What is Growth Hormone?
Growth hormone is a protein produced by the pituitary, an organ in the central nervous system, which is required for body growth and, maintenance of good health. With age, the pituitary becomes desensitized to secrete growth hormone, but does not lose its ability to synthesize it. All growth hormone replacement approaches seek to re-sensitize the pituitary to secrete this vital hormone.
What is a Secretagogue?
Secretagogue is the name given to any oral agent that is meant to stimulate the pituitary to secrete growth hormone.
Are There Any Secretagogues Available on the Market?
There are many agents that are marketed as growth hormone secretagogues. In a majority of cases, however, that claim should be taken with a grain of salt, since they contain recombinant growth hormone, mostly in homeopathic amounts. Homeopathic amounts generally are not considered to be sufficient to target the pituitary to stimulate growth hormone secretion.
What is Recombinant Growth Hormone?
Recombinant growth hormone is growth hormone produced by DNA technology.
Does Arginine/Ornithine Mix Well with Other Amino Acids?
It should work extremely well with glutamine. Glutamine is another amino acid, which has been shown to effectively induce the production of growth hormone.
When is Arginine Ornithine Best Taken?
It is best to take it as a dietary supplement roughly 30 minutes before physical workout. Alternatively, it should be ingested on a relatively empty stomach either late in the evening or early in the morning.
Are There Any Side Effects?
No! In the right amounts taken, Arginine/Ornithine are safe and effective.
