Human Growth Hormone - Fact or Fantasy?

By: Dr Hannibal Roman

HGH (human growth hormone) is a natural hormone. It is created by the Pituitary gland which is at the centre of the brain. HGH stimulates other glands in the body to work to work at maximum efficiency.

Several recent studies have demonstrated how elevating the body's HGH levels can delay or even put into reverse the body's natural aging process.

As we enter our 20's our bodies start to produce reducing amounts of HGH. This in turn leads to a multitude of detrimental side-effects such as more body fat, reduce immunity to infection and disease, bad skin, reduced sexual libido, and many other signs that we usually relate to the aging process.

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

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

An average 14% fat-reduction after six months, (with no dieting)

Improved immune function

More rapid wound-healing

Better sleep

Sharper vision

Improved energy levels

Improved sexual performance

Greater cardiac performance

Improved exercise capability

Better kidney function

Blood pressure reduction

Improved cholesterol profile

Stronger bones

Younger, tighter, thicker skin

Hair re-growth, or arrested loss

Wrinkle reduction

Reduction and/or Elimination of Cellulite

Mood Improvement

Increased memory retention

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.

Pure-HGH injections can be used to increase HGH levels but this is seriously expensive. To keep prices low, most of the HGH supplements available contain very low levels of HGH, frequently too low to have a lasting effect. They gain their efficacy by containing mixtures of herbs and homeopathic preparations which naturally prod the pituitary into action.

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 a potential user accepts wants to raise his or her HGH levels and keep aging at bay, how can this be achieved? This usually comes down to things like the cost and/or convenience. If cost is not a factor, then HGH injections will usually be best, but the bother of those regular injections is off-putting to most.

The alternative for most of us is to choose one of the proprietary products available, all of which aim to re-stimulate the pituitary to produce HGH at a higher level. Some of them do this with tablets, pills and/or capsules, while others use direct into-the-mouth sprays. Some HGH products actually DO include small amounts of real HGH to add to the effect, but regulatory restrictions mean that this is a very 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 products, it is difficult to tell a genuine HGH Product from a phony just by looking. Sugar pills can be manufactured to look exactly like the real thing, as can sugar-water, and copying the packaging isn't difficult. Get your HGH (in whatever form you choose) from a country where you can be sure that regulations are rigidly enforced, and at the top of that list are: The USA , Canada, The UK and the European Community. I'm not saying that everything else is corrupted, far from it But just be careful!
