Secratatropin Ingredients 11
Last but not least, the final ingredient of Secratatropin, L-Ornithine.
L-ornithine is a non-protein amino acid, meaning that it is synthesized from protein molecules in the body. This amino acids which are often used by bodybuilders and those in the fitness industry to improve how their bodies produce muscle.
L-ornithine is mostly used because it helps the body to produce HGH which will lead to increased muscle size and strength. This amino acid is also helpful in wound healing and collagen production because of the detoxification properties it encourages and the increased protein synthesis. L-Ornithine is most often combined with Arginine for their synergistic properties.
L-Ornithine is also used to assist in liver and gallbladder cleansing because it helps to produce urea that is used to flush toxic substances out of the liver. Because of the detoxification properties of the amino acid it is thought to decrease the incidence of gallstones and liver toxins.
(L-ornithine Side Effects | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5047324_lornithine-side-effects.html#ixzz1qUe9vNjm)
Ornithine is an amino acid found in fish, meat, eggs, and dairy, but the body also produces it when arginine is metabolized, producing urea.
Benefits
- elevating the growth hormone levels
- vital in the anti-aging process
- help the body to recover fast from trauma, burns, infections and even cancer
- increases insulin
- build and maintain muscles during intensive physical training
- helps deal with muscle loss that happens during the aging process
- Surgical or traumatic injury increases the body’s need for L-Ornithine to repair damaged tissue and bone.

Secratatropin Ingredients 10
Let's learn more about one of Secratatropin's ingredients, which is L-Leucine.
L-Leucine is an essential amino acid, is known as one of three branch-chain amino acids, which means that the body doesn’t produce it naturally. So for the body to get this key amino acid in the system it has to pull them from a variety of foods, but some--especially vegetarians--can benefit from dietary supplements. Amino acids are the building blocks from which proteins are made, and leucine is a component of femtin and astacin, two "buffer" proteins. The chemical formula of leucine is HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CH(CH3)2, and it is classified as a hydrophobic, meaning water-insoluble, protein.

Dietary Source
Leucine is found in foods that are high in protein, such as fish, meats, poultry and cottage cheese, as well as brown rice, beans, nuts and whole wheat.Foods high in leucine and protein can help maintain muscle while attempting to reduce body fat during weight loss.
A single 4 oz. serving of meat or poultry could supply a 130lb person with up to144 percent of the daily recommended intake of leucine. Seeds and nuts contain less leucine than meat, poultry and seafood; however, they are still high in the essential amino acid. Dairy (products) is another good source of leucine.
Dosage
Your requirements for leucine will depend on your weight, but an intake of 5 grams of leucine, in combination with 4 grams of valine, and 2 grams of isoleucine per day, may be healthy. People who are active may use leucine, in combination with valine and isoleucine, to help increase muscle gains.These needs can be met by adding whey protein powder to your diet. Talk to your doctor if you think you need to supplement your diet with leucine or if adding a leucine-rich whey protein product to your diet may help you gain and maintain muscle and energy.
Eat a low carbohydrate diet while taking leucine to prevent muscle breakdown and to maintain high energy levels. A protein rich diet further helps to increase muscle growth while taking leucine supplements. Individuals with kidney or liver function problems should not take leucine without first consulting a doctor, as ingesting large doses of amino acids may worsen these disorders.

Secratatropin Ingredients 9
L-Lysine is listed as one of Secratatropin's ingredient.
Lysine (abbreviated as Lys or K) is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)(CH2)4NH2. It is an essential amino acid, which means that the human body cannot synthesize it.
Dietary sources
Good sources of lysine are foods rich in protein such as soy, as well as meat (specifically red meat, lamb, pork, and poultry), cheese (particularly Parmesan), certain fish (such as cod and sardines), and eggs.
Lysine is the limiting amino acid (the essential amino acid found in the smallest quantity in the particular foodstuff) in most cereal grains, but is plentiful in most pulses (legumes). Consequently, meals that combine cereal grains and legumes, such as the Indian dal with rice, Middle Eastern hummus, ful medames, falafel with pita bread, the Mexican beans with rice or tortilla have arisen to provide complete protein in diets that are, by choice or by necessity, vegetarian. A food is considered to have sufficient lysine if it has at least 51 mg of lysine per gram of protein (so that the protein is 5.1% lysine).
L-Lysine Benefits: Functions & Benefits of L-Lysine
- L-Lysine natural help for shingles exists. Shingles lesions are painful due to reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. L-Lysine appears to help treat the eruption of shingles. However, there still needs to be more research conducted to definitively proclaim it a major factor. Many have used steroids an antiviral drugs as well. Herbalists say it is helpful as well.
- L-Lysine benefits include reducing the severity of herpes-related cold sores. L-Lysine inhibits the herpes virus. It prevents and relieves cold sores around genital areas, which are type 2 herpes as well as helping type 1 herpes, which is not as harsh as type 2.
- Benefits of L-Lysine also include a role in promoting good bone health
As L-Lysine is necessary for collagen synthesis, it has a role to play in healthy skin, ligaments, and tendons.
Lysine helps the body absorb calcium and decreases the amount of calcium that is lost in urine. Because calcium is crucial for bone health, some researchers think lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Lab studies suggest that lysine in combination with L-arginine (another amino acid) makes bone building cells more active and enhances production of collagen. But no studies have examined whether lysine helps prevent osteoporosis in humans.

