Theres another oral HGH made by Pfizer called capromorelin and instead of taking a synthetic form of growth hormone Pfizer's stimulates people to make more of their own. Pfizer's experimental pill were tested on nearly 400 men and women aged 65 or older and the test showed that the drug significantly boosted levels of growth hormone. Compared to those on the placebo volunteers given the hormone stimulator called capromorelin experienced a 1.4-kilogram average increase in muscle mass.
Merck's MK677 is also being tested in humans, and early results suggest it too increases lean body mass. In a 28-day trial with a new oral nonpeptide GHRP MK677, Growth Hormone and plasma IGF-I rose significantly, with the greatest effect occurring after the morning dose.
