HGH supplement class action lawsuit attorneys are investigating many products that may not provide the benefits the companies advertise, and one of those is Dymatize Nutrition’s GABA Growth Hormone Activator.

The efficacy of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its use in human growth hormone production is subject of debate. One extremely small study of 11 men in 2008 found that men who were already exercising were able to increase hormone levels with the HGH supplement.

Whether or not that did anything was something that many buyers may question, and the scientists themselves could not ascertain whether it improved muscle tissue growth. Other medical experts argue that it should be difficult, if not impossible, for there to be any benefits from taking GABA supplements.

New York University Langone Medical Center notes that when the neurotransmitter is used on its own as an oral supplement “GABA levels in the brain do not increase, presumably because the substance itself cannot pass the blood-brain barrier.” If that is the case, then the GABA supplement cannot affect the centers of the brain and thus would be limited.

It should be noted that the Langone content does not focus on any specific product. However, the concerns the doctors there raise indicate that a supplement like Dymatize’s GABA may not provide the benefits that consumers would expect in terms of elevating hormonal levels.

It could also make the company’s claims that “GABA increases the body’s sleeping cycle” somewhat problematic. While the research is accurate, the pathway that the chemical takes might limit those benefits, according to HGH supplement class action lawsuit attorneys.

While many similar products may contain gamma aminobutyric acid, similar concerns exist for all of them. In addition, consumers who are considering these products should look closely at the other ingredients. Many may have anecdotal links to the listed benefits or from small-scale studies, but extensive medical research may indicate that they are unlikely to produce the results expected.

The investigations are fairly recent, so many supplement buyers may not have been aware of the likelihood that the advertisements and labeling may not have been accurate. Legal remedies may be available to those that qualify.
