Q & A
Q. What is SecretaGAIN™?

A. SecretaGAIN™- is an exclusive product innovation that stimulates the endogenous (from within) release of human growth hormone. Two highly effective and powerful stacks increase the body’s production of growth hormone and secretion of the ultra powerful IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1) responsible for stimulating myoblast proliferation (cellular growth), protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. This is the metabolic power complex that takes your body to the next level of super growth, amazing power, and ultra definition.

Q. What does secretagogue mean?

A. Secretagogue is a term that refers to substances or compounds that influence the body to produce more growth hormone. It is a classification for these types of substances.

Q. What does human growth hormone and IGF-1 do?

A. Growth Hormone, also known as somatotropin, is a protein hormone synthesized and secreted by cells called somatrophs in the anterior pituitary gland from about 190 amino acids. It is a major hormone responsible for growth and metabolism. The major role of growth hormone in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1). IGF-1 stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts. Myoblasts are parts of the muscle fiber, and proliferation refers to the rapid growth and multiplication of the myoblasts. It also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues. IGF-1 is one of the most potent anabolic hormones in the body!

Growth hormone and IGF-1 have major roles in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. This is metabolically significant to the athlete in that these hormones influence protein for growth, fatty acids and body fat reduction, and carbohydrates for energy and recovery. Growth hormone stimulates the anabolic amino acid uptake, increased protein synthesis and decreased oxidation of proteins. The more amino acids utilized by the cell and the greater the protein synthesis, the greater the muscle growth.

Growth hormone enhances the utilization of fat by stimulating triglyceride breakdown and oxidation in adipocytes (fat cells); and hGH helps to maintain blood glucose within normal ranges.

And growth hormone helps to maintain blood glucose within normal ranges. Growth hormone is said to have anti-insulin activity, because it suppresses the abilities of insulin to stimulate uptake of glucose in peripheral tissues and enhance glucose synthesis in the liver. For this reason, hGH stimulators should be taken on an empty stomach and specifically should not be taken with highly concentrated glucose drinks.

In humans the amount of growth hormone secreted at age 20 is about 500 micrograms, at age 40 200 micrograms, and at age 80 only 25 micrograms. The fall in IGF-1 is identical. hGH and IGF-1 production can be increased significantly by the stimulation of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) by the pituitary gland, suppression of somatostatin a feedback hormone that acts to block the release of GH, and increased activation by the secondary messenger 3’5’-cyclic ester of AMP (cAMP).

Q. How does SecretaGAIN™ work?

A. SecretaGAIN™ is formulated with 2 scientifically derived multi-synchronized secretagogue stacks. Our scientific staff has named these stacks as the Somatroline™ Complex and the Adrenavol™ Complex. Together these two complexes influence hGH release, GH-RH stimulation, and inhibit the down regulators to create a positive anabolic muscular growth environment.

Stack #1 - Somatroline™ Complex

Somatroline™ Complex is a proprietary complex of specific secretagogue substances that stimulate the release of GH-RH and hGH. 2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic-5 oxo L-proline and its companion 2,6-Diaminohexanoic acid are highly specialized fractional components of protein that stimulate the somatroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland to secrete increased levels of hGH. These specialized substances readily clear the blood brain barrier and act directly on the mechanisms that influence the pituitary gland to secrete hGH. Simultaneous administration of these highly bio-active micro protein elements causes pituitary secretion of hGH that peaks 90 minutes after administration. Clinical evaluations have shown plasma hGH levels increasing by as much as 700% after 90 minutes. Basal hGH levels increased from slightly over 12 ng/ml to over 90 ng/ml after 90 minutes, and after 8 hours plasma levels remained elevated at over 45 ng/ml.

Once HGH is released into the bloodstream, it is there for only a short time, only a few minutes, just long enough to stimulate its uptake into the liver, where it is then converted into growth factors.

The most important of these growth factors is called IGF-1, short for Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. IGF-1 is also known as somatomedin C

It is IGF-1, rather than growth hormone itself, which can vary widely through the day, that is used as a measurement of how much growth hormone is being secreted by the body. IGF-1 is directly responsible for most of the benefits and actions associated with HGH.

IGF-1 is 10 times more potent than human growth hormone and is now under investigation as a separate drug for many of the same indications of human growth hormone.

Humans produce approximately 10 milligrams of IGF-1 per day until about 30 years old whereby production begins to decrease. IGF-1 has similarities to insulin and has potent anabolic and cell growth effects.

IGF-1 is also important for its affect on growth and development, diabetes and other chronic diseases. IGF-1 is primarily secreted by the liver in response to a signal from human growth hormone (HGH).

The major tissues affected by IGF-1 in combination with the HGH signal are muscle, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney, nerves, skin and lungs. IGF-1 is known as a 'progression' factor. IGF-1 assists competent cells toward cell division and often that is all cells need for successful activation.

IGF-1 cooperates with PDGF (Platelet Derived Growth Factor) to increase a cell's ability to complete DNA synthesis. IGF-1 not only helps cell growth by division, but also enhances cell specialization.

Hormonal functions, such as the anabolic (constructive) activity of HGH, depends on the production and presence of IGF-1 to achieve positive results.

IGF-1 increases physical performance, mental performance, and physical endurance in healthy individuals.

IGF-1 communicates an anabolic signal to cells, regulating cell division and differentiation as the muscle acquires an increased need for strength or as injury to the muscle is incurred.

IGF-1 promotes the growth of muscle and bone.

IGF-1 acts within the nervous system and is critical for the growth and development of nerve cells.

IGF-1 maintains a high level of cell communication at the neuromuscular junction, where cooperation between nerve and muscle cells takes place.
Studies show that after a one-week period of strenuous exercise, blood levels of IGF-1 are increased significantly. This is due to either regenerative processes from muscle injury or higher requirements in muscles to handle weight loads.


In aging cells, there is a greater need for more IGF-1 in order to move cells out of the 'resting phase' and into a growth phase of the cell cycle.

A slower growth of cells during the aging process correlates with a higher requirement of IGF-1 than the body supplies. The increase in cellular communication from the addition of IGF-1 may bring the aging, slower cells back into a balanced state, optimizing cell activity and tissue/organ performance.

Homeopathic IGF-1...


Homeopathic IGF-1 works in many different areas of the body to facilitate and improve cellular performance.

A recent independent double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical testing of homeopathic IGF-1 demonstrated effectiveness in the nervous, reproductive, musculo/skeletal, and gastrointestinal systems.

More specifically, homeopathic IGF-1 improved energy levels, physical performance, respiratory conditions, and relieved symptoms of PMS and menopause.

It also relieved muscle and bone aches and pains, joint stiffness, inflammation in the body, improved mental concentration and clarity, and positively affected appetite.

Increases in lean body mass also have been anecdotally reported. Homeopathic IGF-1 balances weight by helping the body to achieve its ideal weight, whether it means losing weight for overweight people, or gaining weight for people that are too lean.
