Human Growth Hormone - Fact or Fantasy?

By: Dr Hannibal Roman HGH (human growth hormone) is a natural hormone. It is created by the Pituitary gland which is at the centre of the brain. HGH stimulates other glands in the body to work to work at maximum efficiency.

Many recent studies have shown that increasing the body's levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can reverse or delay biological aging.

As we enter our 20's our bodies start to produce reducing amounts of HGH. This in turn leads to a multitude of detrimental side-effects such as more body fat, reduce immunity to infection and disease, bad skin, reduced sexual libido, and many other signs that we usually relate to the aging process.

It was once believed that aging pituitary glands didn't have the capacity to produce large amounts of HGH. However, more recent studies have shown that a maturing pituitary gland is capable of producing as much HGH as when it was younger, if it is adequately stimulated.

In many trials, enhanced HGH levels have been shown to give:

Average increased muscle mass of almost 9% over six months (no exercise)

Average 14% fat-loss after six months, (no dieting)

Improved immune function

More rapid wound-healing

Better sleep

Improved visual acuity

Improved energy levels

Better sexual performance

Greater cardiac output

Increased exercise capacity

Better kidney function

Blood pressure reduction

Improved cholesterol

Stronger bones

Younger, thicker skin

Hair re-growth, or reduced loss

Wrinkle-reduction

Reduction and/or Elimination of Cellulite

Mood Improvement

Better memory

A modest raising of HGH levels can be achieved by a few people just by exercise and giving serious attention to their diet, and by reducing their weight to a lower level. But for the rest of us, this is no solution.

In recent years injections of pure HGH have been used to increase HGH levels but this is very expensive. To keep prices down, most of the HGH supplements on the market today contain very low levels of HGH, often too low to have any lasting effect. Those other products contain blends of herbs and homeopathic elements which naturally push the pituitary into greater activity.

More recent research suggests that the best way of elevating HGH levels in a body is to persuade that body to produce more HGH. Other than directly introducing a large (and very expensive) amount of pure HGH into the body, it is also possible to stimulate a pituitary gland to produce more HGH by itself.

If you accept the need, or at least desirability to raise your HGH levels and fend off Old Father Time, the question is then raised of how to achieve it. This usually comes down to mundane considerations like cost and convenience. If cost is no problem, then HGH injections will be the best way, although the bother and stress of constant 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 further article I discuss the pros and the cons of the various methods of HGH ingestion, but for now I will leave you with a warning: BE CAREFUL!

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!
