Human Growth Hormone--Is Age Reversal Possible?
What exactly is HGH?
Produced in the body by the pituitary gland, it's what the name says:
the hormone that makes us grow. It is possible to increase HGH levels
by taking dietary supplements. By increasing Human Growth Hormone supplements
into our system our body naturally responds to the impulse to replace
these lost cells. Doctors began prescribing it about 35 years ago for
children who were in need of a growth boost. It first was extracted from
cow carcasses, but several incidents of children contracting mad-cow disease
prompted synthetic production. In 1985, San Francisco-based Genentech
introduced one of the first bioengineered human growth hormone supplemnets,
Protopin. Now five drug companies sell HGH in the USA; top seller Genotropin,
from Pharmacia & Upjohn, had sales totaling over $500 million last
year.
At
first it was considered potent only when prescribed by a doctor and injected,
as opposed to pills or especially sprays offered over the Internet or through
other advertising. An increase of HGH for people typically over 30 can lower blood
pressure, build muscles, increase the skin's elasticity, thicken hair, sharpen
vision, help ensure restful sleep and heighten sexual potency — among other
things. Skeptics point out, however, that potential side effects include joint
pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and fluid retention. Such problems, however, are
generally corrected by adjusting the dosage.
Human Growth Hormone supplement is produced by the Pituitary Gland and
is a very complex molecule. It promotes growth in children and plays an
important role in adult metabolism. The body secretes the hormone, in
decreasing amounts, throughout our lifetimes. The amount of hormone in
the body can be measured by levels of IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor). Growth
hormone has a profound effect on all the cells of the body, more than
any other hormone because it is THE cell generator. HGH 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.
This essential hormone, so plentiful in our youth, decreases dramatically as we
grow older. When we were in our early twenties we generate a new cell for each
one that dies. By the time we reach our fifties we only regenerate one new cell
for every two that die. When we are in our seventies, only one cell is replaced
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.
At age 21, the normal level of circulating human growth hormone is about 10 milligrams
per deciliter of blood, while at age 61 it is only 2 milligrams - an 80% decrease!
It’s human growth hormone that grows the cells, bones, muscles, and organs,
and it is the decreasing level of human growth hormone after age 30 that slowly
robs us of our "youth".
Human Growth Hormone
was first discovered in 1956 and it’s structure was identified in 1972.
It was extracted from cadavers, sold at very high prices, and injected with needles
into the body. About two years ago in mid-1998 the 191 chain Hgh molecule was
genetically engineered in the laboratory. It should be noted that the Federal
Drug Administration does not allow any nutritional product to claim that it can
"cure" any disease. A doctor is permitted to prescribe Human Growth
Hormone to a patient for anti-aging even though it's only approved by the FDA
as a cure for dwarfism. The Pharmaceutical manufacturer is not permitted to suggest
it's use as an anti-aging therapy, only as a treatment for dwarfism.
Human growth hormone is the closest thing man has ever come to discovering the
"Fountain of Youth." Hgh makes us grow by stimulating new cell growth,
and the decrease of Hgh causes our body to "ungrow." To enhance the
amount of Hgh in our bodies would logically enable us to continue to replace the
natural loss of cells. As a result, Hgh is the primary trigger hormone of the
body. Can it stop the Aging Monster and even cause it to recede? We at AgeLess

Human Growth Hormone
Options
There are four kinds of Human Growth Hormone "therapies"
currently on the market. 1) injectables, 2) amino acid stacks pills and powders,
3) oral spays that claim to contain Growth Hormone and very recently in 2003,
4) a pill supplement that that increases your natural production of Growth Hormone
with a GPC and other HgH increasing compounds. Injecting HgH does work, but is
expensive and requires a doctor for approval and monitoring. Oral sprays just
do not work - legally as sold as supplements they cannot contain but a small trace
of Human Growth Hormone. The amino acid stack has been tested with no proven increase
in HgH. The GPC Synergestic Stack as found in AgeLess Growth (Patent Pending)
has proven in recent research to raise HgH by as much as 70 times.
