General Background Of HGH

HGH was discovered in the 1920s and first isolated in 1956. Human Growth Hormone, HGH, is produced by the Anterior Pituitary under glandular / chemical instructions from the Hypothalamus.

Human Growth Hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. The pituitary gland is also responsible for the production of hormones like testosterone and estrogen. HGH acts on the liver and other tissues to stimulate production of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). HGH is critical to cell growth and our bodies produce a lot of HGH when we’re young to aid in healthy bone and muscle development. Doctors sometimes prescribe HGH supplements for children who aren’t growing properly or who are smaller than average for their age.

Human Growth Hormone is at its peak during adolescence. It continues to be produced throughout our lives however in increasingly diminished amounts.

Growth hormone declines with age in every animal species tested to date. In humans, the amount of growth hormone after age 31 falls about 24% per decade. At the age of 60 our growth hormone production has diminished by 75%.

The fact that Human Growth Hormone production is reduced significantly as we age is a major factor in aging.

Many of the physical / personal changes associated with aging are linked to declining Human Growth Hormone levels.
1.Thin skin and skin wrinkles.
2.Muscle wasting.
3.Abdominal fat.
4.Poor sleep.
5.Cognitive changes.
6.Mood changes.
7.Decreasing energy.
8.Lessened Sexual performance.
9.Weak bones.
10.Reduced Cardiac output.
11.Impaired Kidney function.
