My HyperGH 14x Experience | HyperGH14x Review

A while back I started taking HyperGH 14x, which is a daily HGH releaser designed specifically for bodybuilders.   I started taking it after having some surprising success with another hgh releaser/testesterone booster called Provacyl and you can read all about that experiment at this blog post/review.

Being 43 years old and a little soft around the middle I figured there might be something to all of this HGH stuff after a friend told me that he had tried a certain natural hgh releaser supplement (Provacyl), and felt that he’d had some success with it.  (“it really perked me up” – is what I think he said)  I decided to try it and you can read all about my experience in the Provacyl review I did (linked above).

Anyway… after finding success with Provacyl I decided to really upgrade and see if HyperGH 14x was any good.  Now I have to tell you that I am not in any way a ‘bodybuilder’.  Never have been.  I try to stay moderately active, but I don’t make a habit of exercising on a frequent basis if you know what I mean.

Why Try HyperGH 14X?

Spring is coming, we like to go to the beach, and I generally just wanted to try it and see if it would do anything for me as far as muscle building goes.  I also made a mental note to myself to start working out more.  Which I did.  I started doing some pushups, situps/crunches, bench presses, and now that winter is over – riding my bike every couple of days.  I did seem to have more energy than before after taking the Provacyl on a consistent basis.

When the HyperGH 14X arrived I stopped taking the Provacyl.  I didn’t want to skew any possible results.

What does HyperGH 14X consist of?

The ingredients as listed on the back of the box include:

 

  • GTF Chromium (as chromium yeast)
  • L-Arginine HCI
  • L-Glutamine
  • L-Gysine
  • L-Tyrosine
  • L-Lysine
  • Tribulus Terrestris (vine)

Some other natural herbs like Astragalus root, and things like deer velvet antler, GABA, pituitary powder, and a few other things.  You can read the entire ingredients list as well as what they are individually supposed to do for you at  HyperGH 14x ingredients web page.

It sounded like some pretty potent stuff, and they had a few testimonials, but not a lot because the product has pretty much just come to market. (spring 2012)  The testimonials sounded good, and I thought it might be something to take to really get my motor running and motivate me to finally build those muscles that I always secretly wanted and what my wife of 20 years always told me I didn’t need because I was fine just the way I was.  Heh, heh.

Two parts to HyperGH 14x

The actual product consists of not only a supplement/pill you take twice a day, but also an HGH spray.  The 2 ounce spray bottle says ‘Alpha GPC Oral Spray’ on the label.  It also says ‘human growth hormone releaser’.  I guess they are the same thing, but I don’t know for sure.  It probably says on the website so I make a note to look later.  I actually don’t like being a guineau pig for new products, but with my recent success with the other product from the same company I decide to just go ahead and start taking it.

HyperGH 14X dosing protocol

The instructions say to take two tablets in the morning 15 minutes prior to your workout and also to take three sprays of the liquid hgh releaser I mentioned above.  I do that the first morning of taking it.  I actually worked out a little bit too, but not more than usual.  Some pushups, bar curls, bench press, etc., maybe 10 or 15 minutes worth and I didn’t work so hard to even break a sweat. (pretty much my normal workout that I do 2 or 3 days a week)

I also remember to take two more pills and three sprays before bed – per the instructions.

HyperGH 14X Side Effects?

The next morning my lower back is sore.  Like my kidneys are hurting.  Just like they do when I don’t drink enough water after being outside in the hot sun working, or at the beach too long.  I drink a whole bunch of water that day while continuing to take the product.  It says to take the same amount whether you plan on working out or not.

Some HyperGH 14x Results

After four days I really start to notice that I can feel my muscles.  I looked in the mirror with my shirt off and didn’t notice anything different, but I certainly had a new awareness that there was something going on in my muscles.

Does HyperGH 14x make you sick?

The best way I can describe it is to say that it felt like that feeling you get just before you come down with the flu.  Do you know what I am talking about?  Your muscles ache a little bit and you feel like you are about to get sick.  You feel a little bit weak, etc.  That’s what it was like, except it was very subtle.  A bit irritating actually, and thought I might actually be getting the flu, but I had just gotten over it (the whole family had it) so I knew it must be the product.

I took it for ten days and then had to stop. (temporarily)   Even though I had continued exercising on my ‘not so regular workout schedule’ I still felt ‘run-down’ and I knew there was no way I could be ‘sick that long’.  I wasn’t actually sick though.  I did have a runny nose the whole time.  I attributed that to spring allergies.

