SomaDerm HGH Gel is a homeopathic, over-the-counter hormone product marketed to increase growth hormone levels. The active ingredients in SomaDerm HGH Gel are said to include:
- Amino acid compounds
- Botanical extracts
- Vitamins and minerals
How SomaDerm HGH Gel Works
The manufacturers of SomaDerm HGH Gel claim that the product can help raise growth hormone (HGH) levels when absorbed through the skin. Specifically, they assert that the amino acid compounds and herbal extracts in SomaDerm HGH Gel can stimulate the
pituitary gland to produce and secrete more HGH naturally.
However, there is no reliable evidence that this OTC gel can significantly raise HGH levels or provide the benefits often attributed to increased HGH, such as:
- Increased muscle mass and strength
- Weight loss
- Wrinkle reduction
- Enhanced athletic performance
Using SomaDerm HGH Gel
The recommended usage instructions for SomaDerm HGH Gel are to apply a half-dollar sized amount of gel to cleaned and dry areas of skin (abdomen, thighs, arms) each morning and evening.
Potential side effects of SomaDerm HGH Gel are not well-researched but may include:
- Skin irritation
- Increased joint pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Swelling in extremities
Long-term safety data is unavailable on the ingredients in SomaDerm HGH Gel. Use of this product is
not recommended for children or teenagers while natural HGH production is still high.
Assessment of Claims
While appealing marketing messages promote SomaDerm HGH Gel, there is no reliable clinical evidence showing this homeopathic product can significantly raise HGH levels or produce any of the touted anti-aging, muscle-building or athletic effects in users. All labeling claims about SomaDerm HGH Gel increasing HGH levels or providing other health benefits remain unproven.
The ingredients in SomaDerm HGH Gel are not regulated or evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy. Consultation with a doctor is advised before using this or any hormone-based supplements, especially with any existing medical conditions. While this product may provide a placebo effect for some users, expectations about performance enhancement, bodybuilding effects or anti-aging benefits should be realistic.
