Why does the label not specify the amounts of each amino
acid in SomaLife gHP?
The exact formulation by weight of each is not required to be revealed as
this is a dietary supplement and the quantities are proprietary. However,
please note the ingredients are listed in descending order of quantity.

Is SomaLife gHP actually growth hormone?
No, SomaLife is a growth hormone secretagogue. Actual HGH is given by
injection and needs to be carefully monitored by a physician. It cannot be
purchased in a pharmacy except by prescription.

How does SomaLife gHP work?
A secretagogue can support and enhance the release of human growth hormone (HGH)
from an individual's anterior pituitary gland. It has the ability to restore
HGH levels to the levels found in one's youth. Human growth hormone
influences the growth, regeneration and repair of cells, also bones, muscles
and organs throughout the body. When the Amino Acids are absorbed they
travel through the bloodstream to the anterior pituitary gland which
releases HGH. HGH travels through the bloodstream primarily to the liver
where it stimulates the production of another hormone-like substance called
Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 then attaches to receptors on
cells in the body and triggers regeneration and repair.

What is the minimum age for taking SomaLife gHP?
The recommended ideal age for starting SomaLife gHP is 35. There is
sufficient growth hormone release until the age of 25, after which time
there is a gradual decline so a case could be made for starting at 25.
Additional HGH release would be of little benefit prior to that age.

When is the best time to take SomaLife gHP?
SomaLife gHP should always be taken on an empty stomach if possible. Men may
take all 6 capsules before bed. Women can take 3 before breakfast and 3
before bed, but evidence suggests that a nighttime regime works well for
all.

-
Why should men and women take SomaLife gHP at different
time?
HGH release in men and women peak at different times of the day. Women tend
to release HGH at intervals throughout the day, whereas men's peak release
is approximately 90 minutes after falling asleep, once in Phase IV sleep.
Women have a smaller, but still significant, nocturnal spike as well.

How long should I take SomaLife gHP for before expecting
results?
We recommend taking the product for at least 6 months to see optimal results
and continually thereafter. Please note that this will vary for each person
and results can be extremely subtle depending on one’s state of fitness so
it is recommended that the health questionnaire is completed prior to
beginning the product. If someone does not see results after 6 months it
does not necessarily mean it is not working for them. Some individuals have
fairly high levels anyway. It will, however, assist in the maintenance of
optimal levels and will continue to maximize your current healthy state.

What are the capsules made of?
The capsules are 100% vegetarian and made of natural cellulose.

- Once you stop taking SomaLife gHP will your body age
faster than before taking the product?
No, aging will resume at a normal pace but there will be no accelerated
change

Why is it necessary to drink more water when taking the
product?
It is not necessary to drink more water when taking the product. Everyone,
however, should be drinking the equivalent of 8 glasses or 2 litres of water
a day.

- Is it necessary to take a break? (i.e., 6 days on and 1
day off or 6 months on and 1 month off)
There is no need to take a break when on this product.

What is the shelf-life of SomaLife gHP?
The product will last 4-7 years under ideal conditions however Health Canada
mandates that all nutraceuticals are assigned a shelf-life of 3 years, or
less, regardless of their actual expiry date.

-
Can I take SomaLife gHP if I am allergic to soy beans?
Yes. Soybeans are the source of protein from which the crystalline free-form
amino acids are derived, but the purity of the amino acids from the
extraction process is such that there is no residual soy in the product. As
amino acids are the building blocks of protein in all of us, we cannot be
allergic to them as we require protein to function.

How is SomaLife gHP different from other similar products?
SomaLife gHP is the only patented product of its type available anywhere in
the world. Many of the "growth hormone" products on the market
contain animal derived extracts and chemical stimulants such as GABA. With
bovine (cow) or porcine (pig) pituitary extracts there is a theoretical risk
of animal related diseases such as mad cow disease. GABA is a chemical brain
stimulant similar to a hallucinogen and is actually illegal in Canada. Many
products simply do not contain sufficient amounts of the necessary amino
acids required to be effective. SomaLife gHP also stands out because of the
purity of its amino acids; it is 100% vegetarian and is a specific
proprietary formula of crystalline free-form amino acids.

-
Could I just purchase the amino acids separately?
Purchasing the individual constituents separately would be more expensive,
and unless one uses the correct weight combinations of the right free form
crystalline amino acids salts they would be ineffective.

-
Can I take other dietary supplements at the same time I
take SomaLife gHP?
Yes, SomaLife gHP has been found to enhance the effects of other
supplements.

-
Are there sample packs available?
No. SomaLife gHP is a long-term commitment, not a quick fix or gimmick so
providing samples for a short period would not demonstrate anything. For
full effect we suggest that you use the product following our
recommendations.
