Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a naturally-occurring substance with a complex role in human physiology. Under a physician’s guidance, physicians may prescribe HGH to treat certain disorders. Since HGH is tightly regulated, some products have arisen that claim to boost the body’s production of HGH, like the supplement Secratatropin. However, some HGH “supplements” may run afoul of federal regulations and adverting laws and could be subject to an HGH supplement class action lawsuit.

Actual HGH is heavily regulated. Physicians may prescribe it to children with growth disorders, or adults with abnormally-low HGH levels. However, the drug can produce effects similar to testosterone and anabolic steroids. Athletes could theoretically use HGH as a performance-enhancing drug, much like steroids.

However, some HGH supplements on the market claim to enhance the body’s ability to produce more of their own Human Growth Hormone.

The official website for Secratatropin makes several marketing claims about their product. For example, the Secratatropin HGH website promises “a dramatic decrease in body fat and increase in lean muscle mass, GUARANTEED [sic].” Secratatropin HGH claims that their product contains “safe, legal ingredients” that stimulates the body into producing more of its own HGH, rather than introducing synthetic or recovered HGH.

Under federal law, a product can only make certain claims if it has been through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval process. For example, if a product claims to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, this is considered a drug claim. Along similar lines, any product that claims to alter the function of the human body could be said to be making a drug claim. In order to make a drug claim in the, a company is legally obligated to submit their product for rigorous testing. FDA testing protocols are designed to test drugs for both safety and efficacy. These protocols are designed to ensure that a drug can be reasonably said to not be dangerous to the public.

Some of the claims made by the makers of Secratatropin make have crossed the line into drug claims. For example, stimulating the body to produce elevated amounts of HGH may constitute a change in the body’s function.

Additionally, if a consumer could demonstrate that they have not realized the benefits promised by the supplement’s marketing claims. While it is legal to sell “dietary supplements” without FDA approval, such products are still subject to the laws that govern advertising. If a product can be demonstrated to make false claims, including drug claims, the drug’s manufacturers may be vulnerable to legal action by consumers.