The pain in my lower back went away after the first few days of taking it.  I attributed that to the product actually flushing out toxins and fat deposits because I ended up losing five pounds the first week even though I was eating more than usual.  I was hungry!

The funny thing is this.  The day after I stopped taking the product my runny nose cleared up and I no longer had that slight ‘before the flu’ ache that persisted pretty much the entire time of taking it.  Now I can’t completely rule out a coincidence.  Maybe I actually was sick.  More than likely all of the above was true.

I think the product was flushing out toxins in my body to a great extent.  I am familiar with things like colon cleanses and that you often feel sick for a couple of days when starting to do a whole body cleanse.

HyperGH 14x is designed specifically for bodybuilders after all.  These guys and ladies are already quite fit, have a much better diet than me I am sure, and generally have healthier bodies.    They probably won’t react that way to start.  Probably will have no ‘symptoms’ at all.

If you are not looking to get big muscles – take something else.  Seriously.

If you are someone who sees some of the benefits of taking an HGH releaser but is not interested in building up your muscles to any great extent there are other products not so potent like the Provacyl I mentioned above as well as another very popular one called GenF20 and the like.

I continue taking HyperGH 14x (for now)

After taking three days off from the product I am back on it.  I wish I had taken a picture to show the true ‘before’.  I will try to get a current picture for your and post it here.  I asked my wife if could notice a difference and she said she definitely could.  (this is after a total of 14 days… three of which I didn’t even take the stuff)

Now… I don’t like feeling sick, so I am only going to take the stuff in the morning whether I work out within 15 minutes or not.  I found that if I took it right before going to bed like they recommend for the second dose of the day that I had trouble falling asleep.  It seems to jack me up a little bit.

So I am going to take this HyperGH 14x hgh releaser stuff just once a day for the next several days and see how I feel.  If I feel great then I may go back to the two doses a day and see if my muscle building results improve.

I’ll keep updating this HyperGH 14x review as time permits.  As yet I am still undecided on the stuff, but I can honestly say that my muscles are bigger after just a couple of weeks of taking it.

If you haven’t already been to the HyperGH14x site I put a banner down below that you can click on to check it out at the official site.  There is a lot of information there.  It looks like a good product.  I am just not sure yet if it is for me.

Natural Hair Loss Home Remedies and Ayurvedic Treatments For Hair Fall

hair loss remedies for men

Thinning hair and receding hairlines are a problem for many men and women.

There are many supposed natural home remedies and treatments for people suffering with hair loss or hair fall.  In this article we’re going to discuss some of the potential cures and hopefully help those who are looking for a natural hair growth remedy.

Ayurvedic Treatments for Hair Loss

Natural ayurvedic treatments are traditional healing programs originally practiced in India.  The proven results of ayurvedic treatments have made even contemporary doctors take a second look at them.  This type of remedy has been used for centuries and mainly depends on altering one’s lifestyle, so that healing takes place.

The natural supplements which include certain vitamins for hair growth in these ayurvedic solutions possess excellent curative properties which not only help to stop hair loss but also help grow new hair.  They also help to remedy an itchy and dry scalp, which of course is a main cause of dandruff problems.

How Does Ayurveda Work?

Ayurveda determines a person’s body type as well as the balance of mind-body constitution which are thought to be the main cause of most health problems including premature hair loss and receding hair lines.

Loss of hair, receding hair lines, and balding can be a result of pitta dosha, which is mainly caused due to excessive intake of alcohol, tea, coffee, fried foods, oily foods, spicy foods, meats, and/or smoking. So, people suffering from pitta dosha may have problems such as losing their hair at an early age or premature graying of the hair.

The use of harsh chemicals and shampoos on the hair and scalp is another reason for falling hair.  Chemicals increase pitta doshas thereby enhancing body heat.  Ayurveda uses amla (Indian gooseberry) and shikakai( Acacia concinna) for washing the hair and you can find these ingredients incorporated in some of the healthy and natural shampoos.  One of the best ones available is called Profollica.

Ayurveda combines the use of balanced diet, oil massage, yoga, herbal products, aromatherapy, yoga, breathing and meditation.  It also puts special attention on oil massage in order to promote hair growth.  Oil massage is known to improve blood circulation in the scalp, which stimulates the hair root resulting in hair growth.

