Growth Hormone: (also know as HGH,
GH, Somatotropin) is an endocrine hormone
which is a simple protein made of 191
simple chain amino acids that are in a
polypeptide formation. HGH is responsible
for controlling most major functions in
our bodies. Another important aspect in
understanding HGH is that since it is
a peptide makes formation more delicate.
It is especially important to know this
when considering newly introduced supplement
on the market. Because of its delicate
nature it is receptive to breakdown by
gastric acid which is in saliva and stomach
acids.
Studies have shown that
medically supervised HGH Therapies
can turn back the clock on the effects
of aging by as much as 10 to 20
years with less than a year of treatment.
HGH is an important tool to adding years
to your life along with rejuvenating your
body physically and mentally. HGH is a
hormone that is produced by an individual's
pituitary gland and more specifically
pituitary cells (somatotropes). Somatropes
are estimated to be the more dominate
cell population within the pituitary gland
making HGH the most dominant hormone produced.
HGH is produced within the first couple
of hours of an individual's deep sleep.
This production is released in pulses
and is not a constant steady release of
the hormone. HGH also only remains within
the bloodstream for only a brief time.
As the hormone travels throughout the
blood stream it is then converted to insulin-like
growth factor 1 (IGF-1). This conversion
is the important aspect of where HGH benefits
an individual.
