HGH (Human Growth Hormone)
The most potent anti-aging hormone.
A natural substance produced by the pituitary gland
in the brain, HGH controls muscle and bone growth and
reduces the amount of fat circulating in the body.
Again, combined with exercise it causes muscle growth.
Often abbreviated to HGH, this hormone as its name
suggests it is responsible for growth during puberty.
The remarkable clinical action of HGH has meant it is
now a front line treatment in the battle against aging.
This is because HGH levels dramatically decline in
aging. Look at the chart to see a figure depicting the
decline of HGH levels with advancing age.
Dr. Daniel Rudman discovered in 1988 that when HGH was
administered to his elderly patients, that within
several weeks they all noticed significant improvement.
The benefits included enhanced well being, lessened
depression and over a few months noted increased skin
thickness and improved elasticity, as well as a decline
in fat cells and an increase in lean muscle mass.
Since then HGH manufacture has improved and expanded to
enable a significant decrease in cost, although it still
remains "not cheap." The correct chain length of this
amino acid is 191 and it is ONLY effective when taken as
a subcutaneous injection.
Dosage:
Your physician's guidance
and blood monitoring is essential on a
program of HGH, and as usual amounts of this hormone are
highest in our early twenties and decline rapidly as we
age. Physicians administering HGH for preventative/
anti-aging purposes utilize in the region of 0.01mg to
0.02mg of HGH per kg of body weight (2.2 lbs) per week.
This is injected subcutaneously (just under the skin)
divided into 3 to 5 injections per week. It is important
to ensure that blood levels of HGH are monitored before
and during the program and that a full check-up by an
Anti-Aging Physician is performed before the course of
HGH injections begin. If you need to find an Anti-Aging
Physician in your area, we will be pleased to help.
Human growth hormone supplements decline in frequency
and sometimes stop for a period once the patient has
reached a IGF1 blood plasma test equivalent to that of a
21 to 31 year old, again physicians differ on the line,
some advocate
early twenties, others early
thirties measures.
