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 Options believe it can...

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.
