Somadrol
EST
Overview
The effectiveness of Somadrol for its advertised sleep support and 'secretagogue' effects is highly questionable due to the proprietary blend and the inclusion of Phenibut. While some ingredients like L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP, Valerian Root, and Passion Flower have some evidence for promoting relaxation and sleep, their specific doses within the 793mg proprietary blend are unknown and likely suboptimal for individual efficacy. The 'secretagogue' claim targeting growth hormone release is not sufficiently supported, especially given the lack of specific growth hormone-releasing peptides or clearly effective doses of standard secretagogues.
The Good
Includes synergistic B vitamins (Niacin, B6) and Zinc, which support overall metabolic and immune health.
Contains ingredients traditionally used for sleep and relaxation like Valerian Root and Passion Flower.
Formulated with amino acids (L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP, L-Glycine, BCAAs, L-Glutamine) for general neurological and physiological support.
The Bad
Contains Phenibut, a powerful and addictive substance with unknown dosage within a proprietary blend, posing significant health risks including severe withdrawal.
Marketed for 'occasional sleeplessness' while containing potent compounds that require careful medical supervision.
The 'secretagogue' and 'anti-aging' claims are not robustly supported by the ingredient profile or their likely dosages.
