HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (HGH)

What is Human Growth Hormone?

It is part of Hormone Replacement Therapy, which is a leading treatment these days to help prevent and in many cases reverse the damage caused by (AGHD). This is how Human Growth Hormone is involved.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the process by which vital hormones such as human growth hormone and testosterone are replaced in a prescribed schedule to mimic the body's natural process. Early detection of insufficient hormone levels is the first step in the prevention of aging related diseases and the best chance we have to enhance our quality of life and longevity.

You may already know that the essentials for optimal health and longevity are proper nutrition, exercise, and natural hormone replacement balance. Today, about 77 percent of the population born after the 1940's, is made up of adults 35 years and older - many of these adult men and women are experiencing symptoms of (AGHD) Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency.

AGHD is a condition that occurs when the production of natural hormones decline in aging adults sometime after the age of 30 years of age. Andropause in men and Menopause in women are two medical conditions that demonstrate low hormone levels. Human growth hormone (HGH) is one of the principal hormones needed by the human body to maintain the proper balance of fat, muscle, and bone density in aging adults.

HGH Benefits • 9% Increase in lean muscle • 14% Reduction in Body Fat • Lowers Cholesterol • Lowers Blood Pressure • Removes Wrinkles • EliminatesCellulite • Improves Kidney Function * Results may vary

HGH Therapy Potentially every individual is a candidate for human growth hormone (HGH) therapy and it can benefit from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

More specifically, studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine prove that HGH can:

• Shed Bodyfat
• Increase Muscle Tone
• Boost your Energy, Strength, and Endurance
• Reduce Wrinkles and Create Tighter, Smoother Skin

• Help you Sleep Better
• Improve Sex Drive and Performance
• Improve Immune and Heart Function, Bone Density, Healing Time and Cholesterol
• Improve Brain Function, Memory and Mental Focus

WHAT IS HGH AND HOW CAN IT AFFECT YOU?

HGH is produced by the pituitary gland in the center of the brain. Everyone naturally has HGH in their body from birth. During adolescence, when we are at an optimal youthful condition, production of HGH is high. However, your HGH levels peak somewhere between the ages of 21 and 30 and then aggressively decline at the alarming rate of 14% per decade.

Research has shown that virtually every adult is HGH deficient. By the age of 40 you may already have “elderly” levels of HGH production, down as much as 50% of youthful levels.

Declining HGH Levels = Accelerated Aging

There is now a strong body of medical evidence that the decline of HGH is linked to many of the markers of aging or getting older:

  

The Signs of Aging Linked to Declining HGH Levels Increased Bodyfat Decreased Lean Muscle Tissue Decreased Energy Diminished Immune System Decreased Sexual Performance Decreased Cardiac Output Decreased Libido Loss of Hair or Hair Color Decreased Skin Elasticity Wrinkles and Cellulite Decline in Mental Function Decline in Memory Decline in Vision/Eyesight Decreased Bone Mass and Density Decreased Strength Decreased Exercise Performance High Blood Pressure Undesirable Cholesterol Profile Poor Sleep Slower Rate of Healing Joint Pain   AND MORE.......

In other words, there appears to be a direct relationship between declining HGH levels and how much you will feel the effects of aging. When Dr. Daniel Rudman, M.D., of the Medical College  of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, conducted a ground breaking HGH research study in 1991 he concluded:

"We reversed 10 to 20 years of the aging process--fat diminished, muscle tissue increased."

COST

Injectable HGH costs approximately $1,000 to $2,000 per month

INJECTIONS

The best study apparently to date demonstrated that to maximize benefits and minimize side effects, people injected it two times per day, six days per week.

Still, Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy Is Worthy To Consider

Hgh replacement therapy is quickly going to the forefront of anti-aging medicine. It has been shown that as we age our bodies natural GH production decreases. Many of the effects of aging are seen as a result of this decrease. More important, clinical evidence and recent medical research clearly demonstrate that by replacing Human Growth Hormone in IGF-1 deficient adults, we can significantly eliminate these symptoms, reverse the biological effects of aging, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen the heart and improve sexual performance. No other substance known to medical science has been shown continually to deter and reverse the process of aging. You can reasonably look to reversing ten to twenty years of age decline with one year of continual therapy.

Next, I separate natural rejuvenation therapies into three categories. Here they are and what may be positive or negative about them.

CATEGORY 1:
Non-Homeopathic Rejuvenation Products

The majority of natural HGH products are referred to as “HGH releasers”, “HGH Precursors” and “HGH Secretagogues”. Most of these products are nothing more than glorified amino acid supplements that have been around forever that are now trying to capitalize on the popularity of HGH at over-inflated prices. Not only do they normally CONTAIN NO INGREDIENTS THAT OPTIMIZE PITUITARY AND LIVER FUNCTION, THE TWO GLANDS INVOLVED IN HGH PRODUCTION, but according to a very informative book by Dr. H.A. Davis dealing with natural supplementation:

“30% of patients tested DO NOT respond these GH...‘releasers’ or ‘secretagogues’. They have been around a long time and, in many cases, have never yielded the same quality and consistent results.”

Dr. Davis concluded he felt that homeopathy is the safest, most sophisticated form of natural supplementation by combining “years of scientific research with the benefits of safety and effectiveness." Homeopathy has been around for over centuries and has an incredible track record of sound medical science, safety and effectiveness.

