Damn reading this make me want to take HGH, just to try it out. But I won't of course I am a man of nature especially when comes to hormones, I'm all for natural stimulation of our hormones. I want to give my brothers the tip to squat more often since it stimulates the release of HGH. Just look at the benefits of HGH.
Human Growth Hormone, (HGH)
HGH - What is it?
Arguably the most important hormone in your body, Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, is produced by the pituitary gland in your brain. HGH is responsible for the health and vitality associated with our youth.
After the age of 20, the hormone release rate greatly decreases, and by the age of 30 most people start to notice an acceleration in the aging process. One of the leading factors involved in this decline is the decreased production of Human Growth Hormone.
Studies indicate that your body produces about 15% less of the hormone with each successive decade. As you get older, and your body begins to produce less of the human growth hormone, you start to notice that you look and feel older.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland in large amounts when we’re young, but secretion falls off sharply as we age.
According to research, at age 21, the normal level of circulating hgh is about 10 milligrams per deciliter of blood, but at age 61, it's decreased 80% to only 2 milligrams. Scientists believe that it's growth hormone that grows the cells, bones, muscles, and organs, and it is the level of growth hormone after age 30 that slowly robs us of our youth.
HGH promotes tissue repair, cell regeneration in the bones, muscles and vital organs, and supports the immune system in combating infection and disease. HGH achieves this by improving movement of amino acids (the building blocks of cells and muscles) across cell membranes.
As the body's cells die, HGH ensures that replacement cells are readily available. As we age, our HGH levels decline causing our cell replacement levels to reduce. HGH supplementation improves the body's ability to self-repair delaying the aging process.
Hormones are chemical messengers that help our body perform different functions that relate to our health and well being. The HGH hormone is basically made up of 191 amino acids which are parts of proteins. Our hormones are made in a number of different endocrine glands located throughout the body. After they are manufactured, they are released into the blood stream to do their work systemically; allowing each organ system to function at peak efficiency.
HGH is one of the more abundant hormones the body produces (at least while we are young); it is made in the pituitary gland which is located in the brain.
A few of the systems that HGH acts on include, over all bodily growth and reproduction and sexual functions.
This tremendous wonder of nature is produced at its peak when we are in our teens. At 20 years of age we produce an average 500 micrograms/day, at 40 years of age we average 200 micrograms/day and at 80 years old we average 25 micrograms/day.
So you can see that aging has a tremendous impact on the depletion of this hormone. Age isn’t the only factor that depletes this hormone, poor dietary habits and habitual stress can cause further imbalances.
Month-by-Month Improvements With HGH
Scientific research indicates that taking an HGH supplement can have these positive effects
First Month: Improved stamina, better and sounder sleep, vivid dreams, feeling more refreshed upon awakening, increased energy, more optimistic attitude and a better sense of humor.
Second Month: Improved muscle tone, improved nail growth, increased strength, weight loss, enhanced sexual function, improved skin tone, better digestion, and better eyesight, especially night vision.
Third Month: Muscle size increase, hair growth, increased sexual desire, less pain, improvement in mental processes, faster wound recovery and less muscle soreness, reduction in PMS symptoms, greater body flexibility, and alleviation of some menopausal symptoms
Fourth Month: Heightened and more consistent improvements, as listed above.
Fifth Month: Impressive weight loss / inch reduction, thickening of skin and greater elasticity, thickening of hair with a shiny, health appearance, improvement in skin texture/appearance, and reduction of wrinkles.
Sixth Month: Cellulite greatly diminishes, eyesight greatly improves, stronger resistance to colds, flu and other illnesses, old wounds are healing or have healed, grayed hair begins to return to natural color, blood pressure normalizes, body is much more contoured, emotional stability is improved, some pain and soreness disappear, exercise tolerance is increased, LDL and triglycerides are reduced, heart rate improves, and immune system improves.
