Somaderm HGH Review
By: Rob MillerFact Checked On: 6-16-2023
Aging sucks.
Big time.
There are a gazillion so-called homeopathic products on the market that claim to be the fountain of youth — including Somaderm HGH gel.
Reverse-aging, anti-aging, youthification… you name it and these companies have coined a term to catch your attention.
In this billion dollar industry, some products rise to the top, while 99.9% of all other products fade away like a bad dream.
And it’s really no surprise.
Special Note!!
If you’re looking for a truly effective HGH releaser, we recommend you check out a product called HyperGH 14X.
It’s a highly-effective Somatropin HGH alternative, and is by far the best I’ve ever tested (and I’ve tested literally DOZENS!).
Click Here to learn more about HyperGH 14X in my comprehensive review.
Why?
Because there is no such thing as a fountain-of-youth product that can reverse the aging process.
Turning back the clock is unfortunately just not possible, which doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do to make it go smoother, but reversing aging is impossible.
I mean, last I checked, 10 out of 10 people die in the end.
Ouch, right? :-/
But it’s not all doom-and-gloom.
Some products DO help to “manage” and perhaps “slow down” the aging process.
Some even do a pretty good job at boosting energy, helping you to lose weight, improve sleep, etc.
So when I recently received an email from a guy asking if I’ve ever tried New U Life Somaderm HGH gel, I just had to dig in and take a good look at it.
I must say, there’s something different about this dietary supplement.
It contains Human Growth Hormone (HGH), which we’ll learn more about in a bit.
But does it really work? Is it a great opportunity or big scam?
And is it right for you and your health goals?
Let’s find out!

What is Somaderm HGH?
According to the makers of the product, “New U Life’s SOMADERM Gel is the only transdermal, FDA registered product, containing Homeopathic human growth hormone.”
Let’s stop right there.
FDA Approved Vs. FDA Registered
You should know that “FDA registered” is NOT the same as “FDA approved.” (Source)
Almost anyone can “register” a product, but the Food and Drug Administration will only put their stamp of approval on products that are proven to be safe.
Anyhow, you apply the skin cream to the skin (Captain Obvious here), and it goes directly into your bloodstream.
Check out the Somaderm promotional video…
Why the bloodstream?
Isn’t that a little… much?
The makers of the product claim that pills and sprays are ineffective, and injections are invasive and can cause serious side effects.
Hence the cream, and hence the bloodstream.
The idea is that when it hits the blood, it slowly elevates HGH levels in the human body.
For as much as they praise the HGH hormone as “highly-studied and well-documented,” they don’t say what it is, how it works, and why we should care about it.
But don’t worry… that’s what I’m here for.
Who makes Somaderm gel?
We’ll dig into the ingredients in just a bit.
But first, it’s important you learn about the company behind the product, and whether or not they can be trusted.
Welcome to New U Life…
When you first land on the company’s official website, you get the impression that it’s a small outfit, selling just one product: Somaderm.
Alex Goldstein is at the helm of the ship, and from what I can tell, he seems like a decent guy.
But here’s the kicker.
With just a little digging, you learn what it’s really all about.
You see, on their ‘Mission & Vision’ section of the website, I came across this…
Alright, hold the phone!
It says, “We believe that your financial freedom is the byproduct of hard work and loving what you do every day.”
My ‘Financial Freedom’? I thought this was an anti-aging cream?
What’s this talk about making money and hard work?
And just like that, you feel the cold fingers of a multi-level marketing company tugging at your pocketbook or purse.
Welcome to New U Life…
What is New U Life MLM?
It’s just that, a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that you— YES YOU! —can be a part of.
Oh joy.
If you don’t know what an MLM company is, just think Mary Kay, Amway, or Arbonne.
Yeah, it’s one of those.
Does this mean it’s a scam or some pyramid scheme that you should look out for?
Well, we’ll get to that.
But for now it’s important you know the backstory of the company.
NewULife Compensation Plan
Like Most Ponzi Scheme / MLM-type programs, the compensation plans are very difficult to understand.
If you want a thorough explanation of the compensation plans, you should watch this video below:
He does a pretty good job of breaking it all down in an “easy to understand” format.
If you just want the key takeaways about their network marketer compensation plans, here they are:
Retail Commissions
If you sell 1 bottle of Somaderm HGH at a retail cost of $169.99 to retail customers, you make $45 per bottle.
Retail customers are defined as customers that have not signed up for a membership.
Autoship Customers
Autoship customers pay a slightly lower price of $149.99 per bottle of Somaderm Gel.
For each customer that you sign up for the program, you’ll earn a retail commission of $25 per customer per month.
As an example, if you were to recruit and maintain 12 autoship customers in one calendar month, you will earn a total of $300 in retail commissions.
If all of these customers re-order the same quantity every month, you will continue to earn $300 a month in retail commissions.
This is what’s known as a residual commission.
There are several other ways to earn with New U Life, including a recruitment commission, hitting Coach rank, Life Coach rank, Ambassador, and Diamond Ambassadors levels.
Some affiliates earn as much as $6,000 a month with the program as a network marketer.
They even have a car bonus for qualified affiliates.

NewU Pack ($199): 1 bottle of Somaderm, 1 year memebership, replicated website, and access to training.

Let’s dive further into the actual product, because believe me, it’s an eye opener.

What are the ingredients in Somaderm HGH?
Somaderm’s human growth hormone gel contains three active ingredients:
- Glandula Suprarenalis Suis
- Thyroidinum
- and Somatropin
And a whole boatload of inactive ingredients…here’s the label:
Allow me to put some meaning behind all these big words.
The National Drug Codes List says that Glandula Suprarenalis Suis is just a generic name for HGH. Source
Thyroidiumis a thyroid stimulating hormone that is said to help with thyroid problems.One study claims that it has beneficial effects when it comes to weight loss and symptomatic relief. Source
Finally, Somatropin 30Xis yet another name for growth hormone.
It is most often injected into the skin, to “treatgrowth failure in children and adults who lack natural growth hormone.” Source
According to the certified homeopath site Homeowatch.org, the 30X in this homeopathic solution simply means that the original substance has been diluted by 1 followed by 30 0’s. Source
And of course, the makers of the product claim that the ingredients are 100% safe and natural.
So What is Human Growth Hormone (HGH)?
All of these ingredients point to the human growth hormone that, some say, helps to:
- Improve bone and joint health
- Increase muscle
- Reduce body fat
- Improve sleep
- Strengthen the immune system
It’s also used for a wide variety of medical condition, including:
- Turners Syndrome
- Prader-Willi syndrone
- Chronic Kidney disease
- HGH deficiency
- Muscle wasting disease associated with HIV/AIDS(Source)But here’s the thing…
Growth hormones have a long history of abuse, especially in the world of sports.
One only has to recall the golden years of baseball that were marred by excessive doping. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco… these household names became synonymous with “juicing” for top-shelf performance.
While HGH is not a steroid (it’s actually a protein-based hormone that’s made naturally by our pituitary gland), many people use and abuse HGH supplements and injections for similar performance-enhancing reasons.
For instance, Harvard conducted a study on HGH, and the preliminary commentary is pretty telling.
And here’s the irony.
From outside-looking-in, HGH works pretty damn well.
But, upon closer investigation, you’ll find it’s mostly smoke and mirrors.
Athletes who take HG “tryto benefit from the known anabolic action of the drug, to increase their muscle mass and power.” Source
While there is evidence that they do work,have a look at the findings of Harvard’s research on the efficacy of HGH on athletes….
“After receiving daily injections for an average of 20 days, the subjects who received GH increased their lean body mass (which reflects muscle mass but can also include fluid mass) by an average of 4.6 pounds.
That’s a big gain — but it did not translate into improved performance.
In fact, GH did not produce measurable increases in either strength or exercise capacity.