That brings us to two types of homeopathic products that might be useful, (1) Homeopathic formulas without ingredients that address healthy liver function and (2) Homeopathic formulas with ingredients that address healthy liver function. For the reasons you’ll see below, it is best to choose one of the two. Take a look.

CATEGORY 2:
Homeopathic Formulas Without an Ingredient to
Address Healthy Liver Function

Who can recommend this type of product? Once you understand how critical the liver is to your health, which we’ll discuss in Category 3 below, you’ll understand why.

CATEGORY 3:
Homeopathic Formulas That Include Ingredients to
Address Healthy Liver Function

This type of product appears to be the best natural option you can buy. Let’s face it, there are many products that may provide multiple rejuvenating benefits, but if you find one that gives you those rejuvenating benefits AND has been formulated to provide healthy liver support, that’s an unbeatable combination.

A good doctor will tell you, it’s safety and health first, and everything else second. Take one quick look at the importance of healthy liver function and all the things that your liver is responsible and you’ll instantly understand why this appears to be so important for rejuvenation, long-term health and prevention.

A healthy liver is so important that you can only survive for a few days if it shuts down—if the liver fails, your body will fail, too. It does many important things to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here’s a partial list of what your liver does:

• Helps digest food and absorb nutrients from the food you eat including vitamins, sugars and other nutrients for optimum health and energy
• Produces immune factors to combat infection and keep you healthy
• Breaks down and removes harmful substances, like alcohol, drugs, bacteria and other toxic (poisonous) substances from your body
• Makes sure that your body has just the right amount of other chemicals that it needs for healthy function
• Controls the production and removal of cholesterol
• Helps control bleeding by making clotting factors

The problem is that our organs weaken and shrink with age and the liver is one of the  largest organs in your body.

WHAT HGH SCAMS
SHOULD YOU AVOID?

SCAM #1

“This Product Contains Real HGH.”

Several companies say their product contains a “huge” dose of 1500 to 2000 nanograms (ng) of real HGH. The truth is that there is no such thing as high potency non-prescription HGH.

First and foremost, it is a violation of Federal Law to sell any product that contains HGH without a prescription. It’s illegal! The Department of Justice has already prosecuted at least one company for the illegal sale of growth hormone without prescription that was not in injectable form (not this specific company). If you want the benefits of the injectable drug version of HGH, you have to get a prescription from a medical doctor.

SCAM #2

“This Product Enhances Natural HGH Production...
HGH Enhancers, Releasers and Secretagogues”

The majority of natural HGH products are referred to as “HGH releasers”, “HGH Precursors” and “HGH Secretagogues”. Most of these products are, again, nothing more than glorified amino acid supplements that have been around forever that are now trying to capitalize on the popularity of HGH at over-inflated prices. In fact, according to a very informative book by Dr. H.A. Davis dealing with natural supplementation:

“30% of patients tested DO NOT respond to these GH...‘releasers’ or ‘secretagogues’. [These non-homeopathic products] have been around a long time and, in many cases, have never yielded the same quality and consistent results.”

These products are usually marketed with the approach of showing you studies and quotes from doctors and researchers about the benefits of INJECTABLE HGH, then telling you that you don’t need to spend large amounts of money for the drug because their product can give you the same benefits. But their products normally have never undergone any clinical testing at all.

SCAM #3

Many of the Studies and Testimonials Are
Not About Their Product!

Most HGH products cite medical research and doctor testimonials that are NOT about their product!

Take a close look. Are the studies and testimonials about the product they are selling or injectable HGH? If they are about that company’s product, they will definitely let you know.

SCAM #4

If You Need Homeopathic…

Some Products Claiming to Be Homeopathic
May Not Be Truly Homeopathic!

There is some recognition out there that homeopathic HGH is the most effective way to naturally get HGH benefits. This has led some companies to say their HGH products are "homeopathic-like", while others claim that they are "homeopathic" just because the formula contains small amounts of HGH.

The process of making a true, effective and safe homeopathic HGH product is very sensitive and scientific. The only way to be confident that the product you are using is in fact homeopathic and lives up to federal manufacturing processes is to verify several issues…

1.              Is the product manufactured at a  facility is registered with and subject to inspection by both the Food and Drug Administration and the State Department of Health?

2.              Are the raw materials used subjected to identity and purity testing?

3.              Is the formula tested according to procedures outlined in the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia (the international standard adopted by US manufacturers) once the mother tincture has been created?

4.              Is the final product batch tested for purity before it leaves the facility?

If the company doesn’t mention these issues on their site, call and ask them to see how they measure up so you can make an informed decision for yourself.

SCAM #5

Be Careful of Low Priced Products.
You Might Get What You Pay For!

The effectiveness of any natural product is tied directly to the quality of ingredients used, along with controlled manufacturing methods, and a well researched formulation in specific quantities designed to heighten effectiveness. If it uses inferior quality raw ingredients or isn’t manufactured at a premium facility using strict standards, it’s going to be cheaper. But would you want to put it in your body? Inferior products give inferior results.

SCAM #6

Beware of products that try to copy REALLY GOOD alternatives by using the same list of ingredients on the label.

There are a number of products on the market that contain some of the same ingredients as the really effective ones.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PRODUCT WILL BE AS SAFE, EFFECTIVE OR MANUFACTURED WITH THE SAME INTEGRITY!

