When I start the BO pills in a few months, I might try that too
Have you tried the same with a 30 min really hot shower?
I think it would induce the same effect right?

My showers are usually pretty long and I tend to shower hot but I don't think a hot shower gets quite hot enough. The sauna I use is usually at 158°F/70°C with humidity held steady at 60%. I think from what I have read that a hot shower would have the same effective to a lesser degree but if you're not sweating I don't think you get the same benefit. Exercising increases HGH but I think it has to do with getting internal body temperature up and getting the heart pumping. I also read that getting vitamin D3 levels increased helps increase HGH.
I also read recently that drinking whey protein after exercise helps increase HGH, which would mean my idea of drinking a whey protein shake right after a sauna session is actually something that is really beneficial.
One thing you have to be careful with when using sauna or taking really hot showers is dehydration and dry skin. I limit my sauna sessions to two a week so I don't get dehydrated or dry my skin out. But I have read that hot showers do increase HGH, but I imagine not to the same extent as exercise or sauna. :