And the subjects who got GH were more likely to retain fluid and experience fatigue than were the volunteers who got the placebo. Source
Not so good.
“Right,” you might say, “…but I’m NOT an athlete, I’m a 69-year-old couch potato looking for a little extra somethin’.”
Well, to that I say…
The Harvard researchers conducted an almost identical study of the effectiveness of HGH on 69-year-old couch potatoes. 😉
And the results? Not.
So.
Good.
Instead of improving things like cholesterol, triglycerides, bone density, blood sugar and insulin levels — the growth hormone recipients “experienced a high rate of side effects.” Source
Which brings me to my next point.
What are the side effects of Somaderm HGH?
According to WebMD, the side effects of HGH might include:
- Nerve, muscle, or joint pain
- Swelling due to fluid in the body’s tissues (edema)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Numbness and tingling of the skin
- High cholesterol levels
- Lowered blood pressure
- Hot flashes
But keep in mind Somaderm HGH is a homeopathic dietary supplement and packs a much lower dose than your typical HGH injection, so if you do experience these side effects, they will likely be minimal.
Nevertheless, from the research I’ve read, HGH has varying results for those who take it.
It should also be noted that if you are suffering from a medical condition like high blood pressure, you should check with your doctor before using Somaderm Gel.
Is it a scam?
Well, it is an MLM company pushing the product.
And we have seen just how ineffective — and perhaps dangerous — HGH can be.
So I’ll let you put two-and-two together.
User reviews
YouTube is filled with “honest reviews” of Somaderm HGH.
But I’ll tell you what… I trust them about as far as I can throw them.
The reviews I found we’re unabashedly made by New U Life members, and they come across as blatant advertisements.
So I won’t even bother sharing them with you.
With that said, I wasn’t able to find any unbiased user reviews of Somaderm HGH.
This, too, is rather telling.
My Personal Results
So my wife and I decided to try a bottle of Somaderm Gel out for one month, and I have to say I’m a little disappointed at the lack of results.
It comes in a pump bottle that stands about 8 inches high, and depending on how often and how much you’re pumping, can last for as long as 2 months.
The directions on the label state that you should apply one full pump in the morning and 1 full pump in the evening.
Since my wife and I were sharing the bottle, we did about a 1/2 pump each twice a day.
I will say this, the gel is pretty easy to apply.
You essentially have to rotate around your body to various spots where there is thin skin with visible veins.
That means spots like under your eyes,under your palms, on your wrists, inner elbow, behind the knees, and even the top of your feet.
I did this 2 times a day on a 5 day on, 2 day off basis, as instructed.
First, the pros…
On the very first night, I had one of the most vivid dreams I had in a long time. As I mentioned in the comments below, I was shaking off a two-day hangover.
So sleep was something I desperately needed…
Were these vivid dreams the result of applying Somaderm?
I don’t know.
Healthline claims that vivid dreams may have something to do with the brain trying to eliminate any unnecessary information or memories, while processing and storing what’s important. (see that article here)
In any event, I was actually a bit excited that I had these vivid dreams because I had read several posts of people who’ve used Somaderm experience the exact same thing.
On the second day, I would say that I felt a bit more energetic.
Maybe it was placebo effects, maybe it was the Somaderm, I just don’t know.
But I could definitely sense something.
Further along in the test, is where things started to fall apart.
I can say with 100% certainty that I did not experience any of the benefits that the people who have used Somaderm claim.
There was no better quality sleep, no decreased body fat, no increase in lean muscle, and no relief from joint pain.
In short, there was virtually nothing.
My 30 day honest assessment shows that it just didn’t work.
With all of that said, I actually DO think the product has some potential.
I mean, there’s 100’s of reviews scattered throughout the internet claiming that it’s changed their life for the better.
In fact, my wife just so happens to be one of those people.
She’s going to be posting her Somaderm review on her blog WomensBlogTalk.com, and as soon as she does I will link to it.
Somaderm FAQ’s
How do I use it?
As I mentioned earlier, the directions on the label state that you should apply one full pump in the morning and 1 full pump in the evening.
You pump the gel onto the thinnest layers of your skin, where you can see your veins.
These areas include:
- Armpits
- Forearms
- Wrists
- Behind the knees
- etc.
Where can I buy it?
You can only purchase Somaderm HGH from the New U Life website:Newulife.com
Because of the MLM business structure, it is not available at physical or online retailers.
How much is it?
You can score a bottle of the stuff for one easy payment of $149.99.
Wait… what?! $149.99 for a bottle of gel?And that’s if you ARE a member of the scam, I mean club.
If you’re not a member, you’ll have to fork over $169.99!
I literally just lost a year off my life from sticker shock alone, thus negating any potential anti-aging benefits from the product One step forward, two steps back.
Damn.
This is starting to sound like one of those pyramid schemes…
Up to this point, I tried my best to give Somaderm HGH the benefit of the doubt.
But this ridiculous price tag is the nail in the coffin.
Is there a guarantee?
Nope.
As far as I can tell, Somaderm HGH does not come with any guarantee.
The whole ‘risk vs. reward’ scale is definitely weighing heavy on the ‘risk’ end.
Nuh uh.In other words, I will NOT jump at the chance to pay $160 for a bottle of gel that a) I’m not sure even works, b) Has done nothing to earn my trust (no testimonials, reviews, etc.) and c) Doesn’t come with a money-back guarantee.
No way, Jose.
Bottom Line
After finally having tested Somaderm Gel out, I’m still a bit on the fence.
I can tell you this, I’ve personally used real hgh in the past, and it didn’t even come close.
There’s plenty of people who sell the product trying to call B.S. on my review. (see the comments below)
What can I say?
I gave it a fair shake, and it didn’t work for me.
What do you want me to say? That it did? That it works like real human growth hormone gel?
Well, I’m not gonna do that, not for this or any other homeopathic product.
I have somewhat of a reputation to uphold, and if you’ve read any of my other reviews, I do one thing and one thing only:
Tell it like it is.
I could just as easily lie to my readers and say it’s the best thing since sliced bread, and earn a commission on selling the product.
I can’t in good faith put myself in the corner of a product that just did not do the trick for me personally and still sleep well at night.
My visitors rely on me providing my HONEST assessment of a products worth, and no commission is worth that trust.
Again, that’s just not how I roll.
Personally speaking, I actually DO think that Somaderm Gel works for a vast swath of people.
Based on the reviews I’ve read, it may certainly help with weight loss, reduced body fat, and possibly even increase hgh levels.
However, like with any supplement, there will be a certain percentage of the population that are “non-responders”.
I’m 37 years old, and the vast majority of the other reviews I’ve read seem to be posted by men and women in their 40’s and older.
THESE are the people that it seems to work for, not necessarily a younger generation.

Have you used this supplement?
It is working for me, I am not a consultant
In Short: I would recommend this to a friend.
I am a 45 year old stay at home Mom that was in fantastic shape "back in the day". Let's just say I have drank too much wine and ate too much pizza instead of going to the gym.
A friend of mine told me about Somaderm (she is a distributor), so I decided to give it a try. In addition to this, I also began watching what I was eating a little more and occasionally dragging myself to the YMCA. That was 6 weeks ago.
I have lost 16 lbs (I credit that mainly to my diet and cutting out wine). What I have noticed is 2 changes that I credit to my gel. I was suffering from the dreaded thin eyebrows, and they are noticeably thicker. I am super pumped about that! I don't have to pencil them in anymore and I have not plucked any different at all.
I guess the best and biggest change that I can not tie to my diet, is the fact that my sex drive has totally increased. Not to give anything real graphic, but my husband says the size of my cl*t has noticeably increased. I orgasm easier and actually feel like I am in the mood again! Hubs even offered to buy my next bottle. We are not rich by any means and 169.00 plus shipping is a lot of money for us.
