>Well folks I have been debating whether or not to step in with my HGH comments but I feel it's time. I was a "hardcore" bodybuilder just a few years ago and still keep somewhat up-to-date with that scene. In the muscle world there is always much talk of using HGH an/or supplementing with amino acids (arginine and ornithine come right to mind) that are SUPPOSED to promote GH release. Last I knew HGH was legal to possess and obtain but illegal once "recombined" (with saline?) for injection. I just placed a quick call to a bodybuilder friend who's in the know on this and he says it's actually a Schedule III "drug" to the best of his knowledge. My point here is to watch where you ask about HGH and with whom you discuss obtaining it, my friend agreed that those in the pharm world will probably jump to assume anyone interested in HGH (those who are already in therapy would presumably be educated by a physician already) isin it for the muscle-bulking claims. Comments welcome, maybe I have it all wrong, but that's where I come from.
Hello! If I remember correctly, it is legal to have small amounts of HGH, which is one of the reasons the spray products have so little in them. The nice thing about getting it in the form of colostrum, is that there is no law regulating this (thanks God!), and this natural product is relatively cheap and easy to get. Plus having all the extra related growth factors. Arginine and ornithine do NOT cause much HGH release. This is a common misconception. The reseach showing significant HGH release was NOT done with arginine and ornithine. It was done with two related compounds and lysine: l-arginine pyroglutanate (l-arginine-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylate) and l-lysine hydrochloride and ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG, a salt formed of two molecules of ornithine and one molecule of alpha-ketoglutarate). If you use regular arginine and ornithine, they won't do much for HGH release. Hope this helps. Karl -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
