Effects of an Amino Acid-Based hGH Secretagogue on Triiodythyronine
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Amino acid supplement first day, Placebo first day, and 2 other interventions for Growth Hormone Treatment and Aging. Completed, enrolled 16 participants.
Detailed Summary
In a recent randomized, double-blind, cross-over clinical trial, serum growth hormone (hGH) increased 682% above baseline 120 minutes after oral administration of an amino acid-based dietary supplement (SeroVital), p=0.01 vs placebo. In contrast to the mechanism of hGH stimulation by ghrelin, the investigators hypothesize that the supplement suppresses somatostatin, a know inhibitor of both hGH and TSH. To test this hypothesis, the investigators measured triiodothyronine (T3) after administration of the amino acid-base supplement.
