*Rants, while pacing the floor*

OK. About a month ago, Keira made an important announcement that human growth hormone works hand in hand with HRT in helping people develop breasts, and etc., etc.

i began following up on those remarks a few weeks ago, with a post in this very section, and actually began identifying the amino acids and vitamins to take to actually help the body with its production of human growth hormone.

but aside from a few interesting posts, and a pissing contest with Amy, what, i ask you, has anyone else said about this most intriguing and, not to mention, urgent, topic among all trans above the age of 28 who may be on Hormone Replacement Therapy? *Now flailing arms about*

Nothing!! That's what!!!!

*Pacing again, and nodding head like Ralph Kramden*

Nada!!  Zippo!!  Zilch!!

Aw No--------ooooooooooo!!!  "what color is your aura" was much more interesting, informative, and thought-provoking. Mm Hmm. That's right.

and you know what? now i'm not going to say another word about it, unless somebody asks politely. and then, only maybe. who knows? i just may be too busy finding out what color my aura is...except this: i think i'm getting an angel bump!

I think my aura was green

could you link the original thread here please? (yours, not the aura one)

Well, that was polite enough, i must say.
here's the link: After 2 weeks on HRT

The amino acids shown are Arginine, Tryptophan, Glycine, Tyrosine, and Phenylalanine.
These (and a lot of other amino acids) are all available in one liqui-tab.

Or, another way to get amino acids is by taking collagen, Type I & III, which is widely available in nutrition stores. The one that I have lists the amino acids in percentages rather than milligrams. One scoop per day, and if you take this, you don't need to take the liqui-tabs.

Yet another source is 100% Whey powder with protein isolates. This provides   very high dosages of amino acids. very high dosages are to be avoided, especially with Arginine. 1 tablespoon in water, per day. do not use the large scoop which comes with the package.

take amino acids at night, 1/2 hour before bed.

All types of amino acid supplements must be taken on an empty stomach, and you should wait at least 1/2 hour before eating, once you take it.

The vitamins and minerals needed to stimulate human growth hormone within the pituitary are:

Vitamin B-6, Niacin, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Vitamin C.

Most of these are included in a good multivitamin, though of course, you will need to take additional Calcium and Magnesium to get these closer to 100 percent.

Also, Boron helps keep estrogen in the blood longer (also in most Multivitamins).

since most growth hormone production takes place within 90 minutes after falling asleep, take these vitamins and minerals before bed.

*these are nutritional guidelines, not recommendations. always talk to your Dr. before changing nutritional or supplement regimens.

A better idea is to get a little bit fat and let the blood sugar do the work.

While I know growth hormones are important to E doing its job in a timely fashion, its production is mainly due to genetics, so not to sure how much you can influence them.

Injecting them is usually bad because people usually abuse them and I think its very hard to keep decent levels without starting with high levels (which is not good).  Since growth hormones is like stoking the body fire, any thing that's not going right in the body risks going more wrong if used in those high doses. Though since supposedly if its produced during the night (not sure about that), it must have a decent half-life in the body; so the main issue here would be its abuse and not its use. Maybe its hard to find out the proper dosage for an individual.

well, I eat tons of salmon which has tons of complex fats and nutriments and I look like I'm in my mid 20's while I'm 40.
