Human Growth Hormone - Truth or Lies?

HGH (human growth hormone) is one of the body's natural hormones. It is produced by the Pituitary gland at the centre of the brain. HGH in turn stimulates other glands and processes around the body to work to 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 exit our teen years our bodies produce increasingly less HGH. This leads to a host of unwanted side-effects including increased body fat, decreased immunity, poor skin tone, decreased libido, and the many other symptoms we usually associate with aging. Experts once thought that an aging pituitary gland did not have the facility to produce greater amounts of HGH. However, more recent studies show that a maturing pituitary really is indeed capable of producing as much HGH as when it was much younger, but only when it is stimulated to do so. In clinical trials, increased HGH has been shown to give:

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

An average 14% fat-reduction (over six months, and with no dieting)Superior immune function. Quicker wound-healing

Deeper and improved sleep

Sharper vision

Raise energy levels

Superior sexual performance

Greater cardiac performance

Increased exercise capacity

Improved kidney function

Blood pressure reduction

Lowered cholesterol readings

Stronger bone structure

Younger, tighter, thicker skin

Hair re-growth, or reduced loss

Wrinkle reduction

Reduction or Elimination of cellulite

Mood Improvement

Better memory

A modest increase in HGH levels can be achieved naturally by some people, by exercise, careful attention to diet, and by reducing their body weight to optimum levels. But for most of us this is not a solution we can manage to achieve.

Injections of pure HGH can be used to raise HGH levels but this is pretty expensive. To keep prices reasonable, most HGH supplements on the market contain very low levels of HGH, frequently too low to have a lasting effect. These products achieve their results by delivering mixtures of herbs and homeopathic remedies which naturally nudge the pituitary into greater performance.

The latest research suggests that the best way of increasing HGH levels is to get the body to produce more HGH. Other than introducing a large and expensive amount of pure HGH directly into the body, it is also possible to persuade a pituitary gland to produce more HGH on its own.

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 the rest of us is to choose a proprietary product, all of them aim to re-stimulate the pituitary to operate at a higher level. Some of them use with pills, tablets or capsules, others use into-the-mouth sprays. A few HGH products DO include a small amount of genuine HGH to improve their effect, but unfortunately government regulatory restrictions keep this is a small amount.

In a later article I will discuss the pros and cons of each method of HGH application. For now I will leave you with a warning: TAKE CARE!

Like many other products, it is impossible to tell the genuine HGH Product from the phony just by looking. Sugar pills can be made to look exactly like the real thing, so can sugar-water, and copying the packaging isn't much harder. Get your HGH (in whatever form) from a country where you know that regulations and inspections are regular and rigid, and at the top of that list are: The USA and Canada, The UK and European Community. I'm not saying that everything else is dodgy, far from it Just be careful!