I thought I was sleeping better at first, but don't think that is one of the benefits I am going to get. But hey, different things work for different people.
Just my 2 cents, definitely worth give it a shot!

My reason for trying was fibromyalgia diagnosis/symptoms
Soma derm alleviates flare ups and muscle stiffness in a huge way. Love it.
Not big on purchasing from the company though.
I usually find a few bottles for sale on ebay for a reduced price and I’m very happy with that. I’ve found that I can vary my dosage and still get the benefits while stretching the bottle to 3-4 months of use.
I’ve never found any other product that helps me as much.
Very thankful
Even those disappeared after some time. I just felt like I was throwing away my money.
All of the people I had talked into buying eventually quit as well with the same results. I am not saying that there are not those that benefit, what I am saying is I did not see the benefits, and I do not know anyone that I trust (not someone in my upline) that had.
Additionally, they added other products as well as the I also did not get any benefits.
They prey on people who are looking for that “magic bullet”. That “magical miracle potion” which gives miraculous benefits without out doing anything.
They won’t do what it really takes to achieve optimal health…Most people who fall for this scam have ot all wrong. All wrong when it comes to supplements, nutrition, training and especially hormones.
If you even had a basic knowledge of hgh or hormones in general you would clearly see the deception from NUL and Goldstein…All they have is testimonials from a bunch of distributors looking to get rich quick of a deceptive mlm….Take the mlm out of SOMADERM and sales go to ZERO overnight just like Goldstein’s sales when he marketed this garbage under strike first nutrition and even prior to that…Testimonials are bunk. Testimonials are “the worst form of evidence that you could possibly bring forth."Q
It is safe to say that the people making these claims are typically those who are scientifically illiterate.
They don’t offer up the clinical trials that measure the efficacy of the products. The company itself never put together large-scale clinical trails to prove their products are safe and effective.
They rely on the “worst form of evidence”, TESTIMONIES, because putting the scientific process in place would expose the products as ineffective.
What kind of scam are you running?? What is your agenda?? Personally, I think you are full of yourself, and crap. You must take great pleasure in reading the crap you write, while many of us derive great pleasure from the benefits of Somaderm.
I will take even more pleasure knowing that you are not likely to enjoy its benefits.
Recently, the agency announced an initiative to increase regulation of dietary supplements, reacting to what it describes as “the growth in the number of adulterated and misbranded products” on the market. At the same time, the agency was careful to say that “most players in this industry act responsibly."Q Adding bite to its bark, the FDA took action the same day it made this statement, issuing 12 warning letters and five online advisory letters to offending companies.
The enforcement effort specifically targeted dietary supplements that make unlawful drug claims related to treating Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
The issue is clearly of importance to the federal government, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) joined the FDA in three of these warning letters. For example, the agencies sent a joint warning letter to Gold Crown Natural Products concerning claims made in relation to its supplements, including this one: “Many experiments have been conducted on this and it is proven that melatonin supplements are used to cure Alzheimer’s disease."Q The FDA was primarily concerned with this and other companies making disease claims when they don’t have the necessary prior approval from the agency to do so.
Such claims make the product an illegal drug. Similarly, the FTC warned that competent and reliable scientific evidence supported by well-controlled human clinical studies is necessary for advertisements that a product can treat a disease.
These letters are part of an ongoing effort by both agencies to target deceptive claims aimed at an increasingly aging population.
Ultimately, this increased scrutiny from the FDA and FTC could be beneficial to the dietary supplements industry. If supplements making unsubstantiated claims are weeded out by a visibly active FDA, then the consuming public will have more faith in the products on the market.
In the short term, however, supplement makers need to check that their products are compliant with relevant law, particularly with respect to any drug claims.
In its statement, the FDA also announced five additional steps:
The agency will implement a “new rapid-response tool” that will alert both the public and industry to the agency’s concerns that an ingredient is unlawful.
The agency will update the process for its new dietary ingredient (NDI) notifications.
In its statement, the FDA noted that this is its only opportunity to evaluate new ingredients before a product reaches consumers, and to aid that effort it will be revising its compliance policy for NDIs. The agency will accept feedback on this issue in a public meeting, the details of which are not yet available.
The agency will seek to partner with industry on important issues and has announced the creation of the Botanical Safety Consortium, a public-private partnership focusing on botanical ingredients and their use in dietary supplements.
The agency will continue to take enforcement action.
The statement specifically notes that supplements with unlawful ingredients, such as drug ingredients, are a point of emphasis.
The agency will publicly engage with stakeholders on how to “modernize” the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.
Dietary supplement exclusivity and a mandatory product listing requirement are specifically referenced.
The FDA’s statement noted that there will be more changes coming, on which we will keep you informed.
It remains to be seen, however, whether the recent resignation of Commissioner Gottlieb will slow down any of these initiatives. For now, it’s important to note that both the FDA and the FTC are signaling that they intend to be significantly more active in regulating dietary supplements, particularly with respect to drug claims.

Position Statement from the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists regarding Homeopathic Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
The appearance in natural foods stores and mass markets outlets of products that are labeled as “Homeopathic Human Growth Hormone (HGH)” have prompted the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists (AAHP) to offer the following guidance on the topic:
1. The substance called Homeopathic Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is not an official homeopathic drug, as it is not included in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
As such, there are no identity or quality standards for starting material, nor standardized processes for the manufacture of a homeopathic dosage form. Therefor, there are no official safety levels (OTC, Rx, HPN) for “HGH” determined by independent review.
2. Homeopathic provings for “HGH” do not appear in the medical literature; consequently, clinical use of the substance does not have broad agreement among homeopathic experts.
3. The distribution of “HGH” (1) without a prescription and (2) which does not have an approved new drug application under Section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act is a felony.
It’s a FELONY if there were any HGH in it. In fact #3 above goes on:
Section 303 (f) (1) of the FD&C Act provides that:
a.(f) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), whoever knowingly distributes, or possesses with intent to distribute human growth hormone for any use in humans other than the treatment of a disease or other recognized medical condition, where such use has been authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 505 and pursuant to the order of a physician, is guilty of an offense punishable by not more than 5 years in prison, such fines as are authorized by title 18, or both.
b. Whoever commits any offense set forth in paragraph (1) and such offense involves an individual under 18 years of age is punishable by not more than 10 years imprisonment, such fines as are authorized by title 18, or both.
c. Any conviction for a violation of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection shall be considered a felony violation of the Controlled Substances Act for the purposes of forfeiture under section 413 of such Act.
d. As used in this subsection, the term “human growth hormone” means somatrem, somatropin, or an analogue of either of them.
e. The Drug Enforcement Administration is authorized to investigate offenses punishable by this subsection.
The AAHP urges any individual with an interest in the substance to contact the Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration, or their regulatory counsel for further information or clarification.
The entire theoretical basis of homeopathy—the concepts that “like treats like” and that increasingly diluting an alleged active ingredient to untraceably small concentrations while periodically shaking the solution actually increases its potency—is laughable, and no credible research has shown it to have any validity.
Yet millions upon millions of dollars are spent each year by the American public on this snake oil. Frustrating as that may be, we at the Center for Inquiry (CFI) believe that is an adult’s right.
If they want to waste their money on such nonsense, they may do so, just as they may buy “healing” crystals or visit a reiki practitioner. However, there are important caveats.
We have extreme misgivings about parents eschewing science-based medicine and “treating” their children homeopathically. The denial of real medicine to those who have no say in their treatment leads to short term pain and suffering and often long term negative consequences up to and including preventable death.
We also believe that if adults are purchasing such products, they should be provided with true information about what they are spending money on. Homeopathic products should not be marketed in a deceptive manner.
