Hi, I've had a theory for a while and would like some input on it. I know that low blood sugar, specifically at bedtime helps release growth hormone (cited example below).
So would taking an R-ala supplement or something including other insulin mimickers (glycobol) right before bed cause low blood sugar which would in turn release more GH?
In my mind this would also make GH releasing products more effective when taken along side ALA.
Looking forward to any kind of response

In normal subjects, hypoglycemia produces an abrupt and sustained rise in levels of human growth hormone in plasma. This effect is independent of insulin, glucagon, or epinephrine. Prolonged fasting is accompanied by a rise in the hormone level in plasma. Measurement of this hormone after induced hypoglycemia is a specific test for pituitary somatotropic function.
