Human Growth Hormone - Real Or False

HGH (human growth hormone) is a natural hormone which is created by the Pituitary gland which resides in the middle of the brain. Human Growth Hormone stimulates most other glands in the body to function at maximum.

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

As we leave our teens our bodies produce gradually less HGH. This reduction leads to a host of undesirable side-effects including more body fat, reduce immunity, poor skin tone, reduced libido, and many other symptoms that we usually associate with aging.

Everyone once believed that an aging pituitary gland didn't have the capacity to produce larger amounts of HGH. However, recent studies have shown that a maturing pituitary gland is indeed capable of producing as much HGH as when younger, if it is stimulated to do so.

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

Average increased muscle of nearly 9% over six months (with no exercise)

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

Improved immune function

More rapid wound-healing

Much improved and deeper sleep

Sharper vision

Improved energy levels

Better sexual performance

Greater cardiac output

Improved exercise capability

Better kidney function

Blood pressure reduction

Improved cholesterol

Stronger bone structure

Younger, thicker, more supple skin

Hair re-growth, or reduced loss

Skin wrinkle reduction

Reduction or Elimination of cellulite

Enhanced Mood

Better memory retention

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.

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.

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 ordinary folk is to go for one of the proprietary products available, all of which seek to re-stimulate the pituitary to produce at a higher level. Some do this with tablets, pills or capsules, others by direct into-the-mouth sprays. Some actually DO include small amounts of real HGH to enhance the effect, although regulatory restrictions mean that this is a very small amount indeed.

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!

It is difficult to recognize a genuine HGH Product from a spurious one, just by looking. Sugar capsules can be designed to look precisely like the real thing, also sugar-water, and copying the packaging isn't too difficult either. Always obtain your HGH (whatever the form) from a country with regulations that are rigidly enforced. At the head of such a list will be: USA , Canada, UK, European Community. Don't take this to mean that all else is tarnished, far from it. But please be very careful!
