Human growth hormone (HGH) is secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. Like all hormones, HGH works to regulate the activities of vital organs, and thus helps maintain health throughout the body. HGH was originally called a growth hormone because it is produced in greatest amounts during adolescence, when growth is most rapid. HGH does indeed help control growth. Because of the link between this hormone and the growth process, HGH therapy was first used to treat children who were failing to grow normally because of a deficiency of this hormone. Without HGH therapy, these children would have become dwarfs, with it, their growth was normal.
However, it has been found that HGH regulates more than just growth. Tissue repair, healing, cell replacement, organ health, bone strength, brain function, enzyme production, and the health of nails, hair, and skin all require adequate amounts of HGH. In addition, this hormone strengthens the immune system and helps the body resist oxidative damage.
Unfortunately, after adolescence (around the age of 20-30), levels of HGH begin to decline at a rate of about 14 percent per decade. As production of the hormone decreases, so does the function of all vital organs. So by 35-40 years of age, your HGH level has begun a significant decline below the optimal levels found as a young adult. Because of this correlation between declining HGH production and aging, another application of HGH therapy has developed: the use of the hormone to reverse or retard age-related symptoms of physical and mental decline, and to treat some non-age-related disorders as well. It is this newer use of HGH therapy that is discussed here on this page.
According to reports in scientific literature, benefits from HGH replacement therapy include a reversal of declining pulmonary function, decreased body fat, increased capacity to exercise, increased bone mass in people with osteoporosis, and the improvement or reversal of many other age-related symptoms and disorders. HGH has also been shown to strengthen the immune system and to improve the quality of life for people with AIDS by treating "wasting syndrome" - severe weight and muscle loss. People receiving HGH have reported a general enhancement of health and well-being, including a more positive outlook.
HGH BENEFITS FOR TREATING AGING SYMPTOMS
Using HGH Releasers and activators helps your body restore the amount of HGH in your system to their more youthful levels, many of the common effects of aging are reversed. Among its many benefits, HGH helps produce:
- Younger skin.
- Thicker skin.
- Fewer wrinkles.
- Stronger bones.
- Increased lean body mass.
- Lowered body fat.
- Higher energy levels.
- Enhanced sexual performance.
- Stronger immune system.
- Greater cardiac output.
- Sharper vision.
- Improved mood.
- Better memory
Increase Energy / Vitality: HGH can not only reinvigorate the mind, it can also reverse the attitudes, outlook and expectations associated with aging. It increases concentration and thinking power, has an anti-depressive action on the brain, and can have a profound effect in increasing energy and a sense of well-being.
Studies at St. Thomas Hospital in London showed that "there is a tremendous increase in muscles and you won't believe how hard they are." L. Cass Terry, M.D. also found that growth hormone, "made a tremendous difference in my fat composition and body configuration in less than two months."
The skin regains thickness and youthful contours as it becomes more elastic and hydrated and people start looking visibly younger, usually within a few weeks. Not only do the fine lines vanish and deeper wrinkles recede, the face actually undergoes a change of contour.
Growth hormone appears to have a tonic effect on hair. In clinical tests 38% reported new hair growth, coming in faster and thicker, and even in its natural color.
Nails are strengthened and cellulite removed. HGH has even demonstrated that it can re-grow burned skin and close ulcerated wounds.
According to many of the physicians who use growth hormone in their practice, the sexual changes are striking, effecting both men and women.
The latest European research shows that growth hormone can not only further what antioxidants do, it can also go beyond and do what antioxidants cannot.
Thus, in order to maintain optimal health, we can supplement HGH and activate our own HGH production, as our natural level drops with age.
HGH THERAPY TREATMENTS
Formulated Sublingual HGH Releasers: Transmucosal HGH formulations are sprayed into the mouth and absorbed through the mucous membranes of the inner cheek. In stark contrast, the synthetic injectables, other oral sprays, and homeopathics address only one. Formulations (with M.A.P.S.™ delivery Technology) is engineered with specific secretogogues (substances that increase hormonal secretion from endocrine glands) which are in the form of Somatotropin Releasing Peptides (SRP's)/Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRP's), free form amino acids, IGF1 Peptides, and herbal extracts that target the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (the hormonal system that regulates GH production).
