HGH Sprays and Pills
The Myth of the Human Growth Hormone Nasal Delivery
Spray
Life's Holy Grail?
For centuries, people have sought the answer to one of
the most prominent questions of human life: Can We Live
Forever? Well, that is probably rather unlikely but what
is not quite so far fetched is the clinically proven
effect of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) treatment. For all
intents and purposes, HGH treatment can slow, stop or
even reverse the effects of the ageing process! Since
the first viable synthesis of effective rHGH
(Recombinant, meaning synthetically produced from human
DNA splicing techniques, HGH), the frenzied race of the
pharmaceutical-wannabes has been on in an effort to
create a cheap version of HGH. The results of this
rampage have led to the unfortunate production of many
bogus supplements and ineffective methods of
administering unrelated chemicals in an effort to
achieve (or claim to achieve) the same or similar
effects as HGH. One such ineffective product is the HGH
nasal delivery spray. This method of administering HGH
is unviable for a multitude of reasons, as will be
discussed here.
Structure of HGH
The Human Growth Hormone is a protein-based structure
that is produced by the pituitary gland, located at the
base of the human brain. It is a complicated 3D molecule
composed of 191 amino acids (the building blocks of
proteins and thus all living tissue) in a very specific
order and configured in a certain way. The links between
these amino acids are, in some places, extremely weak,
making the HGH molecule very susceptible to breakage.
HGH is also the largest of all the hormones produced by
the body, amassing to a molecular weight of 20,000.
Analysis of HGH Nasal Delivery
Many companies wanting to cash in on the HGH buzz have
developed a growth hormone spray, claiming it to be more
effective and less costly than the FDA approved HGH
injection, such as GeneScience Pharmaceuticals' 'Jintropin'.
These HGH Sprays simply do not do what they claim to,
for a number of reasons.
Administering such growth hormone sprays involves a
short burst of the product sprayed into the nasal
cavity, where the product is supposedly absorbed through
the lining of the nose and passes into the blood stream
to be carried to specific receptor sites. To start with,
the HGH molecule is too big to pass through even the
thin lining of the nasal cavity. In addition, such a
spray would assumedly be kept in liquid form. HGH when
dissolved in solution loses its structural integrity.
The specific 3D configuration of HGH is necessary for
correct interaction with the receptor sites in the body,
much like a lock and key mechanism. If the shape of HGH
is changed, as in dissolving, the molecule becomes
unacceptable to the receptor sites, thus proving
ineffective.
Liquid HGH is also very sensitive to heat, losing
potency if not kept at a temperature of 2-8 degrees,
much cooler than most consumer refrigerators, even then
becoming useless after around 20 days. Its sensitivity
also extends to vigorous movements, such as shaking,
which can shatter the fragile links between atoms of the
molecule.
The claims made by producers of these HGH sprays involve
complicated and unjustifiable reasoning in the
ingredients used. These growth hormone sprays, also
known as HGH Releasers, contain a multitude of amino
acids, apparently those found in the HGH molecule, the
claim being that they will stimulate a minor boost in
the natural production of HGH. That's fine for a 20 year
old whose HGH levels are already high, although why
would they need the product anyway? As for someone
older, the supposed increase in production would be so
small as to be almost insignificant, as normal HGH
production would be significantly less than that of a
younger person.
Such a supply of various amino acids is not targeted
towards HGH effects as the same set of amino acids can
also stimulate the hormone controlled production of
adrenal cortisone, to name but a few, which actually
increases the ageing process!
HGH Releasers as found in HGH nasal delivery products
also tend to contain animal brain parts under the
assumption that including parts of animal brain
pituitary glands they are including tiny amounts of HGH.
Firstly, HGH is called so because it is a Human growth
hormone. You cannot obtain HGH from an animal. Secondly,
it is very widely known that brain tissue is the main
cause of the human form of mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt
- Jakob disease (CJD).
Educate yourself
The only safe and effective way of receiving HGH
treatment is via injection under prescription from a
doctor. With the mounting hype and ridiculous claims
made by companies wishing to profit from ill-informed
consumers, it is important to research any HGH product
fully. Talking with your doctor or pharmacist will help
to answer any questions you may have and avoid wasting
money on useless and potentially harmful products, such
as HGH nasal delivery sprays.