The regulation of over the counter (OTC) drugs in the United States is shared by two main government agencies: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The FDA oversees what products may be offered for sale in this manner, and the FTC regulates how these products may be marketed. Both agencies have, in recent years, undertaken a review of their regulation of OTC homeopathic products, and CFI has contributed testimony to both.
The FDA, in response to an inquiry from CFI, noted that it will announce its regulatory regime later this year.
The FTC, however, in November 2016, issued an Enforcement Policy Statement(EPS) detailing a change in its approach to the regulation of OTC homeopathic products. Noting that the Federal Trade Act “does not exempt homeopathic products from the general requirement that objective product claims be truthful and substantiated,” it continued to state that “the promotion of an OTC homeopathic product for an indication that is not substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence may not be deceptive if that promotion effectively communicates to customers that: (1) There is no scientific evidence that the product works and (2) the product’s claims are based only on theories of homeopathy from the 1700s that are not accepted by most medical experts."Q The EPS also acknowledged that “for the vast majority of OTC homeopathic drugs … there are no valid studies using current scientific methods showing the product’s efficacy."Q

Statistical analysis
The results are expressed as means ± SDunless otherwise noted.
Differences between groups were evaluated by ANOVA using the computer software StatLight (Yukms Corp., Tokyo, Japan), with P < 0.05 taken to indicate significance.
Results
Physiological 24-h secretion profiles of serum 20K- and 22K-hGH
In the 20-22K-hGH-treated groups (Fig. 1, B-E), serum 20-22K-hGH levels increased within 30 min after injection, reached a peak between 2 and 6 h, and decreased by the end of the sampling period. In contrast, the spontaneous 22K-hGH surges were suppressed after a delay of a few hours after injection, especially at higher doses.
Materials
Recombinant 22K-hGH (Lot DB9805) (9) was prepared for clinical use at a concentration of 2 mg/mL in sodium phosphate solution
We have demonstrated the time course of the suppressive effect induced by exogenous r-hGH on endogenous hGH secretion in humans.
The marked suppression of endogenous 22K-hGH secretion occurred in parallel with the FFA elevation; serum FFA levels increased with maximum levels at 4–8 h and recovered by 24 h after 20-22K-hGH administration.
In contrast, serum IGF-I levels increased after 8 h and were prolonged up to 24 h or more, and no increase in circulating glucose levels was observed for 24 h. Our data are consistent with those of Rosenthal et al. (34), who found that 6-h methionyl 22K-hGH infusion raised plasma FFA levels but not IGF-I or glucose levels and blunted GHRH-induced GH secretion in normal men. Of the main hGH-dependent substances, elevation of FFA rather than IGF-I levels may play a leading role at least in the marked 22K-hGH suppression at AUC6–12 h after a single sc administration of 20-22K-hGH.
The suppression of 22K-hGH secretion was observed even at the lowest dose of 20K-22k-hGH administered (0.01 mg/kg), with a Cmax of 8.1 ± 4.1 ng/mL.
Molecules as large as hGH cannot be absorbed into the body across skin or mucous membranes. Even insulin, a molecule only half the size of hGH, and of similar type and construction, cannot be absorbed in this manner.
Limitations of chemical permeation enhancers
4.1. Efficacy
An important limitation of chemical enhancers is that most of the enhancers that have been studied in the transdermal literature for their ability to increase transport across skin do not achieve the desired skin disruption [81]. They show poor permeation across the stratum corneum themselves and hence their activity is limited to the top few layers of the stratum corneum. As their concentration across the stratum corneum decreases, so do their activities. As a result, these chemicals offer poor transdermal delivery of candidate drug molecules.
There is ongoing research as to transdermal delivery of hgh…what has to happen is there needs to be a delivery system to open the pores of the skin and create a pathway or gateway if you will for the large delicate hgh molecule to penetrate the pores of the skin…methods being tested are as follows:
1) Microneedle
2) Radio frequency
3) Laser
4) U-Strip (Newer technology being tested)
Currently about 20 drugs have been FDA-approved for transdermal administration sharing several characteristics such as low molecular weight, lipophilicity, and relatively low-dose administration requirements. Several other drugs have been tested but never made it to the market.
Indeed, despite encouraging results on using transdermal timolol ointments to treat increased pressure inside the eye or captopril incorporated patches, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, none of these patches has received clinical and consequently regulatory acceptance. In the case of captopril, the physicochemical properties were not favorable for transdermal delivery as the drug was associated with severe skin irritation (Helal and Lane, 2014). The other limitation of such passive transdermal patches was encountered with macromolecular therapeutics such as insulin and other proteins. Indeed, none of these therapeutics has been made it to a marketable transdermal patch yet.
So unless you are shipping lasers with your product it cant possibly deliver HGH into the BLOODSTREAM transdermally

On second thought, I suppose that it’s not exactly nothing. It is, after all, water or whatever other diluent that homeopaths use (usually ethanol).
However, thanks to some basic laws of physics and chemistry and a little thing known as Avagadro’s number, any homeopathic dilution greater than 12C (twelve serial 100-fold dilutions) is incredibly unlikely to contain even a single molecule of starting compound. That unlikeliness reaches truly astonishing levels as we reach the common homeopathic dilution of 30C, which is the equivalent of a 1060-fold dilution.
Given that that little thing known as Avagadro’s number, which describes how many molecules of a compound are in a mole, is only approximately 6 x 1023, a 30C dilution is on the order of 1036– to 1037-fold higher than Avagadro’s number. Even assuming that a homeopath started with a mole of remedy before diluting (unlikely, given the high molecular weight of most of the organic compounds that can serve as homeopathic remedies), the odds that a single molecule could remain behind after the serial dilution and succussion process is infinitesimal.
Appropriately enough, the “law” in homeopathy that states that diluting a remedy will make it stronger is the law of infinitesimals.
It is also the reason that homeopathy is nothing.
Homeopaths have known these facts for many decades. Anyone who is any sort of a scientist or has an understanding of science, when confronted with these simple, well-established physical laws, might—just might—start to rethink his belief in something that is so utterly implausible from a scientific standpoint.
Indeed, homeopathy is about as close to impossible as anything I can imagine, because for it to “work” multiple well-established laws of physics and chemistry would have to be not just wrong, but spectacularly wrong.
Homeopaths bravely paddle up the river of pseudoscience and invent explanations to “explain” how homeopathy could work, the most famous of which is the so-called “memory of water,” in which the water in the homeopathic remedy remembers all the good bits meant to heal but, as Tim Minchin so famously put it, somehow forgets all the poo that’s been in it. Homeopathy is truly magical thinking, which is why I love to use it as an illustrative example of quackery.
Not only is it magical thinking, but because it is nothing but water, it’s a very useful educational example for placebo effects and the general types of fallacious arguments quacks and pseudoscientists make.
I really hope that you impress yourself and your ego.
You make all kinds of claims and assert that just about everybody but you is a fraud. I think it may be the other way around.
I, and hundreds of thousands like me will continue using Somaderm and enjoy the benefits it provides, while you continue your blathering rants.
I was quite skeptical until I saw my wife’s results, and even skeptical when I started, but REAL LIFE RESULTS contradict your claims.
In my world, your rantings are totally irrelevant. You must be a very insecure and negative person.
It’s like he has his own agenda. Also, they say to be on it for at least 6 months. 1/2 dosing for a month will not give you results.
Love the benefits from the gel. With increased LIBIDO, mental clarity, energy, RA symptoms and chronic fatigue relieved.
Eye lashes full and thick. Decreased the amount of daily meds.

A scientist? Have you tried the product?
My Hormone doctor not only looked over the Somaderm ingredients, she is very interested in using it and possibly referring it to her patients based on positive result reports from myself and a few of her other patients. So, I am really curious what type of expert you are and how long have you been personally using Somaderm?
