Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain. Humans begin producing HGH at birth and varying levels of HGH circulate in the bloodstream until death. HGH levels reach their peak during adolescence and begin to drop with each passing year. Unfortunately, as we age- beginning as early as age 25, our HGH levels decline to a fraction of the levels of our young age.
Many scientists link this decrease to multiple health threatening degenerative diseases and complications of advanced aging, which include loss of muscle (sarcopenia) and bone strength, an increase in body fat and decrease in metabolism and immune function along with multiple other problems.
Many anti-aging specialists name HGH--the old age “Performance Enhancer” and believe that supplementing our diets with HGH is an effective way to avoid the diseases and conditions associated with aging and improve vitality and appearance. HGH promotes tissue repair, cell regeneration, bones’ repair, muscles and vital organs rejuvenation, and supports immune system in combating infection and disease.
HGH facilitates the building of bone and muscle as well as production of cells that help organs and tissues grow and repair themselves. It also provides for the growth and repair of human muscles and tissue in advanced aging and has also show rejuvenating, regenerating effects on the human body that have been documented in multiple of scientific papers. In addition to all the above, HGH promotes an active metabolism and accelerates the way your body uses energy.
There are multiple symptoms and factors of aging that negatively affect quality of life, such as increased body fat, loss of lean muscle tissue, lower energy levels, decreased sexual function, common depressive symptoms, and weakened immune function or decreased skin turgor.
As explained in the HERS (2002) study, the low circulating level of hormones (HGH and testosterone) in particular promotes an increase in adipose tissue bulk. This leads to free fatty acids release, which are immediately transported to the liver, consequently stimulating the production of Apo-B, containing very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). At the same time insulin resistance leads to overproduction of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and there is also a reduced activity of peripheral lipoprotein lipase which in turn supports the accumulation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in the circulation. Hlatky et al. (2002) teach that via the action of cholesterol ester transfer protein, triglycerides are transferred from these lipoproteins to high density lipoproteins in exchange for cholesterol esters. The enrichment of the triglyceride-rich remnant particles with cholesterol ester leads to formation of small dense LDL, known as VLDL. Moreover, because of this exchange, the level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol simultaneously falls.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine study (1990) HGH helps with: restoring muscle mass; decreasing body fat; thickening the skin; reducing wrinkles; restoring lost hair; restoring hair color; increasing energy; improving cholesterol profile; restoring size of internal organs; improving vision; improving memory; elevating mood and improving sleep; increasing cardiac output and stamina; improving immune function; increasing mental function; increasing sex drive

An increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome among U.S. adults is proved in a study published in J. Clin Endocrinol Metab (2010) by Attanasio et al. found metabolic syndrome age-adjusted prevalence in the United States was significantly higher than in Europe (51.8 and 28.6%, respectively). The metabolic syndrome prevalence in HGH deficient patients was higher than in the general population in the United States and higher in the United States than Europe. After HGH treatment significant changes were found in waist circumference, fasting glucose, and blood pressure measurements. Prevalence was unaffected by GH replacement, but baseline metabolic syndrome status and obesity were strong predictors of metabolic syndrome after HGH treatment.

Being overweight can make it more difficult for you to stimulate the natural HGH production. Dealing with excess weight means that you have relatively high levels of insulin. As a result, your HGH production is interrupted. helpful genfx site
