Reference: Quabbe, H.J., Ramek, W., and Luyckx, A.S. Growth hormone, cortisol and glucagon concentration during plasma free fatty acid depression. Different effects of nicotinic acid and an adenosine derivative. J Clin Endocr Metab, 1983-2000, 57: 410-414.
This reliable study has shown (even if it is somewhat older) that 500mg of niacin (vitamin B3) can cause a dramatic increase in HGH. However, this effect is greatly reduced when the niacin is taken together with fats, as can be seen in the graph above. Therefore, it is recommended to take niacin on an empty stomach. So if you are looking for a natural way to boost HGH serum levels, niacin is the right choice. I know that older forum members will probably already know about Niacin, but I have the feeling that among the newer members Niacin flush is (almost) unknown, so I wanted to show the effects with regard to HGH here.
