I used Somaderm Gel for almost a month, and got virtually NO results. However, my wife DID! Read my HONEST Somaderm review, no strings attached...
Aging sucks.
Big time.
There are a gazillion so-called homeopathic products on the market that claim to be the fountain of youth — including Somaderm HGH gel.
Reverse-aging, anti-aging, youthification… you name it and these companies have coined a term to catch your attention.
In this billion dollar industry, some products rise to the top, while 99.9% of all other products fade away like a bad dream.
And it’s really no surprise.
Special Note!! (2021)
If you’re looking for a truly effective HGH releaser, we recommend you check out a product called P-MB Elite.
It’s a highly-effective Somatropin HGH alternative, and is by far the best I’ve ever tested (and I’ve tested literally DOZENS!).
Click Here to learn more about P-MB Elite in my comprehensive review.
Why?
Because there is no such thing as a fountain-of-youth product that can reverse the aging process.
Turning back the clock is unfortunately just not possible, which doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do to make it go smoother, but reversing aging is impossible.
I mean, last I checked, 10 out of 10 people die in the end.
Ouch, right? :-/
But it’s not all doom-and-gloom.
Some products DO help to “manage” and perhaps “slow down” the aging process.
Some even do a pretty good job at boosting energy, helping you to lose weight, improve sleep, etc.
So when I recently received an email from a guy asking if I’ve ever tried New U Life Somaderm HGH gel, I just had to dig in and take a good look at it.
I must say, there’s something different about this dietary supplement.
It contains Human Growth Hormone (HGH), which we’ll learn more about in a bit.
But does it really work? Is it a great opportunity or big scam?
And is it right for you and your health goals?
Let’s find out!
According to the makers of the product, “New U Life’s SOMADERM Gel is the only transdermal, FDA registered product, containing Homeopathic human growth hormone.”
Let’s stop right there.
You should know that “FDA registered” is NOT the same as “FDA approved.” (Source)
Almost anyone can “register” a product, but the Food and Drug Administration will only put their stamp of approval on products that are proven to be safe.
Anyhow, you apply the skin cream to the skin (Captain Obvious here), and it goes directly into your bloodstream.
Check out the Somaderm promotional video…
Why the bloodstream?
Isn’t that a little… much?
The makers of the product claim that pills and sprays are ineffective, and injections are invasive and can cause serious side effects.
Hence the cream, and hence the bloodstream.
The idea is that when it hits the blood, it slowly elevates HGH levels in the human body.
For as much as they praise the HGH hormone as “highly-studied and well-documented,” they don’t say what it is, how it works, and why we should care about it.
But don’t worry… that’s what I’m here for.
We’ll dig into the ingredients in just a bit.
But first, it’s important you learn about the company behind the product, and whether or not they can be trusted.
Welcome to New U Life…
When you first land on the company’s official website, you get the impression that it’s a small outfit, selling just one product: Somaderm.
Alex Goldstein is at the helm of the ship, and from what I can tell, he seems like a decent guy.
But here’s the kicker.
With just a little digging, you learn what it’s really all about.
You see, on their ‘Mission & Vision’ section of the website, I came across this…
Alright, hold the phone!
It says, “We believe that your financial freedom is the byproduct of hard work and loving what you do every day.”
My ‘Financial Freedom’? I thought this was an anti-aging cream?
What’s this talk about making money and hard work?
And just like that, you feel the cold fingers of a multi-level marketing company tugging at your pocketbook or purse.
Welcome to New U Life…
What is New U Life MLM?
It’s just that, a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that you— YES YOU! —can be a part of.
Oh joy.
If you don’t know what an MLM company is, just think Mary Kay, Amway, or Arbonne.
Yeah, it’s one of those.
Does this mean it’s a scam or some pyramid scheme that you should look out for?
Well, we’ll get to that.
But for now it’s important you know the backstory of the company.
Like Most Ponzi Scheme / MLM-type programs, the compensation plans are very difficult to understand.
If you want a thorough explanation of the compensation plans, you should watch this video below:
He does a pretty good job of breaking it all down in an “easy to understand” format.
If you just want the key takeaways about their network marketer compensation plans, here they are:
If you sell 1 bottle of Somaderm HGH at a retail cost of $169.99 to retail customers, you make $45 per bottle.
Retail customers are defined as customers that have not signed up for a membership.
Autoship customers pay a slightly lower price of $149.99 per bottle of Somaderm Gel.
