For a fair amount of time I have been reading up about Human Growth Hormones and the dramatic effect that they have on the control of Ageing. I find the subject most fascinating. Yet so many people are totally unaware of this Hormone.



To the subject under the spotlight....

What is Human Growth Hormone exactly?

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced in the pituitary gland of humans, and the hormone is secreted throughout a person's lifetime. It promotes growth in children and plays an important role in adult metabolism. It was first isolated in 1956 and its structure was identified in 1972. Until the mid-1980, the only source of HGH was from pituitary glands collected post mortem. Today HGH is available in larger quantities thanks to the technique of genetic engineering.

Until recently, growth hormone therapy has only been available in the form of injections that are prohibitively expensive and difficult to use. Now there are natural substances (secretagogues) which have been documented to increase growth hormone naturally and may exceed the effectiveness of injection therapy.

Why is Growth Hormone so Important?

Human Growth Hormone, secreted by the pituitary gland, stimulates human growth. It controls the height, the shape and the development of healthy organs. At the age of 25 - the peak time for growth hormone, the total secretion amount is 600mg. The secretion amount will be reduced over the years and can go down to 15% at the age of 60 - 70 years. For people who do not have a balanced diet, the 15% secretion can happen when they are only 40 -50 years old. These people will have older and worn looks than the other people at the same ages.

Total daily hGH secretion declines in humans with increasing age. "Elderly" levels are reached by age 35-40.

Growth Hormone and its effect on Ageing

Growth hormone declines with age in every animal species that have been tested to date. In humans, the amount of growth hormone after the age of 21 to 31 falls about 14% per decade, so that the total 24-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced in half by the age of 60. In numerical values, we produce on a daily basis about 500 micrograms at 20 years of age , 200 micrograms at 40 years , and 25 micrograms at 80 years old.

Controlled studies have shown that increasing the supply of Human Growth Hormone brings about remarkable improvements in many ways, namely:

* Restored muscle mass.

* Decreasing body fat.

* Thickening of the skin, reducing wrinkles.

* Restoration of lost hair.

* Restoration of hair color.

* Increased energy.

* Improved cholesterol profile.

* Restored size of liver, pancreas, heart and

other organs that shrink with age.

* Improved vision.

* Improved memory.

* Elevated mood and improved sleep.

* Normalized blood pressure.

* Increased cardiac output and stamina.

* Improved immune function.

Just take a look at 3 of these benfits in more detail:

Quality of Blood

Hgh will help improve the manufacture of new antibodies, increases production of T-cells and interlukin 2, induces the proliferation of disease fighting white blood cells, stimulates bacteria fighting macrophages and improves production or red blood cells.

Mental and Emotional Well-being

Not only can Hgh reinvigorate your mind, it can just as well reverse your whole attitude, outlook and expectations associated with the aging process. Hgh increases your 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 confidence.

Memory Improvement

Hgh can help to stimulate the rejuvenation and repair of your brain cells. Hgh also affects the proteins produced in the brain for storing your memories. Hgh deficiency has been directly related to the impairment of both long-and short-term memory as well as hand-eye coordination.

Taking in account, the abovementioned observed results, Clinical studies have shown that improving Human Growth Level may help to reverse HUMAN BIOLOGICAL AGEING.

The Medical Community is in general agreement that Human Growth Hormone was one of the most exciting advancements in reversing the disease process since DHEA.

What this all means is that thanks to that availablity of Suppliments that promote the increased natural production of Human Growth Hormone in the the Pituitary, the Master Gland of the body located in the Endocrine system, together with a healthy well balanced diet and wholesome excercise one may truly regain a youthful body and appearance. A big plus, the ability to loose weight more naturally.