These HGH formulas effectively initiates a 72 hour pulsatile release of HGH from the anterior pituitary (small bursts). The transport mechanisms in this product are also very important because the various peptide fractions are quite fragile and must be completely protected, quickly and efficiently absorbed, and then transported to the target cells where they will enzymatically lock into receptor sites and activate GH production.
The mechanism of action here is simple but important and is a problem area with synthetic injectables. When the body perceives a rise in either IGF-I (insulin growth factor) or GH, it responds by releasing somatostatin which in turn shuts down the natural production of GH until the levels drop back down in the system.
Essentially, with synthetic injectable HGH, you are giving your body GHRH mimetic peptides, which only work on the pituitary (the reservoir for HGH), neglecting the hypothalamus, where Natural HGH production begins. With these formulations, you are giving your body a natural, small concentrated, bioactivated, colloidal formulation that strongly increases your natural production of HGH by stimulating the hypothalamus with GHRP'S.
You are also blocking somatostatin, which is produced in your body, so that your HGH levels can keep rising. Other important growth hormone potentiators in these sublingual formulas are IGF-I peptides, specifically sequenced amino acids, and natural L-dopa from standardized Mucuna extract.
Live Young, Oral HGH Tablet Formula: Live Young Oral Tablets, are a dilute HGH that can provide the same amazing benefits found in synthetic injectable HGH without the exorbitant costs and dangerous side effects of synthetic HGH. Also, Live Young Oral HGH is clinically proven through double blind placebo controlled studies to increase lean muscle mass and energy, decrease body fat, as well as provide a host of other remarkable health benefits. This amazing new formula has been studied in double blind placebo clinical trails, showing extraordinary effectiveness in restoring optimum functioning, physical appearance, energy levels, mental clarity and lean body mass in aging patients.
HGH INJECTIONS: Although HGH injections may be self-administered, HGH Injection Therapy must be prescribed and supervised by a health care provider. This is particularly important in light of the fact that as the therapy promotes tissue repair and other processes, the need for many nutrients increases. Therefore, treatment should include the supplementation of various vitamins, minerals, and, in some cases, other hormones.
As long as the dosage remains low - 4 to 8 IU of the hormone per week - HGH therapy appears to be free of significant side effects. Those side effects that do occur usually pass as the body adjusts to the therapy.
Studies/Test Results with HGH: In a 10-week human study conducted by the Life Center for Health, a third party medical facility, on male and female test subjects ranging in age from 42 to 86 years of age, levels of IGF-1, Testosterone, DHEA, HDL and Lean Muscle Mass were significantly increased, while levels of LDL, body fat, Triglycerides and Cholesterol were significantly decreased. In addition, hair color was restored in several test subjects along with new hair growth. Anaerobic threshold and grip strength also increased significantly. Also noted in the study were weight loss and increased sexual stamina in test subjects as mature as 86 years of age. Liver regeneration was evidenced by the significant and almost complete fading of "age spots" on the hands of several test subjects, and cardiovascular health was improved in one test subject with Atrial Arrhythmia. These results are all markers of regeneration and a return to a more youthful state of health.
RECOMMENDATIONS & CONSIDERATIONS
Avoid the consumption of excessively sweet foods, as it results in a blood sugar level that is counterproductive to the release and utilization of HGH. High-sugar foods should especially be avoided before going to bed, as the primary supply of HGH is released during sleep.
Avoid eating immediately before exercising. Although vigorous exercise usually stimulates the production of HGH, blood sugar levels must be stable during exercise for HGH release to take place.
To stimulate the body's production of HGH, take the amino acid arginine, which has been shown to encourage HGH manufacture. This amino acid is best taken in supplement form (500 mg daily), as foods that are high in arginine also contain amino acids that inhibit its ability to reach the pituitary gland, the site of HGH release.
