Abstract:SeroVital is an orally-administered amino acid supplement that promotes hGH secretion via suppression of somatostatin. We investigated if daily administration of the supplement would increase levels of endogenous insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a primary mediator of the effects of hGH, and improve symptoms related to low-normal hGH production in a cohort of individuals being treated for fibromyalgia, a complicated condition associated with endocrine features including low or low-normal hGH.
