HGH Gel

This post is an adjunct to my previous post regarding ways to boost your metabolism.

In our profession, we get solicited all of the time for items to sell in the office. 99% of the time we say no but there's that rare time something catches our attention and we look into it further. About 2 years ago, we were approached by a rep from New U Life about a human growth hormone (HGH) gel called Somaderm and were a little intrigued. We set up an informational meeting and did a lot of research into the company and ingredients and decided to try it ourselves before committing to selling it out of the office.

Somaderm is the only HgH transdermal gel, meaning, it is the only FDA approved, topically absorbed HGH gel available for resale without a prescription. HGH is a hormone created by the pituitary gland that controls several important functions including bone growth, metabolism, muscle/fat composition, and protein/fat/carb metabolism to name a few. HGH naturally diminishes as we age, peaking around 20-25 years of age then steadily (or rapidly in some cases) declining. Somaderm is topically absorbed since taking HGH orally is less effective due to enzymes in our saliva and gut destroying it.

The marketed effects of Somaderm include: fat loss/increased muscle mass, increased strength, improved sleep, improved mood, increased energy, improved libido, hair growth stimulation, healthier skin and nails, improved memory and better bone density.

From personal experience, after using Somaderm gel for about 6 months, I noticed improved sleep, an improved mood, muscle retention with less time and dedication to working out, and improved hair/nail quality. Having a young one, under the age of two and working full time left me with less time to work out; I still made time for three to four 30 minute workouts a week and saw the same results from when I worked out more often and harder. Also, I am a terrible sleeper, always have been, but did notice improvement from when I was using the gel vs. when I was not which is huge for me. And lastly, my hair and nails definitely grew faster...even my hair stylist commented on how fast my hair would grow. Now, having short hair, this has become rather cumbersome as I have to get it cut every 3-4 weeks now but at least it's healthier overall! My husband reported improved energy almost immediately and also an increase in his muscle mass. He does not have much time to work out but plays hockey 3 times a week and still managed to gain muscle mass despite not lifting weights. He also reported less fatigue while skating and less soreness after intense skates.

After both of us using the product and seeing some form of positive results, we agreed that is a good, quality product and  decided to offer the same benefits to patients and friends.
