hGH or Human Growth Hormone is another major player in the staying young game. It is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and here again, its' production decreases as we age. One reason we shrink as we age, hence the term "little old lady" or "little old man" (sic).
Human Growth Hormone does a lot of stuff in our aging bodies which include:
younger, thicker skin, fewer wrinkles
stronger bones
gain in muscle mass, without exercising
loss of body fat, without dieting
bolsters the immune system
regenerates tissue, heals wounds and helps in recovering from surgery
boosts energy
enhances sexual performance
maintains heart health
regrowth of the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs that shrink as we age.
improves kidney function
lowers blood pressure and cholesterol
eliminates cellulite
improves vision
enhances mood
aids memory retention
synthesizes collagen, the stuff that keeps us limber and flexible. Collagen keeps our bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage strong. That's why we get stiff and well, not so limber as we age.
Hey! That's a lot of good stuff to have happening in our old and decrepit bodies. I feel younger just thinking about it. Until recently hGH had to be extracted from the human pituitary gland and could only be injected directly into the bloodstream by a doctor. An expensive proposition, about $2,000 a month. However, researchers have discovered a way to synthesize hGh which is introduced into the body in the form of a spray. Scientifically, there is no proof that these sprays work. Growth hormone according to studies isn't able to pass through the membranes of the mouth. Not much of an option. Natural HGH Releasers: Studies have shown that this method is indeed effective in increasing the levels of HGH in our bodies. They come in pill form like a vitamin. They are taken just before bedtime, as the pituitary gland is most active during sleep.
Be sure they are 100% natural with no synthetic substances, as they are made from a combination of herbs. These herbs activate the pituitary gland and in turn the pituitary gland produces more HGH. Simple!
I think this is a far better alternative to artificially produced synthetic HGH.
There is no need for a prescription and no side effects are known.
From all the above research, it is found that HGH supplements are the best bet if you want to increase the HGH levels in your body.
Again, check the ingredients that are used and quantity of the herbs being used.
**Note from the author: I am not a doctor, a medical researcher or an expert in the field of anti-aging. The information on this website is a result of my own personal experiences. At the age of 59, and after extensive research I began a regimented anti-aging program of my own design with very positive results and no adverse affects. I am currently healthy, disease free, (not so much as a sniffle in 8 yrs) energetic, full of vitality, in good physical condition and (many would say) look younger than my age would suggest. This website is a result of my passion for the subject. Not all of the products discussed here are for everyone. Before launching such a program for yourself please consult your doctor.
