I would like to hear anyones opinion on these Human Growth Hormones (HGH). I don't care to take suppliments, but would like to know what others think. Keep getting junk e-mails to order the stuff so I'm just curious.

If it's not a prescription, it's garbage, that is, for REAL hGH. There are some supplements that are supposed to help elevate your own natural GH, but the jury is still out on those.

I have been taking Secretagogue 1 now for over a year. It is one of those HGH precursors Michael spoke about. I have more muscle development and less body fat than I have ever had. Of course, I may have gotten that without the supplement, but I enjoy taking it. I also have not been sick ONE DAY since I've been taking this stuff. It is said to help your immune system. I work in the public sector, have a six year old daughter, and am exposed to all kinds of germs on a daily basis. I have not even had a cold or sore throat, and I swear my allergies have subsided tremendously. I am going to continue to take it since I feel like it has helped me.

Many hormones, HGH included are transport proteins, meaning they are made up of amino acids, just like any other protein. When you ingest them, they're broken up into amino acids and digested just like anything else - in other words, the structure that created the hormone is gone and you've basically got really expensive protein.
As for injected GH, the effects of the are the same, generally, as your own production of GH. However, you body secrets GH in frequent spurts throughout the day. Adding one spurt to dozens won't elicit any sort of noticeable effect. Also, the dosing of the GH products is small in comparison to the spurts your body creates.
