hghtruths.com – I have been promising for months to do a post on how to make GHR Essentials a better hgh supplement.
Well here we go! (Finally)
To recap, GHR Essentials made by Swanson Vitamins is the best value hgh product that we have reviewed to date. It is not the best product we have reviewed to date, that honor still goes to Secretagogue Gold. However, GHR Essentials is a very inexpensive product that is better than all of those products recommended by the fake review sites that cost three to eight times the money.
First time readers should probably read the GHR Essentials HGH Review first and then come back.
Those of you following the GHR Essentials story should remember that it has a couple of good releaser ingredients but is to light in the amino acid department for any of the amino acids to be of much value as secretagogues.
The simple solution is to add in more amino acids. With 6 or 7 good ones to choose from what should we do?
We tried a few fancy stacked combinations and ended up going for a very simple solution using just one. Funny how the simplest answers is often the best.
The easiest, least hassle and easiest solution was to take more glycine.
Glycine is a naturally sweet amino acid so it should be easy for most people to take by mixing the powder in a little water. People who are really picky about the taste can try using a no sugar drink mix like Crystal Light for flavoring and the health food crowd might just add a dash of stevia. The important thing here is to use some water and no sugar or actual juice. Do nothing that will get the digestive system pumping. Straight up is the best way.
OK, dosage.
The dosage of glycine is dependent upon your dosage of GHR Essentials which can run from 3 capsules to 12 capsules depending on your weight and sensitivity. The capsule dosage for the combination program only runs from 3 to 6 capsules.
The best approach is to start with three capsules and see if you feel anything from it. Do this for a week.
If your answer is yes, proceed to add in glycine. If your answer is no, increase the capsule dosage by one each week until you either start to feel something or get to six. Then proceed to add in glycine.
There will always be a few people who get to six without noticing anything. Don’t freakout. Just add in the glycine.
Just like the capsules, the dosage of the amino acid varies. A three capsule person will be fine with taking 2.5 grams while a six capsule person should take 5 grams.
Yes, readers that is grams not milligrams or nanograms. The proper dosage of amino acids for growth hormone release is measured in grams and it takes a decent number of grams.
This explains why so many of the capsule products get so such low grades and why sprays that claim to contain amino acids are crap. Can you imagine trying to fit five grams of ingredients into six little sprays? Cannot be done.
Can you take glycine in capsule form? Yes but you are looking at taking 3 to 12 capsules and adding significantly to the cost. Powdered glycine is relatively inexpensive.
What brand of glycine should you use? Just get some from a reputable company that you trust. I had just a little bit around from Source Naturals around so I purchased some of Swanson’s private label brand. They also sell Now Foods that is even cheaper and you get twice as much but I have been doing a private test of the house label brands.
This is a very affordable program. It works out to about $13 per month for the 3 capsule person and $21 per month for the 6 capsule person. Rather inexpensive for a combination that as an individual product would get a solid B.
FTC Full Disclosure Notice
If you happen to click on one of the Swanson banners and buy something from them, they might pay us a small commission on first time orders. That is if the internet stars are aligned properly.
We have to pay for the corporate jet somehow.
We might as well give this thing an official grade and add it to the Big List.
The GHR Essentials Combination receives an hgh review rating of a solid B. Maybe even a notch hire for the 3 capsule value conscious consumer.

Thanks…I guess the gold is still the champ with the B+ anyway to get it to A?
I just have a question regarding HGH supplements in general. The most prominent ingredient in all the the HGH booster supplements I’ve seen seems to be the following:
L-Arginine and L-Ornithine
So my question is why pay for an”HGH formula” from some supplement company that just adds filler vitamins and misc supplements when you can just buy L-Arginine and L-Ornithine in pill or powder form and use that instead? It would be a lot cheaper.
Am I wrong on this? Is all you really need to boost HGH is higher intake of L-Arginine and L-Ornithine ?
Please reply, as I am considering supplementation very soon.
Phil,
Arginine and Ornithine are not present in most products in quantities sufficent for hgh release. You need large dosages of these two ingredients and even then it is not the best thing to take.
Thanks for putting up an informative blog on HGH…It’s been very helpful.
I have been looking at your site and haven’t found any information on if HGH supplements or injections can help with hair loss.
I’m 31, female, and have been noticing increasing hair loss in the past 2 years. After trying out a number of different therapies (acupuncture, prescribed medication, etc) my doctor recommended that I take HGH injections once a week as a last resort.
Do you know if taking HGH supplements or injections or a combination of both can help with this?
Erica,
Thanks for the rare new question. There is basically no real research on the subject. I have seen people with gray hair get their color back. People have claimed that they have gotten compliments about how healthy their hair looks. I have never met anyone who claims that it stopped hair lose or caused the growth of new hair. Though I am sure that there are hgh marketers who would love to make that claim.
Hi,
Just ordered my GHR Essentials and Glycine. Can’t wait to try this stuff out.
Is this safe to take along with a flurry of other supplements? Creatine, WHEY protein etc. as I do do intensive training throughout the week.
I also take 5HTP, Melatonin and L-Tryptophan at night to help me sleep. Would adding the GHR mix give me trouble?
Anyway very informative site! You just saved me spending hundreds on Isotropin as I’m from Australia and you cannot get any of the highly reviewed GHGs past customs.
Notice no one’s commented in a while. Too late in the game I spose.
Thanks. (Btw, you should have a donate button. I would be happy to pay for such great information)
