The patient injects GH directly into a muscle or the blood stream twice a day, up to six days a week, and normally under the care of a medical doctor. Shelf life of injectable GH is currently only about 14-27 days. Oral Molecular GH is more convenient and comfortable than shots, but is not absorbed as well. Additives are introduced to protect the GH as it goes through the digestive system and to assist the absorption of the large GH molecules. Most programs recommend one to two sprays, two to three times a day for three to five days a week.
Shelf life varies, but look for expiration dates under six months.
Homeopathic products are very stable and have a long shelf life. In the U.S. a full strength homeopathic Growth Hormone should not be lower than 6X potency. These products usually come in powder, liquid and tablet forms. Most are easy to use, and the cost is about the same as the oral molecular GH products. A secretagogue program normally recommends the product be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, afternoon and just prior to sleep, up to seven days a week, with an occasional week off.
