GHR15                                  Back To Top

The science behind GHR15 is the use of HGH releasers or agonists, ingredients that bring about the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. By using these agonists, you are able to induce your pituitary to secrete extra HGH and then accentuate them to full potential with a proper diet and HGH-releasing exercises.

Twenty amino acids form the building blocks of all proteins and are needed for the body to make the proteins of enzymes, many hormones, muscle, bone, skin, organs, etc. A number of these amino acids have been shown to induce growth hormone secretion — and GHR15 stacks them in such a way that maximizes their benefits. The following is a list of the amino acids contained in GHR15 and their anti-aging benefits.

L Arginine: An essential amino acid (meaning that the body cannot create amino acid on its own but must get it from the foods we eat).

Growth Hormone Effects: Arginine causes the secretion of growth hormone. In fact, a 15 to 30 gram intravenous infusion of arginine is used as a standard endocrinological test to provoke the pituitary into releasing growth hormone.

A study at the University of Turin, Italy, showed that even though people in their seventies had lower response than either children or young adults to arginine, the nutrient still boosted their blood levels of HGH to triple the average for their age group.

Arginine also helps to improve exercise performance, because it is one of the main ingredients, along with glycine, that the liver uses to make creatine. Supplements of creatine monohydrate are very popular in the bodybuilding community because they raise the level of high-energy creatine phosphates within the muscle and nerve cells needed for high-intensity, short-duration exercises. So with arginine you get higher growth hormone levels and the raw material for increasing your energy.

Arginine appears to stimulate HGH by blocking the secretion of the growth-hormone inhibitor somatostatin. It also greatly enhances the effect of growth hormone-releasing hormone when they are given together.

Positive claims for arginine include increasing fat burning and building muscle tissue probably through the stimulation of growth hormone, increasing the weight and activity of the thymus gland, boosting immunity, fighting cancer, promoting healing of bums and other wounds, protecting the liver and detoxifying harmful substances, and enhancing male fertility (almost all of which are enhanced by CH). It also restores sexual function in impotent men. In a 1994 study by Drs. A.W. Zorgniotti and E.E Lizza of the department of urology/surgery at New York University School of Medicine, six of fifteen men who took 2,800 milligrams of arginine a day for two weeks had renewed sexual performance, specifically improved erection, yet none of the men on the placebo did. The researchers believe that arginine worked because it is a precursor of nitric oxide, which plays a key role in initiating and maintaining an erection.

L-Lysine: An essential amino acid that affects bone formation, height, and genital function.

Effects on HGH: A 1981 study by Italian researcher A. Isidori, M.D., and his associates at the University of Rome found that the combination of 1,200 milligrams of lysine and 1200 milligrams of arginine pyoglutamate in fifteen male volunteers between the ages of fifteen and twenty was ten times more effective than taking arginine alone. According to the researchers, "we could demonstrate that the association of the two amino acids does result in the release of biologically active hormone able to affect peripheral cellular receptors and thus cell growth in general." The fact that lysine and arginine together were active in oral form, say the researchers, "is clearly of considerable importance in clinical and diagnostic practice, where it offers a more practical and physiological approach."

According to Roy Walford, there is evidence that a combination of lysine and arginine may increase thymic hormone secretion in older animals and humans, partially reversing the immunodeficiency of aging. Again this could be HGH-related. It also effectively reduced the recurrence of herpes simplex infections at dosages of 1.25 grams in a 1984 Mayo Clinic study.

L Glutamine: The most abundant amino acid in the body. It is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body may not be able to synthesize all it needs when it is under physical stress.

Effects on HGH: Glutamine is the latest amino acid to generate excitement as a HGH-releaser thanks to a 1995 study by Thomas C. Welboume of Louisiana State University College of Medicine in Shreveport. Welbourne showed that a surprisingly small oral dose of about 2 grams of glutamine raised growth hormone levels more than four times over that of a placebo. Even more exciting, age did not diminish the response at least in this small study of volunteers, who ranged from thirty-two to sixty-four years.

Glutamine is the amino acid that is most used by the body, particularly during times of stress. The immune system and the gut practically live on glutamine. If the body does not produce enough glutamine, muscle loss and immune dysfunction can occur. The gut atrophies, meaning nutrients all kinds cannot be absorbed as well as before.

