According to a Mayo Clinic article released in February 2009, the answer is no. They state that no U.S study has had results that show effectiveness of Herbal HGH pills. Where as the effectiveness of injections have been proven.

In the U.K. studies were done in 2008 and 2009 that show Herbal HGH pills which contain high levels of Lysine, Arginine HCI, Glutamine, Isoleucine, and Glycine have shown to be effective.

HGH injections are synthetic, not natural and have been proven to be effective. Yet with the positive results are lists of drawbacks. Injections are given 2 to 3 times a day and cost $25 or more per injection. This is can add up to more than $20,ooo per year. Because it is a synthetic drug it is available only with a prescription. Yet aging is not classified as a medical disease, HGH Injections are not covered by insurance and the cost is totally out of the client’s pocket.

The side effects of HGH injections are tremendously painful and dangerous; liver damage, edema, joint pain, fluid retention, gynecomastia, and acromegaly. Clinical studies have shown the continued usage of synthetic HGH can cause the pituitary gland to shut down as the body sees its decrease in production of natural HGH overshadowed by synthetic HGH as a sigh of a useless organ.

The list of Herbal HGH Products is long and varied. None should be consumed without careful study. There are reputable companies producing these products that have individual studies that show they are effective.

Supplements contain no synthetic ingredients which can harm the body. They cost from $50 to $100 a month and are available over the counter without a prescription. Because they are all natural they stimulate the growth of the body’s natural growth hormones.

There are no adverse side effects. It takes longer to see results but sometimes slower is good, especially compared with the side effects of synthetic HGH.

People who have taken Herbal HGH report a positive change in muscle tone, increased energy, better mental alertness, stronger immune systems and a decrease in wrinkles.

With all Herbal HGH Products research before using and ensure your physician is aware of any and all supplements you take. Although no adverse effects have been found when used with other medications, your doctor can make a decision based on individual patient records.