For each customer that you sign up for the program, you’ll earn a retail commission of $25 per customer per month.
As an example, if you were to recruit and maintain 12 autoship customers in one calendar month, you will earn a total of $300 in retail commissions.
If all of these customers re-order the same quantity every month, you will continue to earn $300 a month in retail commissions.
This is what’s known as a residual commission.
There are several other ways to earn with New U Life, including a recruitment commission, hitting Coach rank, Life Coach rank, Ambassador, and Diamond Ambassadors levels.
Some affiliates earn as much as $6,000 a month with the program as a network marketer.
They even have a car bonus for qualified affiliates.
When you enroll, you have 4 options:
Executive Pack ($999): Which includes 8 bottles of Somaderm Gel, 1 year membership, replicated website, and access to their training materials.
Pro Pack ($559): Includes 4 bottles of Somaderm Gel, 1 year membership, Replicated website, and access to training materials.
NewU Pack ($199): 1 bottle of Somaderm, 1 year memebership, replicated website, and access to training.
Distributor Starter Pack ($59): No product, 1 year membership, replicated website.
Let’s dive further into the actual product, because believe me, it’s an eye opener.

Somaderm’s human growth hormone gel contains three active ingredients:
And a whole boatload of inactive ingredients…here’s the label:
Allow me to put some meaning behind all these big words.
The National Drug Codes List says that Glandula Suprarenalis Suis is just a generic name for HGH. Source
Thyroidiumis a thyroid stimulating hormone that is said to help with thyroid problems.One study claims that it has beneficial effects when it comes to weight loss and symptomatic relief. Source
Finally, Somatropin 30Xis yet another name for growth hormone.
It is most often injected into the skin, to “treatgrowth failure in children and adults who lack natural growth hormone.” Source
According to the certified homeopath site Homeowatch.org, the 30X in this homeopathic solution simply means that the original substance has been diluted by 1 followed by 30 0’s. Source
And of course, the makers of the product claim that the ingredients are 100% safe and natural.
All of these ingredients point to the human growth hormone that, some say, helps to:
It’s also used for a wide variety of medical condition, including:
Growth hormones have a long history of abuse, especially in the world of sports.
One only has to recall the golden years of baseball that were marred by excessive doping. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco… these household names became synonymous with “juicing” for top-shelf performance.
While HGH is not a steroid (it’s actually a protein-based hormone that’s made naturally by our pituitary gland), many people use and abuse HGH supplements and injections for similar performance-enhancing reasons.
For instance, Harvard conducted a study on HGH, and the preliminary commentary is pretty telling.
And here’s the irony.
From outside-looking-in, HGH works pretty damn well.
But, upon closer investigation, you’ll find it’s mostly smoke and mirrors.
Athletes who take HG “tryto benefit from the known anabolic action of the drug, to increase their muscle mass and power.” Source
While there is evidence that they do work,have a look at the findings of Harvard’s research on the efficacy of HGH on athletes….
“After receiving daily injections for an average of 20 days, the subjects who received GH increased their lean body mass (which reflects muscle mass but can also include fluid mass) by an average of 4.6 pounds.
That’s a big gain — but it did not translate into improved performance.
In fact, GH did not produce measurable increases in either strength or exercise capacity.
And the subjects who got GH were more likely to retain fluid and experience fatigue than were the volunteers who got the placebo. Source
Not so good.
“Right,” you might say, “…but I’m NOT an athlete, I’m a 69-year-old couch potato looking for a little extra somethin’.”
Well, to that I say…
The Harvard researchers conducted an almost identical study of the effectiveness of HGH on 69-year-old couch potatoes. 😉
And the results? Not.
So.
Good.
Instead of improving things like cholesterol, triglycerides, bone density, blood sugar and insulin levels — the growth hormone recipients “experienced a high rate of side effects.” Source
Which brings me to my next point.
According to WebMD, the side effects of HGH might include:
But keep in mind Somaderm HGH is a homeopathic dietary supplement and packs a much lower dose than your typical HGH injection, so if you do experience these side effects, they will likely be minimal.
Nevertheless, from the research I’ve read, HGH has varying results for those who take it.
It should also be noted that if you are suffering from a medical condition like high blood pressure, you should check with your doctor before using Somaderm Gel.
Well, it is an MLM company pushing the product.
And we have seen just how ineffective — and perhaps dangerous — HGH can be.