A 1993 study by Welbourne in animals showed that glutamine supplementation protects muscle mass and prevents acidosis, which occurs with strenuous exercise and causes muscle breakdown. According to Tudy Shabert, M.D., author of The Ultimate Nutrient Glutamine, supplementation with glutamine, especially in times of stress, would prevent muscle wasting. In a foreword to the book, Douglas Wilmore, M.D., of Harvard Medical School, points out that glutamine is a key to the metabolism and maintenance of muscle, the primary energy source for the immune system, and essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and cell growth, all factors that are enhanced by HGH. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier into the brain, where it increases energy and mental alertness.

High levels of glutamine in the blood translates into greater health as a 1994 study showed. In a survey of thirty-three people over the age of sixty, those at the top of the scale of blood glutamine levels had fewer illnesses, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and were closer to their ideal weights than people at the bottom of the scale in this nutrient. The low-glutamine subjects had higher rates of arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease, while those who were high in glutamine said that they felt great.

L Glycine: A nonessential amino acid.

Effects on HGH: Two studies found that this amino acid increased HGH in the serum. In one, 6.75 grams at bedtime caused an three-fold increase, while a Japanese research team showed that 30 grams raised HGH levels ten times over baseline in patients who had gastric surgery. An oral dose of 250 milligrams in normal volunteers also showed a significant, but less pronounced, rise in HGH. They conclude that "the facts demonstrated that glycine is one of the stimulatory agents inducing the pituitary gland to secrete HGH." Glycine has also been found useful in increasing output in exercise workouts.

It may be useful in dampening hyperactive brain activity that produces spasms. In one study, 1 gram of glycine a day for six months to one year significantly reduced spasms in all ten patients with severe chronic spasticity in the legs, including seven with multiple sclerosis.

L Pyroglutamate: An amino acid naturally found in vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and meat. It is also normally present in large amounts in the human brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood.

Effects on HGH: Pyroglutamate has also been shown to be effective in alcohol-induced memory deficits, and more recently, in people affected with multi-infarct dementia. In these patients, the administration of pyroglutamate brought about a significant increase of attention and an improvement on psychological tests investigating short-term retrieval, long-term retrieval, and long-term storage of memory. A statistically significant improvement was observed also in the consolidation of memory.

In human subjects, pyroglutamate was compared with a placebo in a randomized double-blind trial for assessing its efficacy in treating memory deficits in 40 aged subjects. Twenty subjects were treated with pyroglutamate and 20 with a placebo over a period of 60 days. Memory functions were evaluated at baseline and after 60 days of treatment by means of a battery made up of six memory tasks. The results show that pyroglutamate is effective in improving verbal memory functions in subjects affected by age-related memory decline.

L Tyrosine: An amino acid precursor to epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine, three important brain neurotransmitters involved in mood, mental function and sex drive.

Effects on HGH: Tyrosine is also used by the thyroid gland for the production of Thyroxine, a vital hormone involved in regulating growth, metabolism, skin health and mental state. Clinical studies indicate that Tyrosine can be helpful in reducing the irritation, fatigue and depression of PMS sufferers.

Lysine was heralded in early 80's as a treatment for mouth blisters and cold sores due to its effects on viral growth and reproduction. L-Lysine aids in the production of antibodies, hormones and enzymes, maintains the body's nitrogen balance, aids calcium absorption and is instrumental in the formation of collagen.

GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid): A supplement designed to help decrease body fat levels and increase lean muscle tissue by stimulating the brain to secrete increased amounts of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). GABA was discovered in 1970, as a synthetic compound capable of passing the blood-brain barrier and useful as an anterior pituitary stimulant. Later studies demonstrated GABA to be a potent neurotransmitter and to be an effective potentiator of secretions of Growth Hormone in athletes.

Effects on Growth Hormone: GABA has been clinically proven to help the pituitary gland to secrete Human Growth Hormone in athletes. A second important role GABA plays for athletes can be seen in its analgesic producing effects. Athletes training and competing using GABA can expect to experience less discomfort and generally exhibit a higher threshold of pain tolerance.

