Human Growth Hormone - Fact or Fantasy?
by Dr Hannibal Roman
HGH (human growth hormone) is a natural hormone which is created by the Pituitary gland which resides in the middle of the brain. Human Growth Hormone stimulates most other glands in the body to function at maximum.
Recent studies have shown that raising the body's levels of Human Growth Hormone can delay or even reverse biological aging.
As we leave our teens our bodies produce gradually less HGH. This reduction leads to a host of undesirable side-effects including more body fat, reduce immunity, poor skin tone, reduced libido, and many other symptoms that we usually associate with aging.
Experts once thought that an aging pituitary gland did not have the facility to produce greater amounts of HGH. However, more recent studies show that a maturing pituitary really is indeed capable of producing as much HGH as when it was much younger, but only when it is stimulated to do so.
In clinical trials, increased HGH has been shown to give:
Average increased muscle (nearly 9% in six months with no exercise)
Average 14% fat-loss after six months, (no dieting)
Superior immune function
More rapid wound-healing
Deeper and improved sleep
Improved visual acuity
Improved energy levels
Improved sexual performance
Greater cardiac output
Increased exercise performance
Improved kidney function
Blood pressure reduced
Improved cholesterol profile
Stronger bones
Younger, tighter, thicker skin
Hair re-growth, or reduced loss
Wrinkle reduction
Reduction and/or Elimination of Cellulite
Enhanced Mood
Increased memory retention
A moderate increase in HGH levels can be naturally achieved by some people, by using exercise, giving attention to their diet, and reducing their body weight to optimum levels. But for most, this is not a solution.
Pure-HGH injections can be used to increase HGH levels but this is seriously expensive. To keep prices low, most of the HGH supplements available contain very low levels of HGH, frequently too low to have a lasting effect. They gain their efficacy by containing mixtures of herbs and homeopathic preparations which naturally prod the pituitary into action.
Recent research indicates that the best method of elevating HGH levels in the body is to stimulate the body to produce more HGH. Rather than directly introduce a large (and expensive) amount of pure HGH into the body, it is possible to stimulate your own pituitary gland to produce more HGH.
If a potential user accepts wants to raise his or her HGH levels and keep aging at bay, how can this be achieved? This usually comes down to things like the cost and/or convenience. If cost is not a factor, then HGH injections will usually be best, but the bother of those regular injections is off-putting to most.
The alternative for most of us is to choose one of the proprietary products available, all of which aim to re-stimulate the pituitary to produce HGH at a higher level. Some of them do this with tablets, pills and/or capsules, while others use direct into-the-mouth sprays. Some HGH products actually DO include small amounts of real HGH to add to the effect, but regulatory restrictions mean that this is a very small amount.
In a later article I will discuss the pros and cons of each method of HGH application. For now I will leave you with a warning: TAKE CARE!
Like many products, it is difficult to tell a genuine HGH Product from a phony just by looking. Sugar pills can be manufactured to look exactly like the real thing, as can sugar-water, and copying the packaging isn't difficult. Get your HGH (in whatever form you choose) from a country where you can be sure that regulations are rigidly enforced, and at the top of that list are: The USA , Canada, The UK and the European Community. I'm not saying that everything else is corrupted, far from it But just be careful!