So I’ll let you put two-and-two together.
YouTube is filled with “honest reviews” of Somaderm HGH.
But I’ll tell you what… I trust them about as far as I can throw them.
The reviews I found we’re unabashedly made by New U Life members, and they come across as blatant advertisements.
So I won’t even bother sharing them with you.
With that said, I wasn’t able to find any unbiased user reviews of Somaderm HGH.
This, too, is rather telling.
So my wife and I decided to try a bottle of Somaderm Gel out for one month, and I have to say I’m a little disappointed at the lack of results.
It comes in a pump bottle that stands about 8 inches high, and depending on how often and how much you’re pumping, can last for as long as 2 months.
The directions on the label state that you should apply one full pump in the morning and 1 full pump in the evening.
Since my wife and I were sharing the bottle, we did about a 1/2 pump each twice a day.
I will say this, the gel is pretty easy to apply.
You essentially have to rotate around your body to various spots where there is thin skin with visible veins.
That means spots like under your eyes,under your palms, on your wrists, inner elbow, behind the knees, and even the top of your feet.
I did this 2 times a day on a 5 day on, 2 day off basis, as instructed.
First, the pros…
On the very first night, I had one of the most vivid dreams I had in a long time. As I mentioned in the comments below, I was shaking off a two-day hangover.
So sleep was something I desperately needed…
Were these vivid dreams the result of applying Somaderm?
I don’t know.
Healthline claims that vivid dreams may have something to do with the brain trying to eliminate any unnecessary information or memories, while processing and storing what’s important. (see that article here)
In any event, I was actually a bit excited that I had these vivid dreams because I had read several posts of people who’ve used Somaderm experience the exact same thing.
On the second day, I would say that I felt a bit more energetic.
Maybe it was placebo effects, maybe it was the Somaderm, I just don’t know.
But I could definitely sense something.
Further along in the test, is where things started to fall apart.
I can say with 100% certainty that I did not experience any of the benefits that the people who have used Somaderm claim.
There was no better quality sleep, no decreased body fat, no increase in lean muscle, and no relief from joint pain.
In short, there was virtually nothing.
My 30 day honest assessment shows that it just didn’t work.
With all of that said, I actually DO think the product has some potential.
I mean, there’s 100’s of reviews scattered throughout the internet claiming that it’s changed their life for the better.
In fact, my wife just so happens to be one of those people.
She’s going to be posting her Somaderm review on her blog WomensBlogTalk.com, and as soon as she does I will link to it.
As I mentioned earlier, the directions on the label state that you should apply one full pump in the morning and 1 full pump in the evening.
You pump the gel onto the thinnest layers of your skin, where you can see your veins.
These areas include:
You can only purchase Somaderm HGH from the New U Life website:Newulife.com
Because of the MLM business structure, it is not available at physical or online retailers.
You can score a bottle of the stuff for one easy payment of $149.99.
Wait… what?! $149.99 for a bottle of gel?And that’s if you ARE a member of the scam, I mean club.
If you’re not a member, you’ll have to fork over $169.99!
I literally just lost a year off my life from sticker shock alone, thus negating any potential anti-aging benefits from the product One step forward, two steps back.
Damn.
This is starting to sound like one of those pyramid schemes…
Up to this point, I tried my best to give Somaderm HGH the benefit of the doubt.
But this ridiculous price tag is the nail in the coffin.
Nope.
As far as I can tell, Somaderm HGH does not come with any guarantee.
The whole ‘risk vs. reward’ scale is definitely weighing heavy on the ‘risk’ end.
Nuh uh.In other words, I will NOT jump at the chance to pay $160 for a bottle of gel that a) I’m not sure even works, b) Has done nothing to earn my trust (no testimonials, reviews, etc.) and c) Doesn’t come with a money-back guarantee.
Nuh uh.No way, Jose.
After finally having tested Somaderm Gel out, I’m still a bit on the fence.
I can tell you this, I’ve personally used real hgh in the past, and it didn’t even come close.
There’s plenty of people who sell the product trying to call B.S. on my review. (see the comments below)
What can I say?
I gave it a fair shake, and it didn’t work for me.
What do you want me to say? That it did? That it works like real human growth hormone gel?
Well, I’m not gonna do that, not for this or any other homeopathic product.
I have somewhat of a reputation to uphold, and if you’ve read any of my other reviews, I do one thing and one thing only:
Tell it like it is.
