Let us meet the term Human Growth Hormone or HGH
Human Growth Hormone or simply HGH is the hormone which stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans. It is a protein made up of a chain of 191 amino acids. It is a single chain polypeptide hormone which is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Once released by the pituitary gland it is quickly taken in by the liver and converted into growth factors, the most important one being IGF-1.
HGH is considered “the key” hormone because it controls a wide array of functions and is responsible for youth, vitality, energy and all of the health benefits we associate with youth. These growth factors are the messengers that carry the messages to the cells of the body. This communication regulates the growth of cells, telling them when to live and when to die. Cell reproduction slows unless the cells are prompted by the growth factors of HGH.
In the growing stage, HGH is responsible for proper growth and development. However, once adulthood is reached HGH is still important in that it effects almost every cell of the body and helps to keep the cells and systems healthy regulating functions such as good muscle/fat ratio and high libido and sexual function. However, as age progresses the pituitary gland releases lower and lower amounts of HGH into the bloodstream for the body to use. The amount of human growth hormone released by the pituitary gland after the age of 21 to 31 falls by about 14% per decade. This means that HGH in the body is reduced by half at age 60. On average 20 year olds have a level of about 500 mcg, 40 year olds have about 200 mcg, and 80 year olds have only about 25 mcg of HGH.
This leads to the conclusion that with age, the body literally breaks down and wears out due to the lack of hormones; specifically human growth hormone and its growth factors. And this effect of aging can be reversed with the employment of HGH - Human Growth Hormone which is prescribed and administered by a doctor in the form of injections. Hgh supplements like HgH pills, spray or injections can reverse the process of aging and make one look and feel younger. Aside from the well known youthful effect, it also helps in loosing those extra pounds, acquiring lean muscle, it’s a memory enhancer, mood uplifter, lowers blood pressure, immune system booster, and it has other essential benefits. So, we now seem to have come to terms with HGH. The trail will continue in the next step…….