- When taken with vitamin C, l-lysine appears to help symptoms of the heart condition angina pectoris.
- Also, since low levels of l-lysine have been associated with depression, chronic viral infections, asthma, and low levels of thyroid hormones, there are possible l-lysine benefits for people with those conditions as well.
- Further, l-lysine appears to work with equal amounts of the amino acid arginine to build muscle.

Secratatropin Ingredients 8
L-Valine is included as Secratatropin's ingredients.
Valine (abbreviated as Val or V)[3] is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH(CH3)2. L-Valine is not processed by the liver, it is taken up by muscles.
L-Valine is one of 20 proteinogenic amino acids.
Valine is an essential amino acid, hence it must be ingested, usually as a component of proteins. Amino acids are essential for everyday body functions, as well as for maintaining muscle and regulation of the immune system. It is synthesized in plants via several steps starting from pyruvic acid. The initial part of the pathway also leads to leucine.
Human dietary sources include cottage cheese, fish, poultry, peanuts, sesame seeds, and lentils. L-Valine is suitable for vegetarians.
L-Valine is necessary for smooth nervous system and cognitive functioning. It is one of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), the other two being L-leucine and L-isoleucine.
Valine is commonly used by bodybuilders, in conjunction with isoleucine and leucine to promote muscle growth. It also provides energy and helps to repair tissues that are damaged during physical activity.
It increases cognitive function and smooths nervous system functioning. L-Valine assists in maintaining proper nitrogen balance in the human body.
Valine is necessary for muscle metabolism and growth of muscle tissue. It also helps to maintain the proper amount of nitrogen in the body. Because it is a branched-chain amino acid, Valine can be used as an energy source in your muscles, preserving the use of glucose.
Because Valine is so essential for preserving, repairing and building muscle tissue, it is recommended for people involved with bodybuilding and other sports that require excessive use of the muscles.

Secratatropin Ingredients 6
Secratatropin contains many beneficial substances, including L-Isoleucine.
What is L-Isoleucine?
L-Isoleucine is a branch chain amino acid (BCAA) and is one of three BCAAs, the other two being L-leucine and L-valine. It is an essential amino acid, which means it must come from ingestion (food or supplements), Some of these foods include include eggs, cashews, almonds, fish, chicken, soybeans, chickpeas, lentils, liver, milk, cottage cheese and cereal grains. L-Isoleucine is crucial in the production of hemoglobin. It also regulates blood sugar levels as well as energy levels. It is metabolized in muscle tissue and is responsible for muscle recovery after exercise.
For athletes or anyone who practices regular strenuous physical activity, IsoLeucine supplements are recommended. Although there are foods that contain this amino acid, people who are extremely active and exercise heavily need more IsoLeucine in their bodies to repair and protect muscle tissues.
IsoLeucine is probably best known for its use in increasing endurance and helping heal and repair muscle tissue. Serious athletes and bodybuilders need this amino acid because of its ability to boost energy levels and help the muscles recover from strenuous exercise and other physical activities.
Bodybuilding requires energy and endurance. By using IsoLeucine along with Valine and Leucine, the muscles fully recover after exercise. IsoLeucine is literally broken down within the muscle tissue to provide energy.
What are the benefits of L-Isoleucine?
- Used for fuel, along with L-leucine and L-valine
- Helps muscle recovery
- Speeds wound healing
- Promotes the growth of new tissue
- Increases the bio-availability of complex carbohydrate intake
- Promotes anabolic muscle building
- Helps neurotransmission

