HGH - Human Growth Hormone and Supplements - The Facts

What is HGH?

Over the years there have been many questions raised about HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Especially when taken as a supplement. I will simplify and explain to the best of my knowledge what natural HGH is, what it does and the benefits derived from increasing growth hormone levels with the use of supplements.

Let’s begin by defining what Growth Hormone is.

Growth hormone is a protein-based, amino acid hormone. It is naturally produced and continually secreted by the pituitary gland of the brain. It stimulates growth and is the hormone responsible for cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. Somatotropin refers to the growth hormone produced within animals, whereas the term somatropin refers to the growth hormone produced within humans and is abbreviated "rhGH" or HGH.

What Does The Human Growth Hormone Do?

HGH is believed to be the controlling hormone of many functions and benefits associated with youth, such as good health, smooth skin, energy and resilience. It is the “master hormone” controlling many organs and body functions and is directly responsible for stimulating tissue repair, cell replacement, brain functions, and enzyme function. During our childhood years, HGH levels are at their highest, then peak at adolescence, and begin to decline as we grow older. Beyond the age of 30, natural levels of HGH decrease dramatically, about 14% per decade. As levels continue to drop, the aging process accelerates. Typically, by the age of 61, HGH levels decrease to 80% less than what they were at the age of 21.

Cell Replacement

When we are in our early twenties, we regenerate a new cell for each one that dies. By the time we reach our fifties, we regenerate one new cell for every two that die. When we are in our seventies, we regenerate one new cell for every three or four that die. We appear to shrink at this time in our lives because we lose one to two million cells per day, which are not being replaced.

Can This Be Reversed?

Human Growth Hormone is the closest thing man has ever come to discovering the “Fountain of Youth” (not clinically proven). It makes us grow by stimulating new cell growth. Increasing the natural amount of HGH in our bodies may enable us to continue to replace the natural loss of cells. With this, the body may be able to “reverse” certain symptoms associated with aging such as, weight gain, wrinkles, loss of lean muscle, bone density and sex drive.

Benefits of Human Growth Hormone

The following list contains some effects that may be obtained when HGH levels are increased in our body by the use of supplements (results may vary from person to person):

  • Increase energy
  • Give a sense of well being
  • Regenerate heart, liver, kidneys and lungs
  • Improve sleeping pattern
  • Improve skin texture and elasticity
  • Restore youthful hair color
  • May help restore libido, and sexual performance
  • Enhance mood
  • Restore bone and muscle mass
  • Help in weight loss by decreasing fat
  • Reduce wrinkles
  • Increase hair growth
  • Reduce blood pressure and cholesterol

Extensive research has brought us to understand that HGH is indeed a vital part of our lives. We know what it does and how we can aid the process through proper supplementation. My personal view? I will certainly give it a try. Along with proper diet and exercise, that list of benefits can go a long way in my books.
