Answering your question about which one to take: amino acids or human growth hormone, they are all pretty much the same thing. For you HGH spray, it is not literally HGH in a bottle. Rather, it has in it a bunch of things that are known to be stimulators of HGH ,like the list we mentioned earlier. The HGH spray (like other HGH supplements) will probably have the amino acids in there as well as GABA and deer velvet and all the things that are known to stimulate the production of HGH.
Ok, so to give me a better understanding... you said you are very low in HGH, specifically 0.5 (normal range up to 10). What is the minimum that is considered to be in the normal range? A "range" usually has a minimum and a maximum value. And is this ng/mL? If you give me the unit of measurement then I could at least understand your "0.5" in some context.
What did your doctor say about this deficiency? When a doctor finds something like this in your blood test, it is their responsibility to lead you to the next step in fixing your situation.
And you already now why BO did not work for you. Regardless of it having HGH or not, you still have a hormonal imbalance with a progesterone deficiency and too much estrogen. So who knows. Maybe once you balance out your hormones, the HGH in the BO will help you this time.
This is what is involved in the production and use of your HGH: your pituitary glands and your liver. "Somatotropin, is a simple protein made up of a single chain of 191 amino acids. It is released by the pituitary gland, starting in childhood and continuing into old age. It moves from the bloodstream to the liver, where it is converted into somatomedin-C (also known as growth factors), which are messenger molecules that carry hGH’s message of growth into other parts of the body." Your doctor should help you look into the possible causes for your HGH deficiency, because (I don't recall your age atm) but I don't think you are old enough yet to blame it on aging. I really don't think that there is a huge chance of another HGH supplement in your diet to help your case if none of the others did. Supplements are meant to ADD to what you already get in your diet, and it is strange that yours is still so low considering all the HGH supplements and foods you have taken/eaten. So your doctor should really try to help you to see what is going on to make your HGH levels so low.
I did not realize that you do not exercise. You will not get the most out of your protein shakes if you do not exercise! As for not thinking that you get enough of those amino acids in your shakes: I doubt it. Well, how many shakes do you drink in a day? I drink two a day usually, and in one of my shakes I get about 10 grams of arginine, crystine, tyrosine, histidine, proline, and glutamine/glutaminic acid combined (in that order). I am sure that I get enough with two shakes, not to mention that you can also get these amino acids from your diet as well, remember (Arginine: red meat, nuts, spinach and lentils, whole grains, seafood, eggs; Tyrosine: eggs, soy, avocados, almonds, seaweed, parmesan cheese, fish, turkey). So, you are probably getting enough of those aminos as well. It is important to remember that these are CONDITIONALLY ESSENTIAL amino acids, which means that they are NOT essential. Why? Because your body can make this amino acid on its own.
As for the Emergen-C packs, you will get 10mg of vitamin B3 in a pack which is 50% of your daily value, so taking two packs a day should give you more than enough. You should probably check your multivitamin and add them up to see how much you really get on a daily basis, and then again, you are probably getting much in your diet as well as these foods are abundant in it: fish, chicken, pork, liver, peanuts, beef, mushrooms, peas, etc. So, my guess is that you are already getting enough. So yeah, you probably won't need to take any extra supplements for it.
So, bottom line is this: you are clearly getting enough from your diet to have a healthy level of HGH, so something else must be the cause of your deficiency. I would talk to your doctor about this, or whomever helped you get your HGH levels tested, as it was their responsibility to begin with and they kinda dropped the ball on that.

however all of this didn't help me at all with my HGH, it's extremely low and i'm been on whey protein for about 5 or 6 months, i take it 2 times daily with no result in HGH too ,
i knew that bountiful breast (b.o) is supposed to increase hgh too, but it didn't do anything for me in that too with using it 9 months ,
i knew also that i need very large a mount of specific amino acids ( l arginine at least (2 gram if i'm taking protein drink and more if not taking protein ) and l tyrosine at least 2gram )
so i think the amount found in whey protein is not enough to satisfy my purpose .
i'm so lazy too for exercise, i know it helps so much but i'm just lazy .
tim do you think that the amount of vit b in emergen-c msm is enough ? i'm afraid of b toxicity if taking additional b vit with it .
