Human Growth Hormone - Real or False

HGH (human growth hormone) is one of the body's natural hormones. It is produced by the Pituitary gland at the centre of the brain. HGH in turn stimulates other glands and processes around the body to work to maximum efficiency. Recent studies have shown that raising the body's levels of Human Growth Hormone can delay or even reverse biological aging. As we exit our teen years our bodies produce increasingly less HGH. This leads to a host of unwanted side-effects including increased body fat, decreased immunity, poor skin tone, decreased libido, and the many other symptoms we usually associate with aging. Experts once thought that an aging pituitary gland did not have the facility to produce greater amounts of HGH. However, more recent studies show that a maturing pituitary really is indeed capable of producing as much HGH as when it was much younger, but only when it is stimulated to do so. In recent clinical tests, raised levels of HGH produced: Average increased muscle (nearly 9% in six months with no exercise) An average 14% fat-reduction after six months, (with no dieting) Superior immune function More rapid wound-healing Much improved and deeper sleep Sharper vision Higher energy levels Better sexual performance Greater cardiac output Increased exercise capacity Improved kidney function Blood pressure reduced Improved cholesterol profile Stronger bone structure Younger, thicker skin Reduced Hair-Loss, Hair re-growth Wrinkle reduction Reduction or Elimination of cellulite Mood Improvements Increased memory retention A modest raising of HGH levels can be achieved by a few people just by exercise and giving serious attention to their diet, and by reducing their weight to a lower level. But for the rest of us, this is no solution. Injections of pure HGH can be used to raise HGH levels but this is pretty expensive. To keep prices reasonable, most HGH supplements on the market contain very low levels of HGH, frequently too low to have a lasting effect. These products achieve their results by delivering mixtures of herbs and homeopathic remedies which naturally nudge the pituitary into greater performance. The latest research suggests that the best way of increasing HGH levels is to get the body to produce more HGH. Other than introducing a large and expensive amount of pure HGH directly into the body, it is also possible to persuade a pituitary gland to produce more HGH on its own. If a potential user accepts wants to raise his or her HGH levels and keep aging at bay, how can this be achieved? This usually comes down to things like the cost and/or convenience. If cost is not a factor, then HGH injections will usually be best, but the bother of those regular injections is off-putting to most. The alternative for most ordinary folk is to go for one of the proprietary products available, all of which seek to re-stimulate the pituitary to produce at a higher level. Some do this with tablets, pills or capsules, others by direct into-the-mouth sprays. Some actually DO include small amounts of real HGH to enhance the effect, although regulatory restrictions mean that this is a very small amount indeed. In another article I will discuss the pros and cons of each method of application. For now I will leave you with a heartfelt warning: BEWARE! It is difficult to recognize a genuine HGH Product from a spurious one, just by looking. Sugar capsules can be designed to look precisely like the real thing, also sugar-water, and copying the packaging isn't too difficult either. Always obtain your HGH (whatever the form) from a country with regulations that are rigidly enforced. At the head of such a list will be: USA , Canada, UK, European Community. Don't take this to mean that all else is tarnished, far from it. But please be very careful! Dr Hannibal Roman is an expert on natural remedies and alternative therapy. He also writes regular articles, books and reviews of the best anti aging products, and ceaselessly advises unwary individuals on how to safely buy HGH online.