NUL’s SOMADERM pitch is “real hgh”, the only real hgh available without a prescription….and so the deception starts….how so?
Let’s look at that….
1) There is ZERO HGH in “one pump” of SOMADERM….NONE…
2) There is ZERO HGH in a 3.5 ounce bottle of SOMADERM…NONE
3) There never has been, there is NOT now and there NEVER will be ANY HGH in any bottles of SOMADERM….
4) If you took EVERY bottle of SOMADERM ever manufactured, being manufactured or will be manufactured and dumped them all into a giant bottle, you would have EXACTLY ZERO HGH….if you took every bottle of this gel when it was marketed under Strike first nutrition…and added it to all the SOMADERM bottles you would have Exactly…….ZERO HGH, NONE…if you took every bottle of this gel, from SOMADERM to strike first nutrition all the way back over the past 14 years and COMBINED them all together you would have…..drum roll please ZERO HGH….NONE, not a molecule, not a microdose, NONE, ZERO…..and that’s the cold hard truth behind ALEXY’s scam…How do I know, the label says so “30x” really? See dilution chart and read 26x…then imagine diluting 4x past that, beyond Avagadro’s number………also HGH is a schedule III prescription pharmacuetical…If there was ANY HGH IN THIS OR ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS, NOW, THEN OR IN THE FUTURE…the DEA would raid Alexy’s office, arrest him, shut him down and charge him with felony distribution under the anabolic steroid act…..PERIOD…does anyone not understand this?
Do you see the scam? Do you see the BLANTANT deception promoted by a fraud and a liar?
I would like your help with something. Intellectually, there is absolutely no argument for your position and my own education will not allow me to understand this product.
I want to share my dilemma, as by definition of scam, there may not be an argument. But, this product works.
I am seeing it with my own eyes (by the way, I no longer need glasses after 26 years of wearing them). I have documented lab studies with unexplained improvements, specific to my own household.
My husband just got his cholesterol numbers (which were pretty crazy scary and have been all his life). He has chosen to never go on statin drugs which have been highly encouraged and has battled those numbers for at least the 20 years that I have known him.) We have done nothing different in the house but use the gel.
Those numbers have dropped significantly over the past 5 months. Crazy huh?
I have some pretty serious bone issues. Last August, I was almost crippled due to one fracture that was in my back for 2 years and a brand new one that made it physically impossible for me to function well.
I started using the gel in September. By early October, I was back on my mountain bike and since then have completed two endurance challenges of 50 miles each.
I am 66. About 3 weeks ago, I hit the ground at a cycling speed of 11.6. Came home bruised and bloody but not broken. According to my last bone density scores, that should have crushed me, like shatter my whole right side.
I cannot retest those scores until August but suspect that they will change and the news will be encouraging. And, did you catch the part where I said I no longer need my glasses to read?
What’s up with that?
We have a personal friend that has been using the gel for about 5 months.
He got his labs retested for testosterone levels which increased significantly. He says his athletic performance has increased noticeably.
By the way, none of us have done much significantly different other than use the gel. Now, I realize that these are only 3 examples but there are thousands of people on FB sharing similar experiences.
Lab tests are starting to come in and there are changes, positive ones.
So, my question to you is this and trust me when I say, I am not at all intending to dispute what you have said but, please tell me, why is this stuff working?
Are we all sheep being led to slaughter? Can the placebo effect change lab results?
I want to leave my comments with letting you know that I have some concerns about the product, which include your claim. I am doing my homework to the best of my ability.
In the meantime, I will continue to use the gel, not to get rich but to certainly be as healthy as I possibly can.
Laboratory right now. We are conducting a series of tests.
First set will be done in a few days. I was speaking to the head lab technician today.
He said the dilutions of “30x” are so extreme anyone who thinks they are taking “hgh” is delusional. He went over the math of “30x” dilution with me.
It was so astronomical it was hard to follow. The molecular weight of hgh is 848.95 grams per “mole”.
So dividing the weight by avagadro’s number to get the weight per “mole’. Its 1 part diluted by 1 to the negative 29th part.
Arsenic is safe at that level. It a “nonnillion” dilution….remember these numbers are mathematical…science…not “fantasy world where leprechauns and unicorns dance around together”….I will have testing results soon that prove this “gel” is nothing more the water with toxic preservatives and thickeners in it…..keep kidding yourself…What is homeopathic HGH and is there any benefit in taking it?
Recently there is much buzz around the “FDA Registered” New ULife Homeopathic HGH” Upon hearing those words, one would almost assume that this is an incredible breakthrough recognized by the FDA. However, lets examine the meaning of this statement and cut through the hype to what it really means.
First; what is homeopathy and can you really have a homeopathic hormone?
Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, believed that by using small amounts of similar symptom inducing substances, one could help the body address those symptoms quicker and thus heal faster.
For example, if you had a runny nose and itchy eyes like from an allergy, ingesting small dilutions of an onion would cause the symptom to worsen and thus activate your body into healing faster. The method Samuel created for diluting natural substances was called succussion.
In his method, a 1C succussion was 1:100 times diluted. Meaning 1 part active molecule to 100 parts water or alcohol.
Later on, as disagreements among homeopathic believers increased, different succussion or dilution methods were created. The most common today is the “X” dilution, which is called the decimal scale.
New ULife homeopathic HGH uses the decimal scale and states that it contains Somatropin 30X.
This means that whatever quantity they started with (which is not disclosed by the way) is now so diluted that no molecules remain of the actual ingredient*. The claim then that the product contains somatropin by any standard of the FDA or FTC would be considered false advertising since the ingredient is not found in the product.
Please see the dilution scale below. Please note the 26X and the 60X dilution comment.
As you can see, a 30X dilution statement on the label is theoretically impossible and absolutely absurd.
Even at a 24X, only 60% of the products sold by the company MIGHT contain one molecule of actual somatropin.
Second; The label on the actual product contains an FDA disclaimer “This product has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or PREVENT any disease” The company then goes on to claim all the benefits one can achieve by taking HGH (which we have proven is not actually in the product at all). It then states on its product description that is it the only transdermal product containing “A synthetic USP human growth hormone (somatropin)” without a prescription.
Obviously you do not need a prescription if there is no active ingredient that requires one on the formula. This claim is perhaps the most deceptive marketing format ever used in the history of advertising.
It would be the same as Coca Cola corporation saying that their formula contains super diluted, untraceable amounts of cocaine and is the only soda pop you can drink without getting arrested for drug possession.
Third; An NDC code is a code given for a product that has been manufactured by an FDA registered facility. This does not mean the product is inspected in any way other than the standard manufacturing processes of that facility.
In other words, if an FDA approved facility was manufacturing bottled “salt water” then an NDC code would need to be applied for since sodium and water are combined together to create a product within that facility. It is in no way a means of stating quality or approval by the FDA. Again, another blatant marketing play on wording for the consumer who does not have the same knowledge as the corporate owner.
Lastly; As with any other outrageously illegal marketing schemes, the cost to the consumer is absurd.
After pricing out a similar formula with all of the minutely small amount of actives and the common, cheap inactive ingredients, a team of manufactures were able to create and price this product out for $1.85/bottle when producing 10,000 bottles. We assume New ULife is producing this product at greater quantity and thus at a much less price.
When it boils down to anything, simply follow the money trail. This is a fly-by-night product created to make huge amounts of quick profit so that the owner can retire in a non-extradition country as soon as the FDA catches up to him.
Thank you for taking so much time with efforts to educate. You are obviously a professional, may I ask you where your qualifications come from?
I am a somewhat educated consumer, understand that HGH molecules are too big to penetrate the skin, understand that the molecule itself is highly volatile therefore, preservation methods are of definite concern (somewhere in your explanation you used the term, toxic. I am encouraged that there seems to be scientific research being done on the gel.
I have climbed the company ladder requesting white paper but it isnt forthcoming which is another puzzle. Add that to not being able to uncover any known side effects (which we know all things that alter the natural path of the body comes with side effects of some sort) only leaves me with more questions.
I totally get what you are saying and have no desire to defend or argue in behalf of the product. However, my burning desire is to understand what is happening to me, what happened to my husband and my friends that are using the gel.
I sincerely convey that I am not making the experiences up. Please explain why I have had visual changes after 26 years, why my bones did not break after a brutal impact (when I fractured in August, I was doing a non impact yoga pose) and why lab results are improving?
As much as I hate the thought of attempted deceit, the physiological changes are real. Why is that?
Will it be possible to get your testing results on the product? It wont change my desire to get answers to my questions but I am not one to make claims.
When I share information about the gel, I am honest about the questions I have about the product. However, I would like to know why it is working and trust me, you have convincing to do to change my mind about that.
To clarify- I told you that I am 66 so I do not expect to feel like I am 20. My eyesight is not perfect but I am fine without glasses.
My bones are complicated, I have severe osteoporosis, have chosen not to take pharmaceutical options due to the side effects and yes, my decision not to do so is thoroughly educated. In August, my pain level rocked at 30 on a scale of 1-10.
I function now at around a 6 or 7 and have to pay quite a bit of attention to keep it under control. However, all in all, the changes have been incredibly amazing.
One may ask, where would things be if the gel was not part of care. Bone wise, I cannot answer that but what about my eyes or the other direct effects that have been pretty damn positive?
I am a pretty logical person. If you have any explanations for these improvements, I look forward to hearing them.
She just laughed and said yes, that is a reported side effect. I am absolutely amazed at this “side effect”.
It’s given me my self confidence back and made my relationship that was falling apart skyrocket. I guess in a way you could say it’s given me my life back.
I thought I was doomed and was very depressed about my lack of libido. It had been 5 years since I thought of sex as something other than an act I had to endure to keep my relationship.
Now I’m the one instigating it and my poor boyfriend is wondering what the heck happened! For this reason alone I am happy I found this product.
1. the first ingredient on the list “Homeopathic HGH 30x”. Let’s break that down.
First of all the power of marketing applies right here, peeps hear homeopathic and they think “oh it’s good for me!", not so much! Homeopathic’s say “like cures like” so that would mean if there really was HGH in this then you are taking HGH to cure your HGH, yes that makes sense!
BUT the homeopathic dilution chart says at 26x all the original molecules are gone and this is 30x so that makes it water, whoot water bottles for everyone at $170 a pop! The next red flag is the HGH is illegal so what doctor wrote a prescription for tons and tons of HGH?
I want to meet that doctor! Oh I could go down every single ingredient and debunk it.
I won’t even start with phenoxyethanol, that’s anti-freeze and these idiots are putting anti-freeze on themselves and calling it a health and wellness product… the stupidity is painful!
But, I will not have documented lab tests to prove what is happening. However, I am watching various lab tests coming in from people I personally know and things that I am seeing in our groups, with people that have significantly changed lab tests.
What you are saying could be completely true but it appears that the product has changed many lives, mine included. One real thing for me, and I need no tests for proof, is that for 26 years, I needed glasses to be able to read even one word.
I have not worn my glasses for a few months now and see rather well.
Is the gel a joke?
With that said I had major body pains for over the past 6 yrs, Im talking everyday,, within 3 week for me all my pain left, I will use this product , even if they double the price, I believe it works, its not a placidbo effect when you have body pain and its gone and never came back,, along with better sleep and more energy. This was a gift from GOD for me… I don’t know if it will work for you, but it did for me,, I am not a distributor , I am just a customer.
We have a friend that “had” it for years, but it nearly disappeared within weeks of starting on Somaderm. When I told the gal that introduced us to it, about the fibromyalgia that went away, she said that she knew of another identical case.
Glad to hear it’s going well for you.
I’ll be 81 in June, and spent most of yesterday cutting down and cutting up some oak trees. It was good exercise after a long winter.
I’ve been on Somaderm for about 7 months, and yes, I’m a distributor, but we’re not in it for the money. In my conversations about it, I tell people that I don’t care where they buy it.
We look at it as spreading the “Health”. It is quite rejuvenating.
I’m giving it some months as some relief is good for me. Sleep is so improved, I’m just about off melatonin. And my spirits are more positive.
So a bottle last me forever. Which is good because it’s expensive.
But if it works, I’m good with. I don’t promote MLM at all. Im not a member. I have an inside source that gives me a deal better than list price.
If it wasn’t for that I’d still be suffering. My thought is I found something that works for me.
I tell anyone to try it for 30 days. But I wouldn’t continue with zero results.
I’ve never had any side effects or vivid dreams. Im now taking 2 wks off to see if they come back.
Always testing products.
I would be very interested in knowing what happens after you stop using the gel and how long it takes for you to see similar symptoms. I am not a doctor and have only a basic understanding but logically, when you stop hormone therapy, you go back to square one.
If our body stops producing something, you just dont get that back. What you get is relief by using something that replaces what is missing.
I dont think that it actually fixes us, just fixes what is wrong because of what we are missing. I hope you will take the time to share what happens next and thank you in advance.
Just checking in to see what kind of progress has been made regarding the gel. I am rocking half way between month 3 and 4 and have more updates on what the gel has done for me.
The lastest is I ditched my glasses unless I am doing extensive reading. I see fine now without my glasses.
I also went back and read your review of the product. Me thinks the expectations were far greater than the ability of the product.
Although people experience the benefits you checked off your list, they dont happen within the first month. Yes, the sleep thing is the first noticeable change in the shortest amount of time, as well as increased energy but all the rest take more time.
However, I believe that some of the comments here have been rather brutal on you and you were objective enough to give it a try, even though, in my opinion, not enough of try. Kudos for the effort.
And, not all things work for all people, we know that, so you may be one of those. I do want to remind you that there was a promise of a testimony from your wife.
Did I miss that?
I will leave my comments with this.
Since our last interaction, I have spent a great deal of time understanding everything there is available about this product, because, I am one of those that have been affected positively by the gel. As a matter of fact, it has helped me regain my life.
I agree that dosing is very confusing but it stems from being a society that functions by specific direction and not understanding homeopathic dosing, which is really kind of personal. But, again, the people that make a commitment to distribute the product, should make a commitment to educate themselves first before handing out instructions.
There are resources for us, literature, doctor interviews and even instructions from Lexy Goldstein on proper dosing, along with a fair amount of education regarding the science of the product. The most interesting thing I have found about the product is that it was formulated by Lexy Goldstein and members of the Gracie family to help increase athletic performance without disqualifying the athletic, ie: MMA fighters.
As I enter into my 4th month, I am now enjoying increased athletic performance, better muscle endurance and increased muscle strength. It is totally fun.
Please ask your wife to post her story and Happy New Year to you both.
Sorry for the late reply. Yeah Rachel was planning on posting her results here, but we’ve just been sidetracked with the holidays.
We should have something posted within the next few weeks, will update the review up top.
The language of marketing can convince you that ‘this or that’ product is the one for you. It IS very confusing.
I agree, it’s hard to know what / who to believe. I can only speak to the supplements I’ve personally tested, Somaderm being one of them. The others (like HyperGH 14X and HGH ELite) worked GREAT for me, which is why I recommend them.
As for Somaderm, I really do believe that it works for an older demographic. Supplements like HyperGH 14x are formulated for guys looking to get lean and mean, while Somaderm seems like it’s intended to help with your overall well-being.
Could you tell me what that is?
I’ve only tried it once, and didn’t really notice any effects. My wife, on the other hand, uses it almost daily. She claims it helps her sleep better and reduce pain. Just goes to show you how supplements can affect different people dramatically.
I never had those tests done, but maybe one of their reps can chime in on this.
I’m a Functional Medicine doctor and this product could fit in well with what I do in my office.
If you guys both agree I can share your emails with one another, just let me know here in the comments.
I just sent you an email using your email form.
I am of the understanding that nothing will show up in blood levels as the gel is homeopathic. It will however show up in saliva testing.
My doc has recently integrated the gel in his practice and will be doing some studies of his own. I am sure he will share them with me and of course I will share them with anyone interested
I have heard that he has a top earner from her s company that went to ours. His reply: Hi Mary.
No, the company mentioned at the conference isn’t the company you messaged me about. I also don’t recall saying in my video that the company mentioned at the conference sells “HGH Transdermal Homeopathic Gel” so that may be why you’re confused.
I’m an expert on side businesses and flex-jobs.
Many people may know that I am the co-founder and founding CEO of two direct selling companies. But you may not know that I completed a double major and I earned my MBA from Indiana University.
You may not know that I over 20 years of large business experience that ranges from Marketing to Finance to Strategy and Technology. You may not know that I have started, owned or founded a utility company, consumer warranty companies, direct selling companies, restaurants, various franchises, and companies that market on Amazon.
You may not know that three of businesses I have started, managed or founded have gone on to achieve billions in annual sales.
Because of my years of working with the FDA and FTC in my various roles and in my role as an expert on side businesses and flex-jobs I’ve become expert on being complaint with regulatory affairs.
Could you give us an update on how you feel the gel is working for you.
Thank you
-JD
It’s as much a scam as that joker with his you tube comments that allege he went to a meeting with FDA and FTC officials but will not and cannot document such a meeting ever occurred.
I know nearly 30 people that have been using Somaderm for anywhere from one to six months, and continue to reorder. I’d love to be able to buy stock in the company.
Because I used it and it didn’t do anything for me? What do you want me to say?
That it works? All over this review I pointed out the fact that it seems to work for some, and doesn’t for others.
This is essentially true for ANY supplement I’ve ever tested, and I’ve tested close to 200 personally.
Thanks for taking the time to give your experience with Somaderm. There are a number of biological reasons why people might not experience any results with the product, ranging from age to interfering factors or other reasons that people have certain conditions.
The product should work for most people if there are no other underlying reasons preventing it from happening. Also, if we classify this as a supplement, it is just like any other product.
A supplement will not be as effective if the supplement is not appropriate for the deficiency. If you are lucky enough not to need a boost in your HGH, chances are it will not effect you.
We can argue until the cows come home on whether or not it works. For those of us that know it works for us, we are grateful to have it available.
For those that it doesnt work for, well, it just doesnt work. End of story but it doesnt make the product good or bad.
Thank you for being more open to that as you are singing a different tune than when you first started out. I am interested in reading about your wife’s experience.
I am in week 6 and experiencing all of the benefits stated I should experience in the first 2 months including deep sleep every night, vivid dreams every night, better focus, more energy, better mental outlook, lost 1 and half pounds over the holidays, mu hair is fuller and healthier, my nails are longer and stronger. To “test”
A product using only half the dose, in only 30 days, then proclaim it does work is highly misleading and a disservice to readers.
Based on the reviews I’ve read, it may certainly help with weight loss, reduced body fat, and possibly even increase hgh levels."
BTW, several Somaderm reps specifically recommended taking a half dose for the first month.
I was just following directions…
I am 6 week in and I am experiencing amazing results so far!
https://youtu.be/Lthy36onVDI
The company (like all health and wellness companies) is doing their best from the top down to stay compliant….we do not “cure diagnose or treat anything” we make no claims. This product “may” improve these conditions.
We all know to say FDA registered and that just means that the ingredients go through an FDA approved facility. Also, we make no income claims ….there is always the disclaimer that income is based on the work of the individual….. period.
So ……I don’t know who this guy is or why he has a beef but nothing he says holds any weight.
Regardless of what anybody says, put them in the secret group on FB where there are now over 273K people on it with all kinds of great experiences with the gel. They all cant be liars.
No matter what, there will be people that try to ruin any good thing. For those of us that know better, we understand that they are talking garbage.
All are reordering it because of their happiness with the results. I even know some that say it’s changed their restless leg and fibromyalgia issues.
If it was ineffective, why does nearly everyone reorder it???
Often they are subtle and incremental. Of course, young folks, like under 40, don’t benefit as much as those over 50.
I suggest that you finish the bottle. When the pump stops, there is still plenty inside that you can get out by turning it upside down in a small dish/bowl and then scrape it out with a thin utensil.
However, your picture suggests that you may be a bit on the young side to reap significant benefits from it. I’m 80, and my wife is nearly 62, if that helps put it in perspective.
Good luck and good health to you.
The deal was if we even felt it working slightly that we would “load up” on the stuff.
I will say this, we started taking it last Monday. On Tuesday night, I had one of the most vivid dreams in recent memory that night.
Not sure if the Somaderm played a role or what, but that was one thing I noticed.
Hopefully, your report will take in consideration the feedback and experiences from others.
Frankly, I’m shocked. I sleep deeper, which probably why I’m having more vivid dreams!
I’d say I’m unbiased, even though my wife is a distributor.
I have more to gain by not shelling out money for this every month. But, in the end, I’m sleeping deeper, and people have told me my bald spot in the back of my head disappeared.
And my wife’s hair is without a doubt thicker than it was.
Trust me. I use one m&m size pump, twice a day, 5 days a week.
They should have considered guys like me when they were coming up with their business model. I’ll be posting my final results soon.
Giving this product an honest trial is a 6 month period.
We have a friend that with Fibromyalgia, and the last I heard, she has had great relief, shortly after starting Somaderm.
Good luck. Fibro sounds like a really awful disorder.
Wasn’t getting it for that. Wanted it for my facial skin and dryness around eyes.
I’ll gladly send some pics to an email address. I have spent lots of money on supplements over the years and figured this wasn’t any different by giving it a try.
I did sign up as a distributor because if I do stay on a year I’ll virtually get 1 bottle free. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
At 60 I’m open to trying products to make me feel better. I have had a little increase in energy and focus, skin feels less dry and I haven’t added the water they suggest.
Thanks for the reviews. We’ll all see how this goes!
I’m not one to jump on the band wagon. I have two questions. 1) I take prescription thyroid medication and I question if the homeopathic thyroid ingredient may interfere with my prescription. 2) I have read a lot of inspirational testimonies, but have yet to find anything objective and factual.
Has there been any actual research on the gel? Thank you!
That’s a great question, and really the only person that can answer that objectively would be your doctor. My suspicion is there wouldn’t be any issues, but we haven’t had a chance to have our pharmacist look over the formula and it’s potential drug interactions.
It is not FDA approved because it is NOT a prescription. Only prescribed medicines are approved.
We LOVE that this does not have to be prescribed. It has been sold in northern california for 14 years without any issues….and there is a 93% retention rate because people love the way they feel after they’ve been using it.
I’ve helped a bunch of people come on board….Deep sleep seems to be the first noticeable difference for people…and honestly, for alot of people, that alone is worth $70 a month. A bottle lasts for 2 months.
So….don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. And yes….there is a 30 Day money back guarantee…..it’s homeopathic and works differently for everyone so for some people they see improvements quickly (i think those folks have adrenal issues and thyroid issues) i think the hgh (which encourages our pituitary gland to start making hgh again) comes in slower.
Anyway…..let me know if you have any questions.
From what my husband and I both have experienced and what I see on the FB page I mentioned, that is one of the first things you will experience. Glad you decided to see for yourself.
Look forward to your review
It probably didn’t help that I was fighting a massive hangover from the previous nights excesses 🙂
When you reach where I am, twice that age, we have very little. So the question would be, who will respond faster?