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of combinations of the ingredients in the best ones, depending on where a company sources the ingredients from. And, of course, there can be a huge quality difference in ingredients with the same name. Don’t be fooled by copycat products.

History Of HGH

It was discovered roughly a half century ago, but it wasnt until sometime in the 1970s that researchers and scientists actually figured out the job of HGH in the human body. For those in-between years, HGH remained an enigma compound? Even though it had been isolated in the human body, it remained a mystery substance.

First of all...

HGH is a protein compound, produced exclusively in one portion of the pituitary gland. Even after researchers knew the basics that its a protein and where the human body produced it there was argument over the part it played in the body. When researchers figured out that HGH had an significant role in regular growth, the race was on to figure out what the role was and how it could be used to assist those who faced issues with growth.

In simpler terms...

Its not a huge step between learning the role of HGH and using it as a treatment for kids who weren’t growing at a conventional rate. Increasing the quota of HGH for those children who otherwise may not have grown sufficiently to do the things normal adults do drive a car, for example became a way to positively effect the lives of those youngsters. But the early days of those treatments were restricted by researchers capacity to successfully duplicate the HGH compound.

Incidentally...

At first, HGH was first exclusively accessible by collecting the HGH compound from the pituitary glands of cadavers. Post extraction, the natural human growth hormone had to be processed and injection was the only way to introduce further HGH into a person who required it. This type of human growth hormone supplement treatment was costly, time exhausting and limited. Only medical professionals could determine who should receive HGH therapy, and the known benefits were limited.

One of the first things discovered about HGH is that its in the body of youthful children in abundance. As individuals got older, the HGH in their body decreased. While that sounds like a customary move in the course of aging, people soon thought to question whether increasing the amount of HGH in the body would be supportive also to older people.

Other Protiens

HGH isn’t the only compound in the body that decreases as we age. You’ve probably heard of some of the other significant proteins that are plentiful in young people but less abundant as we age. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are amongst those compounds that are sometimes supplemented to help older people feel younger and healthier. The HGH protein compound is similarly beneficial as a dietary supplement.
Anti aging is one of the benefits of HGH in adults. It can also drive more energy and enhance stamina.

What are hormones?
Hormone, secretory substance carried from one gland or organ of the body via the bloodstream to more or less specific tissues, where it exerts some influence upon the metabolism of the target tissue. Normally, various hormones are produced and secreted by the endocrine glands (see endocrine system), including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, ovaries, testes, pancreatic islets, certain portions of the gastrointestinal tract, and the placenta, among the mammalian species.

 As lack of any one of them may cause serious disorders, many hormones are now produced synthetically and used in treatment where a deficiency exists. The hormones of the anterior pituitary include thyrotropin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, the gonadotropic hormones, and growth hormone; the posterior pituitary secretes antidiuretic hormone, prolactin, and oxytocin. The thyroids secrete thyroxine and calcitonin, and the parathyroids secrete parathyroid hormone.

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine while the cortex of the same gland releases aldosterone, corticosterone, cortisol, and cortisone. The ovaries primarily secrete estrogen and progesterone and the testes testosterone. The adrenal cortex, ovaries, and testes in fact produce at least small amounts of all of the steroid hormones. The islets of Langerhans in the pancreas secrete insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin.

The kidneys also produce erythropoietin, which produces erythrocytes (red blood cells). The passage of chyme (see digestive system) from the stomach to the duodenum causes the latter to release secretin, which stimulates the flow of pancreatic juice. The duodenum can also be stimulated by the presence of fats in the chyme to secrete cholecystokinin, a hormone that stimulates the gall bladder to contract and release bile.

 

There is evidence that the upper intestine secretes pancreatozymin, which enhances the amount of digestive enzymes in the pancreatic juice. In addition, the pyloric region of the stomach secretes gastrin, a hormone that increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid into the stomach. The placenta has been shown to secrete progesterone and chorionic gonadotropin. There is evidence that it even contains a substance similar to growth hormone.

Insects have a unique hormonal system that includes ecdysone, a steroid that influences molting and metamorphosis, and juvenile hormone, needed for early development. Plants, too, have a hormonal system, which includes the auxins, the gibberellins, the cytokinins, and substances associated with the formation of flowers, tubers, bulbs, and buds. Ethylene is said to function as a hormone in plants, acting to hasten the ripening of fruits.

Growth Hormone levels?
The hormone most often said to affect aging and promote anti-aging is growth hormone. Growth hormone plays a pivotal but ³intermediate² role in the anti- aging process. The lack of this hormone doesn¹t bring about aging, but rather, the hormone lies in the middle of the aging cascade. Giving supplemental growth hormone to the aging body will restore some lost muscle mass and redistribute fat within the body, however it will not affect many other common aging changes, such as hair loss.

Researchers had long noticed that growth hormone hits its peak when the body goes through the rapid growth phase during adolescence. Hence the hormone¹s name. Most growth hormone secretion takes place in brief bursts called pulses that occur during the early hours of the deepest sleep. Indeed the old adage that you grow while you sleep appears to have a basis in fact.

