What Is SeroVital Advanced?
It's a dietary supplement with a set of ingredients (called the Renewal Complex) that the makers claim will clinically raise human growth hormone and provide you with the following benefits:
- fewer lines and wrinkles
- better sleep
- reduced appetite and cravings
- weight loss
- better energy levels
- heightened focus
All pretty impressive benefits. So is there any evidence for them?
How Many Capsules Per Day?
So with the Advanced formula, there are red, white, and yellow capsules. In the morning, you take 1 red and white capsule together. Then, about 2 hours before bed, you take 4 of the yellow capsules with water on an empty stomach. That makes 6 capsules a day.
The yellow capsules are the actual SeroVital supplement.
The red and white capsules contain the ingredients that are supposed to help with weight loss, skin health, and cravings.
SeroVital Advanced Ingredients
Here are the ingredients in the yellow and red and white capsules:
| Yellow Capsules (SeroVital). Take 4 of these | Red & White. Take 2 of These |
| Amino Renewal Complex (2.9 grams) | Vitamin C 22 mg (24%DV) |
| Lysine | Vitamin D 33 mcg (165 % DV) |
| Arginine | Riboflavin 30 mg 2308% DV) |
| Oxy-Proline | Zinc 14 mg (127% DV) |
| N-acetyl Cysteine | Selenium 60 mcg (109% DV) |
| Glutamine | Copper 0.9 mg (100% DV) |
| Schizopeta powder | Proprietary Blend 1016 mg of the following |
| Chlorella | |
| Lady's Mantle Extract | |
| Olive Leaf Extract | |
| Cumin Seed Extract | |
| Coffee Bean Extract | |
| Wild Mint Leaf Extract | |
| Konjac Root Extract | |
| Triticum Aestivum Seed Extract | |
| Collagen Peptides | |
| Keratin Peptides | |
| Hyaluronic Acid |
When you read this table, remember these tips:
- mg= milligrams
- mcg = micrograms
- Triticum Aestivum = wheatgrass
- The yellow capsules are the SeroVital ingredients. The red and white capsules for skin and weight loss.
- Ingredients at the top are present the most. Ingredients at the bottom make up the least of the supplement.
For example, in the proprietary blend, since hyaluronic acid (used for skin hydration) is the last ingredient listed, there's less of it than chlorella, which is listed first.
Making Sense Of The Ingredients
Serovital Advanced contains the exact same 6 ingredients – and amounts of ingredients – as the original SeroVital, which has been around for several years. These are the yellow capsules. These are ingredients that are supposed to raise your growth hormone levels.
The red and white capsules are supposed to make SeroVital Advanced better. The red and white capsules are said to help with skin hydration, weight loss, and cravings.
SeroVital Clinical Research
There is preliminary research on the original SeroVital supplement. The first research study involved 16 people who were in their 30s. The people were given the 6 ingredients in SeroVital – or a placebo -and their growth hormone levels were tested regularly for 2 hours. When the 
In addition, their IGF1 levels – the stuff that stimulates growth hormone production – were also higher 8 hours later.
See the original review for a deep dive into the research.
SeroVital Advanced Clinical Research
Is there any proof the Advanced form is better? Clinical research cannot be located. Since it has the same HGH ingredients (yellow capsules), it can be expected to work as well as the original version of the supplement. It's not known if researchers have compared the original SeroVital to the Advanced version to see which is better.
But what about skin health and weight loss and cravings? Some of the ingredients make sense. Let's break those ingredients down
Skin health and hydration ingredients
- Vitamin C
- Collagen peptides
- Keratin
- Hyaluronic acid
Weight loss ingredients
- Konjac root extract
- coffee bean extract
Konjac fiber, also known as glucomannan, is a type of fiber studies suggest may help weight loss. For weight loss, studies often use 1000 mg to 3000 mg. How much is in Advanced SeroVital?
Is it possible coffee bean extract refers to caffeine? Or chlorogenic acid, the stuff in green coffee touted to help weight loss? The extract used is not mentioned.
Energy & focus ingredients
It's speculation, but these ingredients may help:
- Selenium
- coffee bean extract (if the extract used is caffeine)
Selenium helps thyroid hormone production. A lack of this hormone can lead to fuzzy thinking.
SeroVital Advanced vs. Origional SeroVital
So what are the differences between them? The Advanced version also has ingredients for skin health and weight loss. Those are the red and white pills. It cannot be determined if the unique combination of ingredients in the red and white pills has been put to the test – clinical trials – to see if they really lead to significant weight loss or better skin health.
That said, there is weight loss research on konjac root extract (glucomannan). Weight loss studies tend to use 1000 mg to 3000 mg of konjac fiber to achieve results. Also, not all studies show it works. See this review for more on konjac fiber.

