About HGH - Human Growth
Hormones Hormones are tiny chemical messengers continuously secreted into the blood stream by endocrine glands to regulate activities of vital organs. The word, hormone, is derived from a Greek word meaning, "to stimulate." Hormones stimulate a multitude of life-giving processes throughout the body, which maintain health, harmony, growth, healing and repair. During adolescence, when growth is most rapid, production of HGH is very high. That is why it was named "growth hormone." Even after growth stops, however, growth hormone must continue to be present (at somewhat lower levels) throughout life to maintain physical and mental health and well-being. Tissue repair, healing, cell replacement, organ integrity, bone strength, brain function, enzyme production, integrity of hair, nails, skin and vital organs all require the ongoing availability of adequate growth hormone. After age 20, growth hormone production falls progressively and consistently at an average rate of about 14% per decade. By age 60, it is not uncommon to measure a growth hormone loss of 75% or more. Physical decline with age correlates directly with decreased secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Benefits from growth hormone replacement reported in the scientific literature include increased muscle mass, improved physical strength, reduced fatigue, decreased fat (especially abdominal fat), increased bone strength, and revitalization of liver, kidney, spleen, and brain functions. Skin regains a more youthful appearance with fewer wrinkles and sexual functioning improves. Cholesterol decreases and cartilage in joints becomes stronger. Osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are improved.