Interestingly, growth hormone hangs around in the bloodstream for a very few minutes. However, this is long enough to stimulate its uptake into the liver, where it is converted into growth factors. Regulation of Growth Hormone is complex and comes under the control of many factors that regulate its release and function. Growth hormone declines with age in every animal species that has been tested to date. In humans, the amount of growth hormone after the age of twenty-one to thirty-one falls about 14 percent per decade, so that the total twenty-four-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced by half by the age of sixty.

Effects of Growth Hormone decline
The decline in growth hormone is directly tied to the bulging, wrinkling, saggy, flabby, draggy creatures that we all sooner or later start to see in the mirror. Those of us with naturally lower amounts of hormone age much faster and more visibly that those of us who by reason of genes or high exercise level maintain a higher level of secretion for a longer period of time. The loss of the hormone with age is similar to that seen with menopause. And it has been given a similar name, the somatopause.

Health Tips About Using HGH

• BEGIN WITH SMALL DOSES Like many hormones, HGH is very potent. More is not better. If you are just starting HGH replacement therapy, begin with small doses in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mg per day. Remember that the goal of HGH replacement therapy is to restore your HGH production level.
• WATCH FOR ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS: Almost all adverse effects of HGH (water retention, sore muscles, numbness in the hands) are related to doses that are too high. If you are retaining water, ask your physician about lowering your dosage. Prolonged overproduction of HGH can cause serious side effects. This can occur in adults who have a hormonal disorder call acromegaly. The disorder is characterized by abnormal growth of the hands and feet. Soft tissue swelling of the hands and feet is often an early symptom, with patients noticing a change in ring or shoe size. If you notice any signs associated with acromegaly, consult your physician (preferably an endocrinologist).
• EXERCISE: If you don't have an exercise program, start one. It doesn't have to be at a gym. Find a program that fits your life---walking, swimming, sports---anything that provides a reasonable workout several times a week. Studies have shown that HGH replacement therapy is more effective for people who exercise regularly.
• MULTIPLE VITAMINS: Continue with a good multiple vitamin program that includes Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
• SLEEP: Sleep is important to good health and it appears that several anti-aging hormones are produced at higher levels during sleep than during waking hours.
• WATCH YOUR WEIGHT: HGH replacement therapy is not a diet program. Well it does tend to build muscle and reduce fat, many users find that they have an increased appetite.
• SKIN AND SUN: When you are in the Sun, use sun protection. Use a good skin lotion morning and night. Consider using an "age-defying" lotion like that produced by Ponds or Oil of Olay.
• DON'T SMOKE: If you have started HGH replacement therapy to look better, then don't smoke. Among other things, smoking makes your skin look older.
• WATER: Drink plenty of water---every day!

What is a Gene?
Gene, the structural unit of inheritance in living organisms. A gene is, in essence, a segment of DNA that has a particular purpose, i.e., that codes for (contains the chemical information necessary for the creation of) a specific enzyme or other protein. The strands of DNA on which the genes occur are organized into chromosomes. The nucleus of each eukaryotic (nucleated) cell has a complete set of chromosomes and therefore a complete set of genes.

Each gene provides a blueprint for the synthesis (via RNA) of enzymes and other proteins and specifies when these substances are to be made. Genes govern both the structure and metabolic functions of the cells, and thus of the entire organism and, when located in reproductive cells, they pass their information to the next generation. Chemically, each gene consists of a specific sequence of DNA building blocks called nucleotides.

Each nucleotide is composed of three subunits: a nitrogen-containing compound, a sugar, and phosphoric acid. Geometrically, the gene is a double helix formed by the nucleotides. Gene loci are often interspersed with segments of DNA that do not code for proteins; these segments are termed "junk DNA. When junk DNA occurs within a gene, the coding portions are called exons and the noncoding (junk) portions are called introns.

Junk DNA makes up 97% of the DNA in the human genome, and, despite its name, is necessary for the proper functioning of the genes. Each chromosome of each species has a definite number and arrangement of genes. Alteration of the number or arrangement of the genes can result in mutation. When the mutation occurs in the germ cells (egg or sperm), the change can be transmitted to the next generation. Mutations that affect somatic cells can result in certain cancers.

The scientific study of inheritance is genetics. The genetic makeup of an organism with reference to its set of genetic traits is called its genotype. The interaction of the environment and the genotype produces the observable attributes of the organism, or its phenotype. The sum total of the genes contained in an organism's full set of chromosomes is termed the genome. Scientists are working toward identifying the location and function of each gene in the human genome.

The decoding of the first free-living organism (a bacterium, Hemophilus influenza) was completed in 1995 by J. Craig Venter and Hamilton Smith.

What is Gene Therapy?
Gene therapy, the use of genes and the techniques of genetic engineering in the treatment of a genetic disorder or chronic disease. There are many techniques of gene therapy, all of them still in experimental stages. The two basic methods are called in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy.

The in vivo method inserts genetically altered genes directly into the patient; the ex vivo method removes tissue from the patient, extracts the cells in question, and genetically alters them before returning them to the patient. The challenge of gene therapy lies in development of a means to deliver the genetic material into the nuclei of the appropriate cells, so that it will be reproduced in the normal course of cell division and have a lasting effect.

One technique involves removing cells from a patient, fortifying them with healthy copies of the defective gene, and reinjecting them into the patient. Another involves inserting a gene into an inactivated or nonvirulent virus and using the virus's infective capabilities to carry the desired gene into the patient's cells. A liposome, a tiny fat-encased pouch that can traverse cell membranes, is also sometimes used to transport a gene into a body cell.

