Hello momhoverman
Why is growth hormone being taken??? And how many calories is low calories??

I never recommend supplements or so called "health remedies". I think they are very risky and not well monitored for efficacy. Please follow the treatment plan prescribed by your heathcare provider. If you choose to take non-prescribed supplements, let your provider know this. You are accepting a high risk of interactions and side effects that may effect your health negatively.