Hypothalmus: GHR15 is fortified with a purified powder form of the hypothalmus gland. The manufacturer tested this additive for months before adding this ingredient to the production line of GHR15. The results of this test were an even increase in the HGH levels of those tested, with no side effects reported. Again, this is an all-natural ingredient that derives from bovine and is similar in nature to the Anterior Pituitary Peptides

Common Questions?

Back To Top

What are anterior pituitary peptides and where do they come from?
The anterior pituitary peptides are from glandular extracts. Glandular products have been used in Europe for years and are usually taken from animal sources such as lamb, bovine or porcine. GHR15 extracts are pharmaceutical grade and specially prepared from bovine.

How much weight can I lose?
You can lose up to 14.4% of body fat and gain up to 8.8% in muscle mass over a six-month period.

Can I take GHR15 while I’m pregnant?
Since pregnancy causes an increase in hormonal activity, it is not necessary or desired to take hormone releasers at this time.

Can I take GHR15 if I am diabetic?
Diabetes is often helped with the use of hormone releasers, however, blood/sugar levels should be closely monitored and the care of a physician is essential.

How does GHR15 affect those of us with prostate cancer?
In regards to prostate cancer, you can receive a report online by clicking here written by the Medical College of Wisconsin. This study shows that IGF1 levels are not associated with prostate cancer. Please read this report and share it with your doctor.

I am a regular blood donor and I seem to recall always being asked whether I am receiving human growth hormones. Should I discontinue blood donations if I start taking GHR15?
This precaution is taken only if you are actually injecting synthetic human growth hormone into your body, which is dangerous and costly. GHR15 does not contain hormones -- it stimulates your pituitary gland to release your own human growth hormone and it is completely safe.

Is GHR15 FDA approved?
GHR15 is an all-natural supplement and does not fall into the approval jurisdiction of the FDA.

How should GHR15 be stored?
Storage in a cool, dry place is recommended. Your refrigerator is the best example. However, as long as the supply is in a temperature and humidity-controlled area, the product will be fine. Refrigeration is not required.

Couldn't I make this product myself by going to a nutrition store?
Most nutrition store sources of amino acids don't have sufficient quantities and balances to be effective growth hormone releases. Unless you are a medical researcher, trying to put together your own combination of amino acids will probably not be effective. GHR15 stacks these amino acids and combines them with other ingredients that ensure the most effective stimulation of the pituitary gland and the highest results. Please click here for a detailed explanation.

What can I expect to happen if I ever decided to stop taking GHR15? Will the process of anti-aging reverse and have a negative effect on me?
Your pituitary gland will resume it's normal state. There are no negative effects should you stop taking it.

Has this company gone public in the stock market?
No.

"I wanted to thank your company for the tremendous results that I achieved in the past seven months while using your product. I have more energy and gained more muscle mass then in previous years. I am 39 years old and have been weight lifting for the past 19 years. I feel like I am in my 20's again."

"My husband and I are both on ghr15 (going on 4th week) and already I have seen an increase in energy. As I have fibromyalgia and do not want to use drugs, I am happy to report better sleep and improved energy. If GHR15 takes away the muscle pain I will remain a customer for life!!"

Cindy Ward

"Our doctor recommended the GHR15 to my husband. At the time I was skeptical and did not try the product. However, my husband did try it and because of his fabulous results, I've just started on the program. He was scheduled to have surgery on his feet due to his hammered toes. Since he has been on the GHR15, his toes have rapidly healed and are almost cured. We were happy to cancel the scheduled surgery. He has gotten much more energy, he's sleeping through the night, he was able to cut down on his insulin and his feet no longer throb!"

"I personally love GHR15. Since I started taking it (the first of September, '99), I feel like a new person. I've lost 15 ugly pounds, I exercise daily (before I would hurt too much). Don't tell anyone, but I was doing my hair color once a month (gray doesn't show), now I have to do my hair every two weeks (brown does show). I'm a student at FAU and in the spring I barely made it (all kinds of physical problems). I was beginning to wonder if I would make it through college. This semester I feel great, and I have no doubts about finishing in the spring...I will continue telling everyone who will listen about this great product."

Claudette Fryer

"I wanted to write and thank you personally for introducing me to GHR15. I was a bit skeptical when I first began taking the product, but after your claims of a better night sleep, I wanted to give it a try.