Another approach employing liposomes, called chimeraplasty, involves the insertion of manufactured nucleic acid molecules (chimeraplasts) instead of entire genes to correct disease-causing gene mutations. Once inserted, the gene may produce an essential chemical that the patient's body cannot, remove or render harmless a substance or gene causing disease, or expose certain cells, especially cancerous cells, to attack by conventional drugs.

Gene therapy was first used in humans in 1990 to treat a child with adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA), a rare hereditary immune disorder (see immunity). It is hoped that gene therapy can be used to treat cancer, genetic diseases, and AIDS, but there are concerns that the immune system may attack cells treated by gene therapy, that the viral vectors could mutate and become virulent, or that altered genes might be passed to succeeding generations.

In the United States, gene therapy techniques must be approved by the federal government. The Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee of the National Institutes of Health oversees gene therapy experiments. Like drugs, products must pass the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration. Gene therapy is a competitive and potentially lucrative field, and patents have been awarded for certain techniques.

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is known to be critical for tissue repair, muscle growth, healing, brain function, physical and mental health, bone strength, energy and metabolism. In short, it is very important to just about every aspect of our life!

Being the master hormone, HGH affects virtually all areas of the body influencing the growth of cells, bones, muscles and organs. When deficient in growth hormone our symptoms include loss of muscle, decreased energy, an increase in fat, diminished sexual drive, a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and a lower life expectancy. In other words, the symptoms we call aging.

hGH helps strenghten the immune system - HGH will help you improve the manufacturer of new antibodies, increases production of T-cells, induces the proliferation of disease fighting white blood cells, stimulates bacteria fighting macrophages and improves production or red blood cells.

hGH helps rejuvenates hair, nails and skin - HGH appears to have more of a tonic effect on hair. In clinical tests 38% reported new hair growth, coming in faster and thicker, and even in its natural color. HGH can help take a decade or so off your face. Your skin regains thickness and youthful contours as it becomes more elastic and hydrated and you would start looking visibly younger. Your nails will be strengthened and HGH has even been found to re-grow burned skin and close ulcerated wounds.

hGH helps protect cells - Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, etc., can remove oxygen free radicals keep the proteases (destructive enzymes that cause cell damage) from becoming active. But growth hormone can act on the proteases directly. HGH activates a cellular defense force called protease inhibitors, which prevent free radicals from doing their deadly work.

hGH helps burn fat and reduce cellulite - The most effective anti-obesity "agent" ever discovered, HGH getting up the metabolism to former highs, selectively reducing the abdomen, waist, thighs and hips, while increasing muscle mass.

 

 

The Good News!

Ronald Klatz M.D. says you can improve your HGH release without taking the HGH injections!

"If you are like one-fourth of the older population and are severely deficient in human growth hormone, then HGH therapy with the injections might be for you. But if like nearly 80% of the population age 40 and up you are still making small, if declining amounts of human growth hormone you can boost your hGH levels by taking certain natural supplements. You will have to make your own decision, but according to Klatz, “you can do it safely, effectively, and economically." Ronald Klatz, MD, in his best selling book "Grow Young With HGH".

 

Doctors have long understood that your body's concentration of HGH decreases as we age. With this decline, our bodies become weak, muscles (including the heart) lose strength, bones become brittle, skin loses tone and elasticity, and with a compromised immune system, disease and illness is given a foothold.

In an effort to boost the internal supply of hGH, some people, desperate to restore health or youthful appearance, have even resorted to expensive and painful hGH injections to replenish this vital hormone.

Recently, however, scientists made a truly revolutionary discovery: HGH Production can be stimulated back to youthful levels by using certain GHR (growth hormone releasing) substances in many people.

Symptoms of hGH Deficiency in Adults:

Loss of anabolic muscle tone - reduced lean body mass, reduced skeletal muscle strength, reduced exercise performance, increased body fat, and increased abdominal fat.

lipid effects - Increased LDL cholesterol and decreased HDL cholesterol; in bone defects: osteopenia (lack of bone).

Protein synthesis - thin skin, lack of collagen, decreased size of organs, decreased nail, and hair growth.

Mental health - Reduced energy, emotional instability, poor memory and concentration, depression, and reduced sex drive.

Medical References

Dr. Michael Perlmann. What is anti-aging medicine? Anti-aging medicine blends traditional principles with the latest advances in medical research to treat and prevent the causes of aging. Traditional medicine treats the symptoms and sequelae of aging, whereas anti-aging medicine strives to prevent or reverse the causes and signs of aging. The hallmark of anti-aging therapy is prevention, with a focus on the identification of risk factors of disease, lifestyle improvements, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) such as HGH and testosterone therapy.

Doctor Edmund Chein from 1994 to 1996 treated over 800 people with HGH replacement therapy. And the results were published in Doctor Ronald Klatz's 1997 book "Grow Young With HGH". These results demonstrated to scientists and the public, the safety and efficacy of HGH in improving a broad array of human health parameters in adults

Doctors Thierry Hertaghe and Vince Giampapa report that the latest European research indicates that Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can go beyond the current antioxidant based anti-aging remedies in slowing, preventing and reversing aging at the cellular level.

