Human Growth Hormone

Human growth hormone, HGH or GH (growth hormone) is a hormone that begins to decline around the age of 30 in males and females.  Hormones rule the body and regulate bodily functions and when their levels decrease, hormone balances will cause many of the diseases that accompany the aging process.  Hormones effect every organ in the body and when one of those hormones is out of balance, a chain reaction can occur with all the hormones.  HGH should only be used in conjunction with the other bioidentical hormones that your doctor has prescribed.

The aging process and the decrease in hormone levels cause physical, physiological and psychological changes in the body. Hormone deficiencies aid to accelerate the aging process and cause all kinds of problems such as insulin, thyroid and adrenal insufficiencies.  Balanced hormones will help cholesterol, weight loss, muscle wasting, bone strength, feelings of well being, energy levels, protect against heart attack and cancer.

Natural bioidentical hormones such as estrogen (estradiol, estrone and estriol), progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone all assist with maintaining our health.  Adding human growth hormone to this combination will offer many anti aging / health benefits.  Although HGH has a negative reputation because of over use and abuse by athletes, prescribed in the correct dosages – just to replace the HGH levels that are diminished in the body will provide powerful immune-stimulating results.

Human growth hormone is thought to, but not proven to increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and diabetes, but there is no scientific research that confirms this.  A study has shown, in fact, that people with severely low levels of HGH had a 50 per cent increase in cancer.  HGH is prescribed to people with dwarfism to help with muscle, bone development and growth.  When prescribed as an anti aging bioidentical hormone, it will help with muscle strength and definition, slow down atrophy of the organs, assist with combating anxiety, strengthen bones, fight wrinkles and stimulate the metabolism.

It is prescribed as a bioidentical hormone and will help with anti aging and age management issues.  It is used for anti aging and balancing the hormone system.  It has developed a reputation as an anti aging hormone because of results which help fight wrinkles, increase muscle mass which deteriorates as you grow older, and boosts metabolism and energy levels. People who use HGH have lost large percentages of body fat thereby losing a great amount of excess weight.

Human growth hormone is difficult to obtain and must be obtained through a bioidentical doctor by prescription.  Human growth hormone can also be increased by using supplements to boost its production in the body.  These amino acid supplements include glycine, tyrosine, lysine, arginine, ornithine and glutamine and should be taken with potassium, zinc, vitamin B3, B6 and C.

HGH supplements are administered by injection or homeopathic drops which you can obtain from your doctor or naturopath by prescription at a compounding pharmacy.  Human growth hormone should not be taken alone; it should be used in combination with other bioidentical hormones because the goal is to achieve balance with your hormone levels as you age.  When using HGH, you should ensure that you are eating healthy meals with protein at every meal, exercising, reducing your stress levels and sleeping properly.  Speak with your medical professional before embarking on any hormone supplement program.
