The Benefits Of HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

1. Loss of fat and increase in muscle.
2. Reduces LDL (Bad) Cholesterol
3. Bone Density improvements and overall improvement of connective tissue, muscle and healing potential of the body.
4. Improved Excerise Capacity and Cardiac Function
5. Improved Oxygen Uptake

Body Composition 

Growth hormone therapy results in profound changes in body composition: fat mass is reduced while lean body mass increases. Growth hormone, at the relatively low dose was shown to normalize lean body mass over 6 months in 24 adults with HGH deficiency. The improvement in lean body mass is associated with increased protein synthesis, muscle mass and muscle function. Total body fat also decreases after 6 months of HGH administration. The decline in fat mass is most significant in the lower abdomen and trunk, compared to the arms, neck and legs. This suggests that HGH replacement therapy may reverse the central abdominal fat mass associated with HGH deficiency and decrease an individual’s cardiovascular risk. 

While numerous studies have been done on the effects of HGH injections, the most ground breaking study was done by Dr. Rudman and published in the New England Journal of Medicine on July 5, 1990. The journal reported that men who had taken HGH injections had shown an 8.8 percent gain in lean body mass with a 14 percent loss in body fat - without any change in diet or activity! It bears repeating that there was no change in diet or exercise - and the subjects who received HGH injections had an 8.8 percent increase in lean body mass.

Cardiovascular and Lipid Metabolism

HGH replacement in adults may have a beneficial effect on lipids. In a recent study, it was reported that short courses of HGH reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol while it improved exercise capacity and cardiac function. Patients showed increased oxygen uptake and power output during cycling. HGH is associated with increased muscle mass and longer and stronger action on the treadmill. Recent work by Fazio demonstrated an improvement in heart failure patients given high dose HGH replacement.

Bone Density

One of HGH’s most dramatic effects is on the connective tissue, muscle, and healing potential of the skeletal system. Fragile skin with ulcers, fractured bones that do not heal, and profound gains in muscle strength have been noted. Not only does the skin look younger with less wrinkles, some report a regrowth of hair on the head. For growth hormone, DHEA, and testosterone are clearly anabolic hormones: they build tissue. And with increased age, our bodies break down tissue faster than we can repair them. This is called catabolism. Therefore, HGH tends to reverse the catabolic state.

The potential role of HGH in the maintenance of the skeleton is its ability to make and repair these tissues. HGH stimulates osteoblast (bone) and fibroblast (supporting tissue) proliferation.  It  appears that HGH administration may act to improve skeletal repair of not only bone and skin but all organs as well. Many report there 'old age spots', skin "senile keratosis" disappear within two months of HGH therapy.

What is Human Growth Hormone ( HGH )

Human Growth Hormone ( HGH ) is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland (pituitary is one of the endocrine glands). The pituitary gland is located in the center of the brain. HGH is also a very complex hormone. It is made up of 191 amino acids - making it fairly large for a hormone. In fact, it is the largest protein created by the Pituitary gland.

Growth Hormone is known to be critical for tissue repair, muscle growth, healing, brain function, physical and mental health, bone strength, energy and metabolism. In short, it is very important to just about every aspect of our life!

Basically, anything that goes on in your body is in some way tied to HGH. This is why HGH is often called the "fountain of youth". Elevated HGH levels are what make you feel young again.

HGH secretion reaches its peak in the body during adolescence. This makes sense because HGH helps stimulate our body to grow. But, HGH secretion does not stop after adolescence. Our body continues to produce HGH usually in short bursts during deep sleep.

The good news is that your body must always produce HGH or you would not be able to function. The bad news is that as you get past about 20 years old, your body produces less and less HGH each year. By age 60 you will probably have lost 75% of the HGH that your body produced.

A doctor  can do a daily injection of HGH and it will lead to an overall increase of growth hormone in the body. It is important to understand that recombinant HGH is recommended to be injection only. Human growth hormone is a 191 chain amino acid hormone that is too delicate to be made in used effectively in oral form (pill, powder, spray, etc).
 

Possible Side Effects

Anytime you introduce a large amount of a foreign hormone into the body there is the risk of side effects.

The dose of HGH is an important consideration in the therapy of acquired HGH-deficiency. Large, pharmacological doses of HGH are often associated with the clinical signs of HGH excess, including fluid retention, carpal tunnel, and hypertension. However, by incorporating smaller, physiological such symptoms are not noted. Low dose HGH replacement is associated with minimal side-effects.
