HGH

What is Human Growth Hormone (HGH)?

HGH is Human Growth Hormone, one of the most important hormones in the human body.

 

Hormones are "messengers" that are produced by glands and other structures in the human body that stimulate specific activities and metabolic processes.

 

Growth, digestion, reproduction, mood and sexual function are all affected by hormones, and hormones must be balanced to work properly.

 

HGH is critical for tissue healing, muscle growth, bone strength, brain function, physical and mental health, energy, and metabolism.

 

Growth hormone -- or rather the lack of it -- plays a pivotal role in the aging process.

 

Lack of HGH doesn't bring about aging in and of itself, but rather, shortage of HGH accelerates processes that most people would prefer to slow down!

Does HGH always decline as we age?

In a word: yes.

 

Medical researchers long ago noticed that growth hormone levels are at their peak when the body goes through the rapid growth phase of adolescence -- hence the hormone's name.

 

Most human growth hormone secretion -- whether in younger or older people -- takes place in brief bursts called pulses that occur during the early hours of the deepest sleep.

 

Interestingly, growth hormone is present in the bloodstream for only a very few minutes.

 

However, this is long enough to stimulate its uptake into the liver, where it is converted into growth factors that are distributed throughout the body in the bloodstream.

 

Production of Human Growth Hormone is regulated in complex and not fully understood ways -- many factors regulate its release and function -- but one thing is clear: growth hormone declines with age in every animal species that has been tested to date.

 

In humans, the amount of growth hormone after the age of twenty-one to thirty-one falls about 14 percent per decade, so that the total twenty-four-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced by half by the age of sixty.  

What are the symptoms of HGH deficiency?

The decline in human growth hormone is directly tied to the bulging, wrinkling, saggy, flabby, draggy creatures that we all sooner or later start to see in the mirror.

 

Those of us with naturally lower amounts of hormone age much faster and more visibly that those of us who by reason of genes or high exercise level maintain a higher level of HGH for a longer period of time.

 

The loss of the hormone with age is similar to that seen with menopause, and has been given a similar name: somatopause.

 

The medical term for low HGH in adults is Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency -- AGHD.

 

Those suffering from AGHD experience unpleasant symptoms, many of which are not purely physical but related to mental outlook, mood and emotions.

 

This is thought to occur because HGH plays an important part in managing psychological feelings besides helping growth and other physical processes to occur.

 

Some of the most commonly reported symptoms experienced by people with AGHD are:

Physical

 •  Decreased sexual desire

 •  Weight gain

 •  Lack of energy or fatigue

 •  Muscle weakness

 •  Sleep problems

 • 

Psychological

 •  Sadness or depression

 •  Nervousness or anxiety

 •  Withdrawal from others

 •  Feelings of hopelessness

 •  Shyness

Very few people with AGHD experience all of these problems, but if you are experiencing a number of these symptoms you probably have a AGHD deficiency.

 

The good news?

 

There are effective HGH therapies available!

 

How does HGH therapy work?

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) treatment programs are intended for Men and Women over the age of 35 who have symptoms of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD).

 

The primary goals of HGH therapy are

 • To reverse muscle wasting

 •  To reduce weight and body fat after six months, without dieting

 •  To increase lean muscle after six months, without exercise

 •  To increase energy level, endurance and exercise capacity

 •  To increase cardiac output and health

 •  To reduce stress and enhance the immune system

 •  To accelerate wound healing and skin regeneration

 •  To improve memory retention and cognitive functions

 •  To increase speed of recovery from injuries
