Excerpt from article. Read entire article as it seems to imply raising IGF-1 is easy (coke and candy for instance) and the rise in IGF-1 may have no relationship necessarily to GH levels which can be going down as IGF-1 increases. Most crappy products out there only increase IGF-1 and have no or even an inverse effect on GH.
For example, these suppliers claim IGF (insulin like growth factor) as their marker for evidence of HGH production. This is deceptive and potentially harmful. Many other markers must be examined at the same time. This has been proven in study after study.
Consuming cola or candy soars IGF, however your HGH levels plummet. Imagine a major soft drink or candy bar maker plastering on their packaging and commercials "Increases HGH!" The way the rules are written right now, they legally can. This "loophole" is how these suppliers are misleading the public.
