The Myth of the Human Growth Hormone Nasal Delivery Spray

Life's Holy Grail?

For centuries, people have sought the answer to one of the most prominent questions of human life: Can We Live Forever? Well, that is probably rather unlikely but what is not quite so far fetched is the clinically proven effect of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) treatment. For all intents and purposes, HGH treatment can slow, stop or even reverse the effects of the ageing process! Since the first viable synthesis of effective rHGH (Recombinant, meaning synthetically produced from human DNA splicing techniques, HGH), the frenzied race of the pharmaceutical-wannabes has been on in an effort to create a cheap version of HGH. The results of this rampage have led to the unfortunate production of many bogus supplements and ineffective methods of administering unrelated chemicals in an effort to achieve (or claim to achieve) the same or similar effects as HGH. One such ineffective product is the HGH nasal delivery spray. This method of administering HGH is unviable for a multitude of reasons, as will be discussed here.

Structure of HGH

The Human Growth Hormone is a protein-based structure that is produced by the pituitary gland, located at the base of the human brain. It is a complicated 3D molecule composed of 191 amino acids (the building blocks of proteins and thus all living tissue) in a very specific order and configured in a certain way. The links between these amino acids are, in some places, extremely weak, making the HGH molecule very susceptible to breakage. HGH is also the largest of all the hormones produced by the body, amassing to a molecular weight of 20,000.

Analysis of HGH Nasal Delivery

Many companies wanting to cash in on the HGH buzz have developed a growth hormone spray, claiming it to be more effective and less costly than the FDA approved HGH injection, such as GeneScience Pharmaceuticals' 'Jintropin'. These HGH Sprays simply do not do what they claim to, for a number of reasons.