Grace Wong of Genetech has shown that as we age cell proteins suffer ever accumulating damage. This is, in large part, caused by the ever-increasing incidence of free radicals released during normal cellular activity. Wong says that HGH can actually activate a cellular defense force of protease inhibitors. So even if high levels of free radicals can't be avoided, the protease inhibitors prevent the free radicals from triggering cell destructive protease. Thus, unlike antioxidants, HGH does not just reduce cellular damage, it can actively promote the healing and regeneration of cells!

After six months of HGH treatment at Sahlgrenska Hospital in Sweden HGH deficient adults lost 20% of their body fat. Most of this fat loss occurred in abdominal fat, reduced by 30% compared with a 13% reduction in peripheral fat. (e.g. arm and leg) It is abdominal fat that is strongly correlated with increased incidence of heart attack., hypertension and diabetes.

Thomas C. Welbourne of Louisiana State University College of Medicine in Shreveport, conducted a study that showed that a surprisingly small dose of Glutamine (Major component of our "AgeForce™" formula) raised HGH levels more than four times the amount of patients on a placebo. Even more exciting, age did not diminish the responses.

Vladimir Dilman, PH.D. "Hormones are vital for repairing and regulating our bodily functions. As we age, though the body produces lower levels of hormones, which can result in disastrous effects, including the decline of self-repair and self-regulation. Hormone replacement therapy, a frequent component of any anti-aging treatment, helps to reset the body's hormonal clock and thus can reverse of delay the effects of aging. If our hormones are being produced at youthful levels, in a very real sense the cells of our bodies are stimulated to be metabolically active and thus, the entire body stays young."

Silvio Inzucchi of Yale University wrote in the January 15, 1997 issue of Hospital Practice, "Growth hormone deficiency is not formally recognized as a specific clinical syndrome, typified by decreased muscle mass, increased body fat (predominantly at intra-abdominal sites)

Dr. Robert Kerr (San Gabriel, California, treated over 8,000 athletes in the course of his practice, prescribing HGH. Kerr said his patients took HGH for only three to six weeks. In that time, bodybuilders claimed their results lasted up to 12 months. Some athletes claimed to have gained up to 40 pounds in six weeks while reducing their body fat.

Dr. Julian Whitaker of Newport Beach, California has been prescribing HGH to his elderly patients, as well as taking it himself. He states, "I have not seen anything that even comes close to the restorative power of HGH supplementation". In Whitaker's opinion, HGH is most effective in combating the effects of chronic diseases that involve muscle wasting: stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and AIDS,

1996 New England Journal of Medicine - Patients treated with HGH who had moderate-to-severe heart failure, increased the thickness of the left ventricular wall, enhanced the ability of the heart to contract and pump out blood, reduced the oxygen requirement of the heart, improved exercise capacity, clinical systems, and the patients quality of life.

David Clemmons, chief of Endocrinology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, believes that HGH is a promising treatment for emphysema and other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Dr. Ronald Klatz, Author "Grow Young with HGH" "GH (Growth Hormone) is the ultimate anti aging therapy. It effects almost every cell in the body, rejuvenating the skin and bones, regenerating the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, bringing organ and tissue function back to youthful levels. It is an anti-disease medicine that revitalizes the immune system, lowers the risk factors for heart attack and stroke, improves oxygen uptake in emphysema patients, and prevents osteoporosis.

It is under investigation for a host of different diseases from post-polio syndrome to AIDS. It is the most effective anti-obesity drug ever discovered, reviving up the metabolism to youthful levels, resculpting the body by selectively reducing the fat in the waist, abdomen, hips, and thighs, and at the same time increasing muscle mass. It may be the most powerful aphrodisiac ever discovered, reviving flagging sexual and potency in older men.

It is cosmetic surgery in a bottle, smoothing out facial wrinkles; restoring the elasticity, thickness, and contours of youthful skin; reversing the loss of extracellular water that makes old people look like dried-up prunes. It has healing powers that close ulcerated wounds and regrow burned skin. It is the secret ingredient in the age-defying bodies of weight lifters and it enhances exercise performance, allowing you to do higher-intensity workouts of longer duration.

It reverses the insomnia of later life, restoring the "slow wave" or deepest level of sleep. And it is a mood elevator, lifting the spirits along with the body, bringing back a zest for life many people thought was lost forever. The latest research shows that it holds promise for that most intractable and terrifying disease of aging - Alzheimer's."

Patrick Cadigan, M.D., Medical College of Florida. "Today a greater sense of well-being and self confidence is closer than you think."

Daniel Rudman, M.D., Medical College of Wisconsin. "The effects of six months of growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20 years of aging."

Dr. Eve Van Cauter, GH researcher, University of Chicago Medical Center. "All of these ideas about treating people with growth hormone have been directed towards people sixty-five and older. If you look at the data, people have so-called 'elderly' levels by age forty. Perhaps we should be giving GH replacement therapy earlier rather than attempting to treat tissues that have seen little or no growth hormone for decades."

Dr. Lawrence Dornan, member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging "It stops the aging process in the body and reverses many of the problems that are caused by aging, such as wrinkling skin, increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, increased cholesterol, decreased stamina and energy, decreased mental function, impaired neurological functions such as Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. IGF-1 or growth hormone is truly an amazing substance which is both safe and effective with no known side effects unless it's used in an overdose manner."

