Human growth hormone (hGH) is one of many hormones secreted by the pituitary
gland (others include luteinizing hormone, ACTH, and thyrotropin). Of these, hGH
is by far the most important for athletes. One of the most anabolic hormones in
the body, hGH can Increase protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, reduce
protein catabolism, enhance lipolysis and shift the body towards fat utilization
for energy production. In short, hGH can help promote muscle gains and reduce body fat
stores at the same time.
As a athlete who values muscle size and strength, how it is possible to increase
GH levels? Pharmaceutical GH is available, but it requires a prescription and is
very expensive (up to $16,000 per year). Injectable GH can cause serious side
effects such as hypothyroidism, acromegaly (enlargement of the bones in your
hands, face, and feet). and growth of internal organs (characterized by a
distended, swollen-like belly).
To obtain some of the same benefits of GH without the unwanted side effects,
athletes have tried taking different kinds and amounts of amino acids in tablet
and capsule form. Often, this was a lesson in futility. How many capsules? How
much arginine? Which other aminos? When? With GM Stack, athletes finally get a
simple, effective solution in the form of a unique "secretagogue
cocktail".
GH Stack is safe-it consists of a proprietary amino secretagogue matrix called
Somatopro A which is combined with L-Dopa and 5-HTP. This complex works
naturally with your body to optimize your GH levels. Unlike prescription GH,
Somatopro A doesn’t create an artificially high and unsustainable level of GH,
the kind that can lead to unwanted side effects and even shut down your body’s
own production of this anabolic hormone. Instead, GH Stack works with your body,
maximizing GH production naturally.
There are two distinguishing features which make GH Stack different from all the
other so-called GH products out there: (1) GH Stack has a unique delivery system
and (2) GM Stack relies on precise ratios which have been proven in the lab and
the real world to produce results. In short, GH Stack takes full advantage of
‘secretagogue synergies”.
Individual amino acid formulations are commercially available (e.g., arginine or
ornithine) and have been shown to raise GH levels in humans at certain doses.
Bodybuilders know this. They also know that, when taking amino acids
individually, they need to take higher doses (6-8 grams at a time) for results,
doses that are sure to bring stomach upset and diarrhea. By combining certain
amino secretagogues, the resulting “secretagogue synergies” allow you to get
higher potencies at lower, more tolerable levels.
For example, combinations of arginine plus ornithine and glutamine plus arginine
work far better than arginine, ornithine and glutamine alone. In one clinical
study, a unique form of arginine (L-arginine pyroglutamate) combined with
L-lysine HCI was shown to greatly increase biologically-active GH levels in
plasma by 500% within 30 minutes. Not only that, this potent combo maintained
higher GH levels for two hours after administration.
There are several things remarkable about this University of Rome study. First,
this combination only required 1.2g of arginine pyroglutamine and lysine HCI
each. Second, the study examined orally-administered forms of these amino
secretagogues. Third, GH levels were increased eight-fold. In addition to GH,
plasma somatomedin A levels were tripled even after hours from administration.
In a Louisiana State University study, researchers found that glutamine alone
could increase GH levels by 400% within 90 minutes. But while glutamine works
alone, other research finds that glutamine works even better when combined with
arginine. L-arginine, researchers believe, amplifies the effects of L-glutamine
through its ability to inhibit somatostatin secretion. Somatostatin, a
polypeptide neurohormone, is the braking mechanism of the pituitary gland that
hinders GH release.
In short, GH Stack contains all the amino secretagogues you need, in the right
amounts, forms, and combinations, to produce results in the real world. To
ensure the efficacy and potency of GH Stack, additional cutting-edge substances
have been added including L-Dopa and 5-HTP.
L-Dopa or levodopa can stimulate endogenous GH production. Unlike amino
secretagogues-and this is what makes L-Dopa truly unique-it does so through a
different mechanism. Furthermore, scientists believe that L-Dopa also plays a
role in suppressing somatostatin release.
5-HTP has been added to enhance the overall effect of GH Stack. 5-HTP, a natural
metabolite of tryptophan, can help reduce body fat stores. It can also help
athletes sleep better-this is vital as GH levels reach their peak during deep
sleep. To ensure that nighttime GH levels reach their peak, GH Stack contains
this valuable component.
Finally, to make sure GH Stack works efficiently, it has been formulated as a
dual-action delivery system. As a powdered drink mix, it functions as both a
sub-lingual and orally-delivered supplement. This unique two-stage process
ensures that GH Stack works better and faster. GH Stack works quickly after you
take it, and more gradually throughout the day. Without a doubt, GH Stack is the
most unique and comprehensive GH product made for serious athletes looking for
an edge.
Recommended
Dosage: Mix 2 teaspoons (10 grams) with 8 ounces of water. Swish GM Stack in
your mouth for thirty seconds before swallowing. Avoid taking GM Stack with
foods that are high in fat or high glycemic Index (GI) carbs. For regular
training, take one serving per day. preferably in the morning or afternoon.
During periods of intense training, take GM Stack twice daily, once during the
day, and once before bedtime.
