Question

A friend approaches you about a nutritional product and ask you if it is worth it. He shows you a HGH cream called Somaderm that is a homeopathic human growth hormone, meant to penetrate the skin and reduce wrinkles, improve sleep, experience vivid dreams, promote muscle and bone growth, and reduce fat.

Use: concentration gradients, diffusion, active or passive transport, layers of the skin, what substances can or cannot pass through the skin and why.. to explain if the supplement is beneficial or if it is a scam.

Answer 1

Somaderm contains three active ingredients:

Somatropin, which is human growth hormone.

Glandula Suprarenalis Suis, which is pig adrenal gland.

Thyroidinum, which is cow’s thyroid hormone.

This is a lipid based prepration which can be readily and most effectively absorbed by the thin skin.

Somaderm’s site states: In order for SOMADERM Gel to be an FDA registered product, Somatropin needed to be diluted to a 30X dose. Any less of a dilution would make SOMADERM Gel a “prescription only” product. Glandula Suprarenalis Suis 6X is added to support proper adrenal function and Thyroidinum 8X is added to support a healthy thyroid.

In homeopathy dosing, a 30X dose means that the ingredient has been diluted in a ratio of 1:9 with distilled water or alcohol. Then, this process is repeated 30 times. There is no standard dosage for what Somaderm’s claiming the product can do, so it’s impossible to compare the product dosage to anything. Homeopathic mixtures, however, are generally understood by evidence-based practitioners to be mostly water with minimal effectiveness overall.

The science

Is HGH harmful?

HGH is used for GH deficiency, a very real medical problem that requires an actual doctor to treat. And yes: if you’re deficient in GH, you will know about it.

For GH deficiency, HGH is delivered by injections that are prescribed by a doctor.

This isn’t what Somaderm is all about, though.

If you’re not GH deficient, supplementing with HGH can cause joint pain and swelling, and an increased risk of diabetes. It MAY also be related to an increased risk for cancer.

I’m confused by New U Life’s answer to the safety question. They state, “Where HGH replacement therapy can become dangerous lies within self administering the hormone without any supervision, with incorrect dosing, and improper guidance.”

Isn’t that what users are doing? New U Life is essentially saying that their product is harmful.

In short.

The product isn’t proven, it may be harmful, the company is shady. Aging is normal.

You can’t be 20 again, i think not

Highly not recommend , most likely its a greyhat scam.