SeroVital Advanced Side Effects
So, is it safe? For most people, using it is probably not dangerous and ok, especially if you are essentially healthy. Common side effects include stomach upset. For those who are not healthy, here are things to consider. This list is not complete so ask your doctor to be sure:

- Stop taking SeroVital Advanced at least 2 weeks before surgery

- Konjac pills have been associated with choking. Swallow capsules with plenty of water. For some using the powdered form may be better.
- Talk to your doctor if you have cancer or undergoing cancer therapy.
Does SeroVital Advanced Really Work?
While I don't discount many people have said they feel and look better after taking the SeroVital, I'd like to see more clinical research on HGH levels. I'd also like to see clinical research on the Advanced supplement on its ability to help weight loss. Did the Advanced SeroVital help you lose weight or improve your focus or energy levels? You tell me.
Joe, another great article. As you know, I’ve had this severe post-op infection and have been on large doses of antibiotics (now oral after 46 days of IV antibiotics), and they have caused me to have NO appetite. Yet, in order for my wound to heal, I have to get enough protein. So I’ve been using collagen powder in drinks. The collagen contains all the amino acids, but in hundreds of mg amounts, not grams. I wonder if my GH is increasing???
This company needs to do research on a larger group of people in order to validate all of their claims. Otherwise, I would think that the placebo effect is working on some of those who claim it works so well. My opinion.
It amazes me that supplement companies do not do more research. Maybe getting permission for the studies is difficult? Maybe they are afraid of the results?
Roseann, I was just about to reach out and see how you were doing! I know you have been going through a difficult time lately. Sorry to hear about your appetite. If I remember, there is a medication to increase appitite isn’t there? The lack of appetite means your eating fewer calories. You’ll need those calories to help yourself heal.
Collagen does have some evidence it may help wound healing. I think it might work better when mixed with whey protein or casein protein or a combo of them (that’s milk). Collagen isn’t a complete protein (it’s missing tryptophan). I could do some research for protein powders /shakes for you if you like?
As always, Joe, a thoughtful, unbiased analysis of a supplement promoting weight loss and the ability to reverse the signs of aging. I appreciate your diligence and time in researching the ingredients and studies associated with this product. I trust you implicitly and always recommend you to my clients who are curious about the latest “hot” product in the marketplace.
Thank you and keep up the great work!
Michelle, thanks so much for those words!
So why publish an article and the only “conclusion” offered is “you tell me does it work” ? Total waste of time to read this click bait article
Jim, It would be easy to say take this or don’t take that but I’d rather give you the information to make the decision for yourself. I worked REALLY hard on this review. I compared SeroVital Advanced to the original SeroVital AND I broke it down into what I felt were its key ingredients? Why do you think I included side effects and things to consider? Would a clickbait article point out choking hazard from konjac? As for “you tell me,” did you read the previous two sentences?
I always appreciate you Joe and the research / information you offer…thank you!
Greg, thanks so much!!
Jim, you miss the whole point of SupplementClarity! Joe evaluates the product, using the research available and information about the ingredients! Then he leaves us to make up our minds whether or not to buy it, based on the research and information he shares! Do you want someone to tell you what to buy? Ask your mother!
