HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Picture
During childhood the production of HGH is high, but with age the respective glands fail to deliver and lead to poor HGH levels. By the time we reach the age of 30, our Human Growth Hormone levels are only about 20 percent of their peak levels during childhood, and after the age of 30, they continue to decline at about 14 percent per decade. So at 30, our bodies no longer have enough Human Growth Hormone to repair all of the damage that is occurring in our bodies. As our human growth hormone HGH levels continue to decline, so the process of aging continues to gather speed.

In his 1990 Study “Effects of Human Growth Hormone in men over 60 Years Old (New England Journal of Medicine, 1990;323:1), Dr. Rudman showed that 6 months of human growth hormone (hgh) injections reversed aging by 10-20 years in his subjects. This was the first time that any anti-aging therapy had been shown to reverse aging.

In his study, Dr. Rudman injected high levels of recombinant HGH in patients 60 years of age or older. This study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study done on humans. This is one of the highest levels of clinical studies.

ANTI-AGING EFFECTS

Growth Hormone (HGH) is the largest and most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain (the gland that stimulates tissue growth). HGH is also a very complex hormone. It is made up of 191 amino acids. 

Our bodies naturally produce human growth hormone in abundance when we are young, and its production gradually slows over time. The amount of human growth hormone after the age of 21 falls about 14% per decade, so that its production is reduced in half by age 60. Growth Hormone is known to be critical for tissue repair, muscle growth, healing, brain function, physical and mental health, bone strength, energy and metabolism. 
 

Human growth hormone and IGF-1 have been shown to play a significant role in: 

  • Conversion of body fat to muscle mass
  • Improvement in Sleep
  • Wrinkle Reduction and Smoothing
  • Increased Muscle Mass without Exercise
  • Improved Exercise Performance and Tolerance
  • Enhanced Immune System
  • Growth of all tissues
  • Energy level
  • Tissue repair
  • Whole body healing
  • Cell replacement
  • Bone strength
  • Brain function
  • Sexual function
  • Organ health and integrity
  • Enzyme production
  • Integrity of hair, nails, skin and vital organs




TOTAL BENEFITS OF HGH REPLACEMENT THERAPY

The body grows vulnerable to malfunctions such as heart disease, cancer, memory loss, hair loss, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, kidney stones, immune system deficiency, obesity, vision loss, high stress levels. HGH not only helps counter these harmful problems, but protects against them by promoting cellular growth throughout the whole body!

While numerous studies have been done on the effects of HGH injections, one of the most important 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!     

A landmark study was conducted by L. Cass Terry, M.D., Ph.D., and Edmund Chein, M.D. and revealed the following:

Effects of injectable Human Growth Hormone when administered with low dose and high-frequency over a period of six months


  • Higher energy levels
  • Regrowth of heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs that shrink with age
  • Greater cardiac output
  • Better kidney function
  • Lowered blood pressure
  • Improved cholesterol profile, with higher HDL and lower LDL
  • Faster wound healing
  • Younger, tighter, thicker skin
  • Hair regrowth
  • Wrinkle removal
  • Elimination of cellulite
  • Sharper vision
  • Mood elevation

HOW DOES HGH WORK?

Human growth hormone is a protein-based hormone that stimulates cell, bone, and muscle growth.

Human growth hormone is secreted by the somatrope cells of the anterior pituitary gland, located in the brain. HGH is released in a pulsing fashion at intervals throughout the day and night. The largest release of HGH occurs approximately one hour after falling asleep. Human growth hormone is then transported to the liver.

Though HGH can directly affect many receptors in body tissues, most of it is processed in the liver. Once in the liver, a portion of HGH is converted into IGF-1 or Insulin-like Growth Factor, as well as other important growth factors for tissue growth and regeneration. HGH reduces liver absorption of glucose and promotes the conversion of protein structure into glucose-like fuel for the body.

Both HGH and IGF-1 interact with receptors on tissues throughout the entire body. All of the major organs contain these receptors, including the brain. Tissues with the most receptors for HGH and IGF-1 include cartilage, bone and muscles. These growth factors align with bone receptors to encourage calcium and mineral retention. In cartilage, the growth factors react with receptors called chondrocytes in order to stimulate growth. HGH and IGF-1 are also somewhat anabolic, encouraging the growth of muscle tissue. They also encourage fat burning.
