I am in my mid 40s and have not been seeing much progress
in the gym. Someone suggested I should consider using MGF . I
looked up "MGF supplement" on Google and found alot
of information. Please let me know what you think of it.
Dr Eric Serrano, M.D. found no significant increase of growth
hormone with MGF spray in his clinical studies. Dr. Serrano has
noted a significant increase of growth hormone with 8 to 12 grams
of arginine pyroglutamate but he warns some people get nauseated.
Amino acids, such as Arginine and Orthinine may increase growth
hormone, but it has been proposed a stress to the body, such
as irritation to the gastro-intestinal system can increase growth
hormone. Interestly, workouts with only a brief rest between
sets and exercises can increase growth hormone.
The effects of growth hormone in adults seem to be more lipolytic
than anabolic. In other words, an increase of growth hormone
may burn fat more than build muscle.
Would you recommend 1-AD (Androgen-1). It contains 1 (5-alpha)
Androstene 3, 17 diol 100mg. The label says: "The Anabolic
platform from IDS is made up of prohormones which primarily effect
muscle tissue similar to Deca Durabolin, Anavar, or Primabolin."
Dr Eric Seranno, MD explains this prehormone is a very active
compound, and even though Androstene supposedly does not metabolize
to estrogen directly it will affect estrogens receptors. He suggests
you would be better of spending your money on steroids and get
better results with the same side effects. Dr. Serrano explains:
"In my clinic, 90% of the people that use prohormones
for a long time will get some type of mental problem, depression,
anxiety, something, that is why I don't recommend them".
Serrano feels the manufactures and resalers of these supplements
have been less than honest toward consumers about how well these
componds work. He does see results with some of his patients
within 6 weeks, increasing in size and strength, but after there
is no additional progress. Serrano suggests if someone insists
on using prehormones, they consider using them 6 weeks on and
three weeks off.
Dr Mauro Di Pasquale, MD also points out problems with the
use of prohormone:
