Protropin® is based upon 2 clinical studies that are some of the first to evaluate qualitatively, the secretion of growth factors following stimulation by oral compounds. The results showed that oral administration of a combination of 1200mg of L-arginine-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylate +1200mg of (S)-2,6-Diaminocaproic acid provoked a release of pituitary somatotrophin (a growth hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland) and insulin. This phenomenon was reproducible and the growth hormone secreted in response to this stimulation had biological activity (as demonstrated by radioreceptor assay and somatomedin induction). Hi-Tech Researchers found this amazing study when looking for other compounds that would benefit Hi-Tech's Cyclosome® Technology on compounds that are not usually very orally bioavailable. This study was performed at the University of Rome and determined that a combination of 1200mg of L-arginine-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylate +1200mg of (S)-2,6-Diaminocaproic acid, when given orally to a group of male volunteers was more than 10 times more effective at increasing blood levels of human growth hormone than when taking only the amino acid L-Arginine by itself, which yields an average net GH increase of more than 700%! According to these researchers, "We could demonstrate that the association of the two amino acids does result in the release of biologically active GH able to affect peripheral cellular receptors and thus cell growth in general."
