Information on Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and HGH precursors.
Effect of HGH on cholesterol sub-fractions:
What are Hormones?
Hormones are natural chemical substances made by the glands. They are released into the bloodstream and carried around the body where they cause changes to occur. Hormones are involved in every aspect of the body’s activity.
What is HGH?
Human growth hormone is known as the Master Hormone or the "Hormone of Youth". It controls the release of many other hormones and is made by the pituitary gland in the center of the brain. During childhood it directs the growth of the bones and other parts of the body. In adults, HGH begins to decline steeply with age. This decline is associated with many of the effects of aging. Hundreds of studies have been done on the use of HGH in adults. It has been found to enhance muscle mass, decrease body fat, raise energy levels, increase heart function, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, fortify bones, smooth out wrinkles, sharpen memory, improve sexual function, regenerate damaged tissues, boost the immune system, and improve sleep.
Certain forms of HGH precursors contain a specific combination of amino acids and other nutrients that naturally stimulate the release of your body’s own HGH. It is called a "secretagogue". It causes the pituitary gland to secrete or release more of its own natural HGH. Unlike tablets or capsules, this product is sprayed under the tongue and it goes directly into the bloodstream for faster results.
Who Should Use HGH?
Any adult over 30 who is experiencing the effects of aging and who wants to look and feel younger by reversing the aging process of their body. It is not recommended for persons with health conditions, people taking prescription medicines, or for pregnant or lactating women. HGH therapy has been proven to reverse the changes in body fat, muscle mass, and bone density that take place during 10 to 20 years of aging.
According to the V.A. Medical Center and Department of Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center: "It is possible that chronic physiologic HGH …replacement therapy might reverse or prevent some of these "inevitable" sequelae (results) of aging". (Study of HGH therapy in the elderly - March 1992)
The Kobe University School of Medicine, Kobe, Japan, conducted a study entitled "Effect of …human growth hormone in elderly osteoporotic women". The researchers found that "HGH attenuates (reduces) the decrease in muscle strength and bone mass as well as the gain of abdominal fat with ageing in elderly women. The present data provides useful information about the application of HGH treatment in elderly women."
The New England Journal of Medicine published a study in July 1990 entitled: "Effects of Human Growth Hormone in Men Over 60 Years Old". The researchers concluded that the administration of human growth hormone for six months, was accompanied by an 8.8 percent increase in lean body mass, a 14.4 percent decrease in body fat, and a 1.6 percent increase in bone density. The HGH therapy reversed the changes that would normally take place during 10 to 20 years.
The Department of Endocrinology at the University Medical Center in Ljubljana, Slovenia conducted a study titled: "Growth hormone (GH) treatment reverses early atherosclerotic (cholesterol-clogged arteries) changes in HGH-deficient adults." Their conclusions were that "GH treatment of growth hormone deficient men reverses early functional atherosclerotic changes in the major arteries and, if maintained, may reduce vascular (blood vessel) diseases and deaths".