Secratatropin Ingredients 5
L-Glutamine is also one of Secratatropin's ingredients.
L glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in human muscle and plasma. Over 60% of the free-floating amino acid pool in skeletal muscle cells is made up of L glutamine. Glutamine is unique in that like glucose it is one of the preferred energy sources utilized by rapidly proliferating cells. It is a major fuel source for the brain and together with its relatives the stimulant neurotransmitter Glutamic acid and the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA they form the most abundant amino group in the human brain.
It is also a primary nitrogen donor, meaning that it moves the nitrogen around in the body to where it is needed. Maintaining a positive nitrogen balance is absolutely necessary for muscle building.
It is released from the muscle during times of stress (such as hard weight training workouts) and dieting. This amino acid not only has been shown to be a great anti-catabolic agent (protects the muscle from the catabolic activities of the hormone cortisol), to be a contributor to muscle cell volume, and to have immune system enhancing properties but also to help in the following ways:
- Regulation of protein synthesis (this is one of the ways in which steroids exert their muscle building effects).
- Accelerating glycogen synthesis after a workout.
- Sparing the use of the glycogen stored in the muscle cell (recall that the glycogen stored in the muscle cell is what gives the cell the healthy volume and firmness that you seek).
- Faster recuperation from weight training workouts.
Natural sources of L-glutamine include beef, chicken, fish, eggs, milk, dairy products, wheat, cabbage, beets, beans, spinach, and parsley. Small amounts of free L-glutamine are also found in vegetable juices.

About Human Growth Hormone
Growth hormone is a powerful anabolic hormone that occurs naturally in the human body. It is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and stimulates the growth of muscle, cartilage, and bone. It is made throughout a person's lifetime but is more plentiful during youth. It stimulates growth in children and plays an important role in adult metabolism.
Aging is very much related to what we call Human Growth Hormone (HGH). It is a complex hormone that houses 191 amino acids and it is being produced chiefly by the pituitary gland.
HGH has been used since the 1950s to help children with growth problems, but it stayed under the radar for other uses until 1990, when Dr. Daniel Rudman reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that men taking a six-month course of HGH reduced their body fat by 14.4 percent while increasing lean muscle mass by 8.8 percent.
The study included just a dozen men, but it inspired a flood of anti-aging literature touting the benefits of growth hormone, along with countless web sites selling HGH creams and sprays.
(Human growth hormone use rises, but is it legal? April 11, 2007 By Caleb Hellerman CNN)
Since HGH is related to several body parts and functions, enhancement or increase of the HGH will be of big help. There are several benefits of HGH enhancement and one of these benefits is an increase in the level of energy. As we get older, a decrease in the energy level will be encountered. There are physical activities that we will not be able to accomplish anymore due to the lowering of energy.

About GHRP-6 (2)
GHRP-6 stands for “growth hormone releasing peptide”. As the name suggests, the product works by stimulating the body to release more Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and IGF-1. HGH and IGF-1 levels decline rapidly as one gets older, and it is this decline which is thought to be responsible for the aging process. Besides a much lower cost, GHRP-6 offers another distinct advantage over HGH injections as it does not shut down the body’s natural production of this hormone, it just enhances it.
Compared to GHRP-2, GHRP-6 is more attractive because at the recommended dosage it does not lead to desensitization and therefore diminishing effect over time as can happen with GHRP-2.
Possible benefits: Fat loss, muscle gain, increased strength, improved skin tone, better sleep, more energy, stronger bones and connective tissues.
Useful for: Bodybuilders looking to gain muscle; Ordinary people looking to lose fat; older persons looking for anti-aging benefits.
Use it before bed and/or post workout. Taken on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours since last meal), then wait at least 20-30 minutes after your injection before eating.
Works by subcutaneous injection into fat. It can be simultaneously injected in the same syringe as other peptides.
Description:
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 6 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 873 Dalton and a Molecular formula of C46H56N12O6.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GHRP-6 in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

About GHRP-6 (1)
In the world of bodybuilding, GHRP-6 is useful as it facilitates enhancements in terms of normal pulsatile physiological secretion by its hypothalamic action and pulsatile secretory bursts of GH. The list of benefits also include improved natural production of growth hormone, sound sleep, sense of well being, and fast healing of joints and tendons.
GHRP-6 stands for “growth hormone releasing peptide”. As the name suggests, the product works by stimulating the body to release more Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and IGF-1. HGH and IGF-1 levels decline rapidly as one gets older, and it is this decline which is thought to be responsible for the aging process. Besides a much lower cost, GHRP-6 offers another distinct advantage over HGH injections as it does not shut down the body’s natural production of this hormone, it just enhances it.
This peptide has a strong effect on the body's release of GH. It almost promotes hunger and appetite by stimulating a release in Ghrelin which is a peptide in the stomach which promotes appetite and gastric emptying. GHRP-6 acts by stimulating the anterior pituitary gland which causes an increased released of GH. GHRP-6 is used for a range of medical issues including low natural GH production and to promote weight gain in abnormally thin individuals.

Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a penta-peptide. (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D- Phe-Lys-NH2) And, the strength it displays may very well make regular old Growth Hormone (GH) obsolete. But what athletes and bodybuilders really want to know is what is this wonder peptide capable of doing, how is it used, and how does it compare to the other GHRP peptides?
Athletes are taking Ipamorelin in a 200mcg -300mcg dosage, two or three times daily, using a tiny insulin needle to inject. They usually start with the lower dose since side effects can include headaches or what feels like a head-rush. Ipamorelin can be taken at anytime but taking it about 30-45 minutes before a workout would seem ideal because of the pulse in Growth Hormone (GH) it creates allowing for maximum growth.
Studies on the effects of Ipamorelin on bone growth, body weight, and GH release showed some interesting conclusions.In one experiment, various doses were administered over the course of 15 days to test the group's reactions.
There was a distinct and dose-dependent effect on body weight gain however, the treatment group did not show a change in total IGF-I levels. Nor did the treatment group produce serum markers of bone development. For example, the number of cells in the wide portion of the tibia (the shinbone) did not change significantly. This is a good thing because it suggests muscle growth with less potential for deformity of bone or cartilage.

GenF20
This product is based on HGH, which is the Human Growth Hormone.
Research shows that as we age, our levels of HGH decline. This decline is associated with wrinkles and laugh lines, as well as other more troubling signs of aging such as, decline in memory and focus, weakening bones, loss of interest in sex, weight gain and sluggish metabolism, lose of lean muscle tissue, and vision changes.
GenF20 Plus is a HGH releaser.
Essentially, this product encourages your body to release more HGH into your system. This blend of amino acids, peptides and nutrients are designed to launch your pituitary gland into action. The enteric coating on the GenF20 Plus ensures that the ingredients are not destroyed by your stomach acid before they can get into your bloodstream and do their job. It is believed that enteric coating increases absorption of medications by roughly 80%.
The advantages increased HGH level:
- Looked and feel younger
- Enjoy a greater sex drive
- Gain muscle tissue
- Lose fat
- Boosted metabolism
- More energy
- Increased immune system
This product contains a powerful antioxidant to rid the body of cancer cells.

CJC-1295
CJC-1295 is a long-acting GHRH analog and stimulates GH and IGF-1 secretion. It will keep a steady increase of HGH and IGF-1 with no increase in prolactin. [1] CJC-1295 represents a very exciting new compound that has the potential to increase growth hormone and IGF-I secretion and effects, with a built-in safeguard (the feedback effects of IGF-I) to limit excessive elevations of GH and IGF-1 levels. Intense fat loss. Increases protein synthesis for more muscle growth. GHRHKO animals receiving daily doses of CJC-1295 exhibited normal body weight and length. Mice treated every 48 and 72 h reached higher body weight and length than placebo-treated animals, without full growth normalization.

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP-6)
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide – 6) is a 28-amino-acid peptide that signals the human body to begin secreting growth-hormone (GH). Growth Hormone in the human body has host of beneficial effects such as decreased body fat, increased muscle, and increased strength and stamina. The Growth Hormone secreted by the body then causes the liver to secrete the highly anabolic hormone known as IGF-1. IGF-1 also contributes greatly to the body’s ability to burn fat and build muscle. Thus, in several studies, when subjects were given GHRP-6, their muscle mass increased and their body fat was reduced significantly.
Both Growth Hormone as well as IGF-1 also has several beneficial effects on collagen and bone tissue growth, and it would be expected that by using GHRP-6, users would experience the full spectrum of benefits typically seen with the use of GH and possibly the concurrent use of both GH and IGF-1.
In several studies done in both humans and rodents, it has further been found that GHRP-6 has a rapid effect on Ghrelin. Ghrelin would appear to be involved in excess weight gain, adiposity, and insulin resistance. This occurs during both high fat as well as high carbohydrate diets.GHRP-6 is a Ghrelin antagonist, meaning that it actually fights against Grehlin in the human body, and this may be one possible mechanism by which it helps to reduce bodyfat.