And to answer the question you asked, it really depends on your personal biology. I responded quickly.
I have friends that have responded quickly and some it took weeks. I have read some of your other reviews and so I know that you know, there is no cure for the 24 hour alcohol flu.
Sleeping under the influence is pretty non productive. On the same note, it has been recommended to limit alcohol consumption and if you are going to consume, do not apply gel for 3 hours after your beverage (s).
My offer still stands to have you review the FB testimonies. You can see all the great things the gel has done as well as how long it took some to respond.
1. Totally reduced my menstrual cramps to almost nothing and no 24 hour migraine I normally have like clockwork
2. Sleep has improved exponentially
3. Major energy increase
4. I had a patch of grey hair that seems to be fading.
I don’t sell this product but I’ve read extensively online before buying and decided it was worth a try.
I bought from a friend that sells it, at her cost.
She doesn’t wish to make any $$ off it, just to pass it on to friends at her cost.
I’ve been using for 2 weeks as of today and the only thing I have noticed is that my nights sweats have completely stopped, and they were BAD. The first two or three nights of using this they were significantly better then after that 3rd night they just stopped.
Other than that, i haven’t really noticed anything else.
I have chronic back pain and was hoping it would alleviate some of that and it has not (I will go back to the CBD which is works best). I also hoped it would give me some energy during the day i seem to be lacking and other than the first day or two (maybe it was in my head), it hasn’t helped with that either.
I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks BUT I haven’t gained any or noticed any water gain or edema side effect either. I sleep about the same with the exception that i am not waking up due to the night sweats now which is quite something.
I have not noticed any difference in my wrinkles or skin or muscle mass either.
Regardless, I am happy that it has put an end (for now) to the night sweats, which had just recently started a couple of months ago and were driving me nuts.
I think i have a long way to go with the menopause thing, since it has just started, so if i don’t have to put up with the sweats, I will be happy and will continue to use the product as long as those continue to stay away.
Regarding your back pain, I dont know your diagnosis, but I know mine. I have two sub-acute fractures in my L3 and L5. I used CDB oil and a heating pad religiously before gel. Now, after 2 months, I use CDB on particularly active days and the heating pad is back in the closet.
Skin and muscle changes can take a few months so be patient. They should happen for you.
I, like your friend, sell to provide my own habit and my friends. Lots of changes have happened in my own little group, lots of changes have happened for me.
I am sure you will experience more.
Like almost tripled! Not good.
To date no one can answer this question.
Thank you
I can send you the list of ingredients if you would like or post the website where I found them and you can take it to your doctor and ask. That is the safest way to find out.
If anyone other than a doctor answers it for you, I would not trust the answer
I have a list of ingredients listed above, click here to see them.
I take it nightly. At a recent visit with my BHRT doctor, I told her about my Somaderm.
She looked at the ingredients and felt it was safe to combine with the BHR Therapy I am currently doing. She was very interested in hearing my experience with Somaderm, as other patients of hers have been using it also, all with positive reports.
She is considering using it herself. My last blood results did not show any significant changes in my estrogen and progesterone levels after taking the Somadern for 5 months. I did do a baseline measurement of my HGH levels so that I can track my HGH going forward.
I will get my next labs done next month and will report back on those.
After 5 months, I can say that I am tracking with all of the stated benefits listed. I look forward to seeing even more results in the next few months.
I notice the comments from people who sell this gel.
It truly is a concern but there are tons of testimonies that point to the gel being a sound product.
I started using the gel because my bone density is so low that there is almost not a category to measure it. I break easily, have two fractures in my lumbar area that pre-gel have left me in the most pain I have ever experienced.
Post-gel, I am functioning again and my pain level is almost non-existent.
I have two doctors that are very interested in what is happening to me and are considering integrating the gel into their practices. They are completely turned off by the fact that it is marketed MLM but feel that their patients would benefit.
Even though the product is sold MLM, to some of us, it doesnt matter. I am selling the gel, cant help myself.
But my purchase is not for profit, it is to help others that could benefit. I have yet to look at the compensation plan but I guess I should since I seem to be acquiring a customer base.
All of the testimonies you read about can not be exaggeration and not all of those people are building a business.
If you think the gel is expensive, try illness. Give yourself a gift. Try it and see for yourself.
I am 55. In the 6 weeks, using recommended dose, here’s my results: first week and every night since: deep, uninterrupted sleep with vivid dreams, more energy and focus, feel mentally positive, less stressed, more calm. I’ve lost one and half pounds, my belly has flattened a little, seeing a little more muscle.
In last few days I’ve noticed my hair is fuller, and healthier. My nails are longer and stronger, less breakage.
I look forward to the next 6 months and the benefits I hope to see. I signed up as a distributor to get the discount.
It’s worth the money to me
I’ve been using the Somaderm for close to 2 months now and it has helped with sleep, energy & pain. One bottle has lasted me 2 months, so the $149.99 is really $75.00 for the month…and i know personally I’ve spent that much on vitamins trying to get the same benefits I’ve found with the Gel. Every body handles supplements/drugs etc differently so I expect different feed back on any product.
I can tell you that while living in Korea I had HGh injections that assisted in weight loss and fat reduction with no adverse reactions. When I found out about somaderm I joined and have been using it for 2 months and have a significant increase in my average daily sleep deep, and REM amount (per Fitbit reports) I have also, had reduced cravings, and slight weight loss. Thanks for your input.
Taken as prescribed, opioids are usually completely safe (if not extremely addictive, of course). However, I get what you’re saying.
I plan on trying it out sometime next month, so I’m definitely going to give it a shot! Like I told another commenter, my wife was looking pretty deeply into Somaderm as well.
So we’ll most likely both try it out.
Let me know if you want to see the testimonies on FB and I will add you to the 263k people on the page.
Also the one thing I do not find palatable is the 17.00 shipping charge for a customer purchase. I keep several bottles on hand to keep my friends from paying that charge.
The last thing I forgot to mention is that if you use the gel as directed, a bottle will last for more than a month, thus reducing the cost.
The FB page that I mentioned was started in March 2018. When I was invited to the page, there were 243K members.
That was a month ago. To date, there are 266,188 members.
The page is full of success stories mostly attributed to relief of inflammatory disorders, most all the testimonies share common experiences as well. There cannot be that many success stories for a non-working product.
My offer stands, I will be happy to invite you to the page for you to review and monitor. You will see a few comments here and there that the gel does not work but you will see 10 times more how much it does.
You have my email address if you would like to be added.
I, personally, have experienced pain relief from having two sub-acute fractures in my lower lumbar, along with amazing sleep quality and a heck of a lot of energy. I have not studied the business model but have shared my experience with friends.
I have a few friends that have had positive results from the product and a couple that have had no results at all.
Thanks for your feedback. Yeah I plan on testing Somaderm out soon, and will be posting my full results once I’ve completed testing.
Let me know when you are ready for a bottle. The one thing I do not find palatable is $17.00 shipping.
Also, I forgot to mention that a bottle should last longer than a month if you use it as recommended.
Thanks for the quick response
My husband is using it too, and he is claiming he sleeps better. I’d love for you to provide me with your results after using it.
Yeah it sound like everyone responds to Somaderm differently, which is really the case with most supplements. I have it on deck to test out probably in about a month or so, so keep checking back for updates!
I’m a chiropractor and some of the pain that I experience in my back and my shoulder I have gotten have gotten less.
That’s not enough product or enough time for the product to take full effect, just like many medications. I have been using the gel for 6 weeks and have experienced all of the stated expected results and more.
I am a female and 55, so maybe I am experiencing more than you would as a 37 male, due to age and gender. I am also not doing this for financial reasons so I would consider myself objective.
I am thrilled with my results so far and look forward to seeing even more benefits in the months to come. I am interested in what your wife’s experience has been.