Dr. George Merriam, University of Washington in Seattle-National Institute of Aging studies on growth hormone " There is no evidence suggesting that this [growth hormone] replacement therapy causes any unfavorable long term side effects... a complete absence of side effects."

Dr. Jorgensen and Dr. Christian of Copenhagen, Denmark, in European Journal of Endocrinology, 1994 "Replacement therapy with Growth Hormone has shown beneficial and normalizing effect on parameters such as cardiac and renal function, thyroid hormone metabolism, bone metabolism, sweat secretion, total and regional fuel metabolism and psychological well being"

Dr. Ronald Klatz, world renowned expert on anti-aging, founder and president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. "By replenishing your supply of growth hormone, you can recover your vigor, health, looks and sexuality. For the first time in human history, we can intervene in the aging process, restore many aspects of youth, resist disease, substantially improve the quality of life, perhaps extend the life span itself. The 'Fountain of Youth' lies within the cells of each of us. All you need to do is release it."

SOME OTHER BENEFITS OF USING HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE

Until recently the effects of Growth Hormone Deficiency in adults were unknown.  It is now recognized as a specific clinical syndrome with numerous physiological consequesnces with effects on;

• Changes in body composition, including central obesity.
• Lipids in the blood.
• Muscle strength.
• Bone composition.
• Exercise capacity and energy.
• Cardiovascular risk.
• Psychological well-being.

Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) can be effectively treated with recombinant human Growth Hormone. A medically supervised HGH program has many benefits that can improve the user’s life on every level imaginable and AAG Health specializes in treating adults who are experiencing symptoms and problems associated with AGHD.

Effects of HGH Therapy

• SKIN - Increased skin elasticity, texture, and tightness.
• ENERGY - Increased energy and emotional stability.
• BONE - Improved bone strength.
• SEXUAL POWER - Increased sexual potency and frequency.
• MUSCLE - Increased muscle strength and mass.
• FAT - Decreased fat tissue.
• MEMORY - Improved mental functioning and strength.
• HEART - Improved cardiovascular strength and lower blood pressure.
• KIDNEY - Improved kidney function.
• IMMUNE SYSTEM - Improved immunity and healing.
• HAIR - Improved hair texture.
• CHOLESTEROL - Elevated HDL and lowered LDL.

Hormones can be thought of as "messengers" that are produced by the endocrine glands and then sent all over the body to stimulate specified activities. For example, growth, digestion, reproduction, and sexual functions are all triggered by hormones and they all depend on hormones to work properly.

HGH is one of several endocrine hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA that decline in production as we age. As its name suggests, human Growth Hormone is an endocrine hormone that makes humans grow.

HGH is a complex protein molecule of 191 amino acids linked in a specific sequence. It is secreted in pulses by the pituitary gland. These pulses vary between 10 and 30 per day and can be strengthened by exercise. For years, doctors have prescribed HGH for children who needed a growth boost but growth deficiencies do not just affect children, they can be a significant problem fo adults too. HGH is critical for tissue repair, healing, muscle growth, bone strength, brain function, physical and mental health, energy, and metabolism.

Somatropin, or Somatotropin, is the man-made version of human Growth Hormone. Each manufacturer of somatropin assigns its own brand name, such as Genotropin, Norditropin, Saizen and Compound Somatropin. They are available only by prescription and administered by injection.

HGH is produced at a rate that peaks during adolescence, at time when normal growth isaccelerated. The production of HGH decreases with age, 14% each year on average. Humans normally produce about 500 micrograms of HGH daily at age 20.By age 80, the daily production falls to 60 (or less) micrograms. Many doctorsconsider IGF-1 levels below 200 to be HGH deficient and a diagnosis on Adult Onset Growth HormoneDeficiency Syndrome is made.

In the month of August of 1996, the FDA approved recombinant human Growth Hormone for the use in adult patients for the first time. Before, it was approved it only was authorized for use to promote growth in short children with growth deficiencies. Now HGH can be prescribed for deficient adults to treat Adult Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency Syndrome.

Many doctors offer, to qualified individuals based on medical necessity, HGH therapy in the form of medically supervised programs that are designed to safely replenish and replace your body's own production of HGH.

For most people the pituitary gland produces sufficient HGH to retain a youthful appearance until age 35 or so. Then, somewhere between age 40 and 50, the body's ability to produce HGH declines to the point where the signs of Adult Growth hormone Deficiency (AGHD) begin to show.

Signs of Adult Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD):

• SKIN Skin loses elasticity. Becomes thinner, sags, and wrinkled.
• ENERGY Loss of vigor and stamina.
• BONE Bones lose strength. Tendency toward osteoporosis.
• SEXUAL POWER Loss of sexual powers and libido.
• MUSCLE Muscles lose strength and mass.
• FAT Fat tissue increases and accumulates.
• MEMORY Memory begins to fade.
• HEART Heart muscle loses strength.
• KIDNEY Decreased kidney function.
• IMMUNE SYSTEM Decreased immunity and increased healing time.
• HAIR Hair becomes thinner and loses color.
• CHOLESTEROL Increased cholesterol level.

The first major study showing the promise of HGH therapy was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Rudman; 323:1-6 1990). This study was orchestrated by therenowned Dr. Daniel Rudman. It divided 21 men (between the ages of 60 and 80) with IGF-1 levels less than 350 IU per liter into two groups: 12 test subjects and 9 control subjects.

