The formula for GH Max contains Beta Sitosterol for maintaining cholesterol levels, Carnitine for aiding in growth and development, Arginine boosting nitric oxide levels, Boron for aiding in calcium retention in the bones and the natural extracts Guarana Seed and Kola Nut for increased energy and vitality, plus other antioxidants and minerals.

Antioxidants are important for fighting free radical damage, and are thought to have benefits when ingested and when applied topically to the skin. For this reason, they are included in many products for reducing the signs of aging.

Beta Sitosterol is a plant sterol commonly found in legumes, seeds and nuts. Plant sterols are thought to help maintain cholesterol levels, and are best absorbed when combined with cholesterol. Some of its benefits include promoting prostate health, boosting the immune system and fighting cancer-causing free radicals.

Carnitine is an amino acid thought to assist in fat burning, muscle building, and reducing hunger cravings. L-Carnitine is a popular supplement in the bodybuilding world that is thought to aid in muscle growth and development. L-Carnitine can be found in food sources such as red meat and dairy products.

Guarana is a mild stimulant from a South American berry whose seed extract is used to promote stamina and physical endurance. Kola Nut contains a form of caffeine, further enhancing the stimulant effects of Guarana. Unwanted side effects could also occur, such as dizziness and nausea, and could lead to insomnia when taken late in the day.

According to the website, the recommended use of this product is to take six tablets daily on an empty stomach. On workout days, four tablets should be taken before working out, and the other two should be taken at bedtime, three hours after the evening meal. On non-training days, the manufacturers recommend taking two tablets in the morning, two in the afternoon, and two before going to bed.

Many people are sensitive to the effects of caffeine and may feel restless after taking the product. The inclusion of the stimulants Guarana and Kola Nut may lead to insomnia or anxiety; taking it prior to bedtime may not be the wisest choice.

We have no doubt that the slowing of human growth hormone production in the body is a factor of aging, and we appreciate the company’s attempt to target this aspect of aging. While the formula for GH Max contains some beneficial ingredients, it does not address all aspects of increasing HGH production and repairing damaged cells.

Products are available that contain a combination of two effective ingredients. 2-AEP is a patented ingredient that has undergone extensive research proven to protect cells from degeneration, effectively slowing the aging process significantly. When combined with real human growth hormone releaser, the only substance that can naturally increase the body’s production and release of HGH, the most drastic effects can be experienced.
