Human growth hormone is composed of a chain of about 190 amino acids and is folded in a specific 3-dimensional conformation. Because of the complexity of its structure, hGH is susceptible to pH and other factors present in the gastrointestinal tract that can quickly render it non-functional. This is the reason it needs to be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
GH and IGF are too large to pass through skin or even subglingually. They are also very fragile peptides that can degrade in heat and light. Injection is really the only viable method for delivery. But as stated they are so fragile that even when injected they get broken down very quickly. With orally bioavailability there’s a number of things to consider. First the product has to survive the gut and hte harsh ph acidic environemnt. Then it needs to be absorbed and whereby it enters the bloodstream via liver. But the liver can also deactiate or degrade it via metabolism.
I found that information on another forum. I have heard that it doesn’t work over and over. Also hgh is rather expencive and I can’t see how 40 a dollar product would do much.
Here is a cool little thing I found about placebos while looking up hgh information.
The whole concept of “placebos” is often misunderstood. Many people think of it as meaning to be “false” or “doesn’t work”. But the reason real research includes a control group who only takes a “placebo” or “sugar pill”, is that the power of the mind is so powerful, it can have nearly the same powerful effects as a real drug itself. In other words, if you believe you are taking a real drug that will have certain effects on you, your mind may create those effects, with or without the real drug.
Maybe it will do a little something after all lol.
