Human Growth Hormone is
a hormone produced by the
pituitary gland in the brain.
The pituitary gland is also
responsible for the production
of hormones like testosterone
and estrogen. HGH acts on
the liver and other tissues
to stimulate production
of insulin-like growth factor
I (IGF-I). HGH is critical
to cell growth and our bodies
produce a lot of HGH when
we're young to aid in healthy
bone and muscle development.
Doctors sometimes prescribe
HGH supplements for children
who aren't growing properly
or who are smaller than
average for their age.
The body's production of
HGH peaks sometime between
the ages of 20 and 31. After
this time, HGH production
sharply declines. As the
production of HGH slackens,
our bodies have a harder
time maintaining healthy
cell growth. This reduction
of HGH leads to signs of
aging such as hair loss,
brittle bones, loose and
thinning skin, decreased
mental function, decreased
sexual performance, increase
in body fat, and loss of
lean muscle mass.
In order to combat these
symptoms of aging, some
people undergo a process
called Human Growth Hormone
replacement therapy. This
procedure can involve the
injection of HGH beneath
the skin or the ingestion
of HGH Releasers, which
combine amino acids and
vitamins that help the body
produce more HGH.
Reduced HGH levels aren't
necessarily a bad thing.
One study suggests that
people with a higher HGH
level are likely to die
at a younger age than those
with a lower level of HGH.
Studies such as these cast
doubt on the health benefits
of HGH replacement therapy
for anyone other than those
who suffer from a profound
lack of the hormone.