A 6-month period of data collection was followed by a 6-month period in which the 12 test subjects received HGH injections and the 9 control subjects did not. Theresults were promising: increases in lean muscle mass, decreases in adipose fattissue, and increases in vertebral bone height. All test subjects had measurable increases in HGH levels, as measured by IGF-1 blood values.

The control group had none of these results. The effects of six months of human growth hormone on body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude tothe changes incurred during the 10 to 20 years of aging.

Since Rudman’s landmark study, leading doctors and healthcare professionals worldwide have performed many studies that all come to the same conclusion – HGH therapy works. For a complete background on recent and past HGH studies and information on HGH therapy in general, the book entitled “Grow Young With HGH” by Dr. Ronald Klatz (ISBN 0-06-098434-1) is fascinating reading and a “must read”.

The nervous system and brain are made up of cells called neurons, which are permanent and never grow back once damaged. HGH stimulates the repair and rejuvenation of these particular neurons. The proteins in the brain that are responsible for storing our memories are also affected in a positive way.

Learning, memory, and intelligence all depend on adequate supplies of HGH. According to ateam of Swedish Scientists they discovered why HGH therapy makes so many people feel so good. HGH acts in the brain exactly like an antidepressant, raising the level of neurotransmitter B- endorphin, which has been called the brain's own opiate. It also lowers the level of dopamine, which is associated with feelings of agitation. It reverses the outlooks, expectations and attitudes associated with the aging process.

Many other experts expressed that it appears to reduce stress itself, & improves focus and concentration, and builds self esteem and self confidence. HGH can also reverse the decline in memory and cognitive performance.

About 68%of Americans are classified as overweight individuals. Obesity is the 2nd most common preventable death in the United States. Human Growth Hormone may be one of the most effective fat loss regimens ever discovered.

The psychological and emotional symptoms associated with Adult Growth hormone Deficiency (AGHD) include a reduced sense of well being, low energy, vitality, capacity for work, emotional liability, including mood swings, anxiety, depression, and increased social isolation. Important physical signs are increased body fat, especially around the waist (apple shape rather than pear shape), decrease in muscle mass, and thin, wrinkled, or prematurely aged skin. Other symptoms may consist of the following: Reduced cardiac performance, poor sleep, decreased muscle mass and strength, little to no sex drive.

Aging takes place at a more rapid pace when your hormones start to decrease. Once the hormone levels start to decrease, your body starts to change. You tend to gain weight easier, your not as athletic, you tend to be more up tight about things, depressed more frequently, these are all signs that your hormone levels are beginning to drop. Natural hormones are protective and aging is related to the loss of these hormones. Replacing the hormone level to youthful levels delays the aging process.

All of the things that you already know about healthy living are still true, whether you are starting HGH therapy or not. If you are serious about treating your hormone deficiencies with hormone therapy remember that all good programs consist of discipline and commitment in five major areas:

1. HORMONE REPLACEMENT/SUPPLEMENTATION
2. PROPER DIET
3. NUTRITION
4. EXERCISE
5. SLEEP

REASONS SOME INDIVIDUALS USE HGH

Heighten Mood
HGH acts in the brain like an antidepressant, raising B-endorphin levels – the brain’s own opiate – and lowering dopamine which causes agitation. HGH can reduce stress, improve concentration and focus, and help to build self-confidence.

Improve Sexual Desire
As a powerful aphrodisiac, HGH restores sexual potency and sexuality in older men. Women using it report increased libido, heightened pleasure and the equivalent of greater potency in men, which for the female is multiple orgasms. It also helps to alleviate menstrual and post-menopausal symptoms, and eliminate vaginal dryness.

According to many of the physicians who use growth hormone in their practice, the sexual changes are striking, effecting both men and women.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is referred to in medical science as the master hormone. It is very plentiful when we are young, but near the age of twenty-one our bodies begin to produce less of it. By the time we are forty nearly everyone is deficient in HGH, and at eighty our production has normally diminished at least 90-95%.

Hormones are chemical messengers, traveling through the blood stream and involved in all aspects of the body's activity metabolism, growth, mood and sexual function to name a few. They also help to maintain health, regulate the vital organs, and promote healing and repair.

Being the master hormone, HGH affects virtually all areas of the body influencing the growth of cells, bones, muscles and organs. When deficient in growth hormone our symptoms include loss of muscle, decreased energy, an increase in fat, diminished sexual drive, a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and a lower life expectancy. In other words, the symptoms we call aging.

When we're young, HGH (human growth hormone) is produced in large quantities by the pituitary gland, but after age 25-30, HGH levels diminish up to 80%. Many doctors believe this drop is what causes many problems and diseases associated with aging. ULTIMATE HGH PLUS Capsules stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and distribute youthful levels of HGH. One of the amazing effects that HGH has on the body, is that it increases your metabolism. This increase actually causes your body to burn fat while you sleep!

Research on HGH began in the 1980's. Results were so astounding that they were published in countless medical and science journals. Today, hundreds of doctors are treating patients, and there are reports of dramatic improvements in weight loss, vitality and energy, muscle strength, healing of injuries, flexibility, resistance to illness, memory function, skin tone and smoothness, sexual function--even control of thinning hair and menopausal hot flashes.