I could just as easily lie to my readers and say it’s the best thing since sliced bread, and earn a commission on selling the product.
I can’t in good faith put myself in the corner of a product that just did not do the trick for me personally and still sleep well at night.
My visitors rely on me providing my HONEST assessment of a products worth, and no commission is worth that trust.
Again, that’s just not how I roll.
Personally speaking, I actually DO think that Somaderm Gel works for a vast swath of people.
Based on the reviews I’ve read, it may certainly help with weight loss, reduced body fat, and possibly even increase hgh levels.
However, like with any supplement, there will be a certain percentage of the population that are “non-responders”.
I’m 37 years old, and the vast majority of the other reviews I’ve read seem to be posted by men and women in their 40’s and older.
THESE are the people that it seems to work for, not necessarily a younger generation.

Weeks in...nothing so far...
By
Zed
,Been using the product daily as directed for about 6 weeks. So far, nothing noticeable to report from the list of "expected" changes. Sleep has not improved, no weight loss (if anything, I'm 2-3 lb heavier), no noticeable energy increase. What IS curious is that when I have reported a lack of change back to my seller, they linked me to "new" Youtube videos and commentary about people with HGH deficiency who now apparently need to increase the dosing to twice or even three uses per day. (Which, of course, makes the $169.99 bottle last only a few weeks, not a month, requiring the purchase of another sooner.) I'm not at the point of calling it a scam yet, but I'm close. The Somaderm Scam Facebook page has a few posts about chemical and technical facts that I'm not qualified to interpret, but the gist is that the size of the HGH molecule in the Gel, and the dilution factors used making the stuff, make it pretty much impossible for the stuff to do anything at all. The suggestion has been made that any noticed improvements are either placebo effect, or the result of the thyroidinum or another unknown (and unpublished) ingredient like testosterone (the Gel distribution of which without a prescription would be illegal). So I'd say I don't really know what to believe at this point. I will probably finish this bottle, but I doubt I'll order another.

Don't knock something you haven't tried!
By
Floyd
,I'm 80 years old, and I've been using Somaderm HGH for nearly 4 months The conspicuous benefits far outweigh the cost. I have increased endurance, energy, improved muscle tone, and definition. I no longer get large purple arm bruises, probably because my skin is no longer thin. I don't find myself wondering why I came into a room as often, and I no longer lean on something to put my pants on.

Julie anna's Review
By
Julie anna
,I tried Somaderm after my sister’s energy level increased, her body started tightening up and her skin became brighter and smoother after just a couple of weeks of using the product. After about a week I also noticed my face looking younger and body tightening up (not bulking up) without any more effort. Two weeks in, I noticed that I was shedding more when brushing and washing my hair. As much as I loved my skin looking younger and body getting tighter it just wasn’t worth losing my hair. I’ve been off the gel now for a week, my hair is normalizing but the positive effects have diminished as well. My sister is doing amazing and I’m happy for her. I’m not a doctor but I imagine that it has something to do with the Thyrodium or maybe I’m one of those rare people that experience hair loss with HGH. One thing is for sure, I’ll be looking for something that gives me the porcelain skin and tighter body without bulk again!

It is working for me, I am not a consultant
By
Jill
,I am a 45 year old stay at home Mom that was in fantastic shape "back in the day". Let's just say I have drank too much wine and ate too much pizza instead of going to the gym.
A friend of mine told me about Somaderm (she is a distributor), so I decided to give it a try. In addition to this, I also began watching what I was eating a little more and occasionally dragging myself to the YMCA. That was 6 weeks ago.
I have lost 16 lbs (I credit that mainly to my diet and cutting out wine). What I have noticed is 2 changes that I credit to my gel. I was suffering from the dreaded thin eyebrows, and they are noticeably thicker. I am super pumped about that! I don't have to pencil them in anymore and I have not plucked any different at all.
I guess the best and biggest change that I can not tie to my diet, is the fact that my sex drive has totally increased. Not to give anything real graphic, but my husband says the size of my cl*t has noticeably increased. I orgasm easier and actually feel like I am in the mood again! Hubs even offered to buy my next bottle. We are not rich by any means and 169.00 plus shipping is a lot of money for us.
I thought I was sleeping better at first, but don't think that is one of the benefits I am going to get. But hey, different things work for different people.
Just my 2 cents, definitely worth give it a shot!
