Take beta-alanine and/or a sports drink around your workouts

Some sports supplements can improve performance while temporarily increasing HGH levels. Taking 4.8 grams of beta-alanine before a workout raised the number of repetitions accomplished by 22% in one research. When compared to the non-supplement group, it also doubled peak power and increased HGH levels. Another study found that consuming a sugary sports drink raised HGH levels at the conclusion of an exercise. However, if you're attempting to lose weight, the additional calories in the drink will cancel out any advantage from the short-term HGH boost.

Protein drinks, both with and without carbohydrates, have been demonstrated in studies to increase HGH levels before and after exercises. However, taking a casein or whey protein supplement right before strength training may have the opposite impact. According to one study, consuming a beverage containing 25 grams (0.9 ounces) of casein or whey protein 30 minutes before strength training lowered levels of human growth hormone and testosterone when compared to a non-caloric placebo.