Massaging the scalp with whatever hair treatment product you buy is almost always included as part of the instructions.   A scalp massage on a daily basis, even if you choose not to use a product at all, will certainly help to increase the blood flow to that area and possibly provide other benefits too, such as helping you to be more alert and not feel so sleepy during the day.

Diet and Vitamins as a Hair Loss Remedy

It is very important that every individual suffering from hair loss to take a look at their daily diet.  This is one of the leading cause for pitta dosha and if one finds that they are eating a lot of greasy foods, drinking products with lots of caffeine in them, overindulging in alcohol, etc., they should try to eliminate them or at least minimize how much they are eating.

Moderation is key here.  Pitta dosha can be minimized by drinking 4 ounces of aloe vera juice three times a day for a period of three months.  If you can’t manage the aloe vera, then just about any fresh squeezed juice taken in this manner will at least help your situation.  It will also provide many other health benefits for you too.  Most people realize that they don’t get enough fresh fruits and vegetables in their daily diet, and this is a good way to do it.

Another natural remedy for hair loss is to consume white sesame seeds every morning, which are rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium. People can also consume a couple of drops of sesame oil every day, to improve hair health.

Consuming foods that are rich in vitamin B and C, sulfur, zinc and essential fatty acids can control your falling hair to a great extent.  Protein rich foods like yogurt, green leafy vegetables, nuts, whole grains, milk, soya bean and sprouts helps to enhance hair growth.  Alcohol consumption and smoking should be completely avoided. There has been discussion that too much vitamin D in the diet may be a factor in hair loss is some people, but no definitive studies have proven it to be true.

Drinking fresh juices of alfalfa, carrot, spinach, and lettuce also aids in hair growth. Water has the ability to flush all the toxins from the body, so drinking plenty of water can also help improve hair fall. People with iron deficiencies often have a problem with thinning hair, but this is one mineral that you definitely do not want to get too much of as it has proven to cause other health problems. Once again, balance is key.

Oil Massages to Treat Thinning Hair

Massaging greatly helps in hair fall control. It enhances the flow of blood into the scalp thereby increasing hair and scalp health. Regular hair massaging using almond oil, mustard oil, argan oil, coconut oil, or oils containing vitamin E reduces hair fall by strengthening hair follicles.

Apart from oil, a mixture of egg yolk and honey can be used for massaging.  Also, the juice of coriander provides the same benefits.

Another effective ayurvedic receding hair loss treatment includes the use of herbal serum on the scalp. Herbal serums are known to nourish the hair follicles, minimize itchiness and helps to restore a receding hair line.

What Sort of Herbs Are Good As A  Hair Loss Remedy?

There are a number of ayurvedic herbs recommended for hair loss which includes Bhringaraaja, brahmi, amla, ritha, neem, ashwagandha, marshmallow, burdock tea and horsetail.  Also, rinsing the hair with apple cider vinegar and sage tea has been shown to provide healthy, thick and lustrous hair in many people.

Applying a paste of neem leaves, Indian gooseberry, castor oil and egg yolk on the scalp has wonderful healing properties and thus reduces hair fall.  If it is at all possible, a mixture such as this should be left on the scalp, covered with a tightly fitting wool cap for as many hours as is possible.

If you have the ability to leave the mixture on your scalp for more than 12 hours you can substitute chicken fat for the egg yolk.  It sounds crazy, but many people have reported excellent results with this mixture after leaving it on their head for several days.

Unfortunately in this day and age it is just not possible to go through a routine such as the one noted above.  There are some other manufactured products with natural ingredients that you can use as part of your daily routine that will help.  More on than below.

Ayurvedic treatments for hair loss, unlike many of the other not so natural treatments and procedures, do not possess any side-effects and can be considered as one of the best and safest options in the treatment of receding hair lines and thinning hair.

Are There Any Easy Treatments I Can Use?

If all of this seems to be too much to consider and you are looking for a ready made, pre-packaged hair loss remedy then you may want to take a look at a product and treatment plan called Profollica.  Profollica is a hair loss treatment program with proven results. It comes with a daily shampoo, hair serum, as well as some vitamins for you to take as a supplement on a daily basis.

This is one of the best natural hair growth remedy programs that I have found – Click Here to see my personal review – and it fits in well with the ayurvedic ideas for treatment of hair loss.  You can also go directly to the main company page by clicking the banner I put down below.