In all honesty. I have to say WOW! After three weeks of taking GHR15, I began sleeping the entire night. I have so much energy and my thought process is clearer than it has ever been.

I have noticed some: other things happening to my body as a whole that I would like to share with you. I had been working out two or three times per week without noticeable results. I hired a personal trainer and still nothing remarkable. After beginning the GHR15, my arms have increased 2 inches and my legs are now well defined. My skin and hair look better and I've lost about 6 pounds. All this after only two months.

This product has overwhelmed me. I've already start recommending it to my patients. Again, thank you so much for letting me in on your secret. I love it."

"I've just completed my first two weeks of using the GHR15 product. I accidentally found out about the product from listening to a PBS radio station one weekend, and the benefits touted caught my attention, especially as a sleeping aide.

I'm a 53 year old white male in general good health, although probably overweight by 20 pounds (5'10"/210 lbs). Most people think I look less than being in my 50's. In fact, my Father's family history is one of healthy longevity--- he just turned 90 and most of his siblings survived into their 90s. Since taking this HGH "releaser" I've noticed I have more energy (not as tired after working my stressful management job each day, and my graying hair now has some color returning. Also, after having some sleeping problems during the last 7 years, I'm now sleeping through the night even though I must get up 1-3 times a night to empty my bladder (enlarged prostrate condition).

In the past, after I'd return to bed from the bathroom, I'd have trouble getting back to sleep---not any more. To sleep at night, I had been using Advil or Benadryl Allergy when I've had sleep problems. I guess using that stuff too often isn't the best, but I've always rationalized that lack of sleep is even a worse alternative. Haven't used any of this Advil or Benadryl stuff now for two weeks. I've also had problems over the last several years with weak, painful knee joints---I've noticed they don't bother me very much any more now. I'm also hoping that this product will help me reduce my weight as it claims by reducing my body fat and increasing muscle mass.

I'm not endorsing or recommending GHR15 to anyone, only sharing what I've noticed since I've been taking it for two weeks. I know my body pretty well, so I'm confident on what I've noticed about these changes."

"I had an interesting experience recently. My youngest daughter was standing behind me discussing something or another when she started running her fingers through my hair. Now I've been bald from the middle of my head to my forehead for about twenty years, and the remaining hair was pretty thin.

'Dad! Something is different about your hair,' my daughter said. 'It's thicker, maybe?'
After three months on your Growth Hormone Releaser (GHR15) there is definitely a difference in the way my hair looks. Solid white for years, my hair is darker, has more body, and I have hair in that bald spot at the front of my head. I started noticing these changes after less than a month on GHR15.

As I have aged (I just turned 54), I also noticed undesirable changes in facial hair -- dark, hard whiskers that caused blemishes and increased hair on and in the ears. With GHR15, these changes have mostly reversed.

In addition, in the first month I lost about ten pounds without changing my eating habits that I was aware of. I'm disappointed that I haven't lost any more weight, but I have noticed that I've taken my belt up a notch and trousers that once were on the verge of too tight are now comfortable. I suppose somehow my body is rearranging the weight it carries?

There may be other, more subtle changes, but they are difficult to pin down. In any case, I intend to stay on GHR15 indefinitely. I believe it is that good. Thanks for introducing me to this product.

Tom Badgett, Tennessee

"I had to write this letter because I am truly shocked at what GHR15 is doing for me. Like any new products that sound too good to be true, I was full of skepticism. But, having taken GHR15 for my first 3-month cycle, I can say without hesitation that the product does, in fact, release my own human growth hormone.

Coincidentally, at the same time I started taking the product I had blood work done as part of my routine physical exam. While there, I asked to have my IGF-1 measured as a starting point. It was at 235. After three months, I had my blood drawn again and tested for the IGF-1 level. It had soared to over 380. This confirmed why I felt so good.

The best part is the 39 pounds I lost with no intentional change in my daily routine. I say "intentional change" because I had no intention of changing my routine when I started on the product. But, the incredible energy I experienced virtually forced me to become more active. And I cannot express in words how good I feel because of GHR15. This product simply makes me feel great all over. My husband and two brothers and their wives are all taking GHR15 now because of what they have seen in me.

Thanks again and good luck."
