HGH and recovering from muscle injuries (using L-Glutamine)

[Wotan]

In all seriousness folks:-

LH, try it. Do not be surprised at a rise in your libido. This seems to affect women more than men. You will also notice a rise in your energy levels and the clarity of your skin etc.

KingCobra, again have a go mate. Let us know how you get on. I find personal experiences interesting so do not be shy, eh.

Stephen, your profile says you are 18. Maybe this isnt going to be for you just yet. But at least you know for the future eh!

I start taking it to recover from a serious work-related injury. After six months of cycling it I was all but back to normal. What I hadnt reckoned on was the response from other people (male and female). These range from (and I quote verbatim):-

"**** me! You on steroids"?

"Christ, you've lost a bit of weight; bloody tons actually!!" [My weight stayed the same actually].

"You look like you've just come back from holiday, where you been - a health farm"

"How come your skin is so smooth?"

"God you are the best lover I've ever had - how can you keep it up for 48 hours at a time?"





Alright, I made that last one up - but you get the general idea!!

Good luck everyone if you decide to try this!!

Thanks for the further info, Wotan. Assuming a good diet with low levels of insulin, would there be any advantage to someone aged 21-25 doing this or is it a case of saying 'you already produce as much HGH as you need'? Can this method raise HGH beyond the levels we would typically expect to see in someone in this age group or would it be more like taking a load of glutamine and seeing no particular benefit?

[Wotan]

Moot point Duncan.

You are probably wasting your time. I say this because glutamine is a releaser - it doesn't make you make more as it were.

On the other hand there are various things you can do to increase your Hgh output (pre-release). These include high intensity exercise (an hour on the treadmill doesn't count, an uphill sprint that leaves you gasping, does).

Uncomfortably hot sauna's also work apparantly.

Going hungry occasionally also works.

As in all cases the first condition must be a good diet.

In your case the exercise thing is probably your best bet. Same goes for Stephen I'd say.

Thankyou Wotan, your insights are always appreciated. From what you've said, it sounds like I'm already following the right kind of lifestyle for optimum GH release, which is comforting to know! This is something I will be interested to explore in a few year's time, though.

Wotan any chance of a run down of your diet and nutrition plan.

When to eat and why?
What Nutrients to take.
Basic would be good.
Cheers

Thanks LionHair got it working now, I must of posted it to the editor more than once and also had too many lines, tut tut!
Late after skool for me again!

On the important issues Cheers Wotan, I got up early this morning had my aakg and beta alanine creapure, a good hour before food, don't have my L Glutamine yet. Only ordered it on the 20th!
P.S.

Wotan, I mix with Dextrose as a transport agent, is that bad for hgh release?

Should I take the L Glutamine on its own with water can I add orange squash etc...

OK just read your post again,

1. Water
2. No sugar type Fizzy vitamin C
3. L Glutamine
4. Take first thing in the morning
5. Wait for fizz to stop' Drink
6. No food half hour

JOB DONE SCRATCH BUM GO BACK TO BED!
The bed bit is just my own personal preference!

[Wotan]

Yup you've got it KC.

Half-an-hour is a minimum dont forget. Bit longer if you can.

If you don't fancy the fizzy tablet bit then plain water is fine. If the taste is not to your liking (and its not to mine) then the next best thing I've found is a biggish splash of Robinsons sugar free squash of some sort.

The other important bit to remember is that you need the stuff out of your stomach sharpish. Its doing no good just swilling around in there. So take plenty of water with it (a pint is good enough, a coke-can sized amount will just about do, 250ml [a teacup sort of, ish] is the absolute bare minimum).

For best results keep the cycling regime up for six months.

Hope this helps!!

Kingcobra you don't need dextrose to transport creatine anyway. Just take it PWO

[kingcobra]

Hi' Gareth83 what's PWO ?
cheers
