Why HGH is the Fountain of Youth

By Ellen Roberts

Human growth hormone (HGH) has made headlines because of its ability to slow the aging process. The research done on human growth hormone shows that when used supplementally, it can slow the aging process down. Human growth hormone, or HGH, is a substance released by the pituitary gland that spurs growth and development in children and adolescents. As a drug, it can be prescribed legally only for three rare conditions: HGH deficiency-related syndromes that cause short stature in children, adult HGH deficiency due to rare pituitary tumors and their treatment, and muscle-wasting disease associated with HIV/AIDS. Human Growth Agent is designed to help your body naturally increase it's own levels of HGH.

Before 1998 when synthetic HGH molecules were genetically engineered and made available, HGH compunds were at that time extracted from cadavers and injected into the human body as HGH replacement therapy. Human growth hormone was initially discovered in the mid 50s and its structure was finally identified in 1972. It has been proved that anyone deficient in HGH can safely use HGH with great benefit. Human growth hormone has been the subject of thousands of studies over the past five decades.

Growth hormone occurs naturally in the human body. Use of exogenous human growth hormone (HGH), through needle injection, was originally for medical purposes until athletes began using HGH with the goal of increasing their abilities. Growth Hormones are the main controller to increase height. Growth results will depend mostly on your age, health, bones density, diet and genetic level.

Amazingly, after the age of 20, the HGH production decreases by 14% every ten years. Studies show that the human body slows down its production of the hormone around age 25 -- and shortly thereafter, the negative effects of aging begin to kick in. That means wrinkles, increased body fat, male pattern baldness, osteoporosis, and a whole host of other age-related problems.

Measurement of IGF-1 level in the blood stream with specific test, is used to gauge the amount of growth hormone produced in the body. Studies have shown that the levels of HGH found in the body in our 60s are only 20% of what they were in our early 20s. Levels of HGH and IGF-1 are proportionate to each other. Levels considered "Elderly" are often reached by age 35-40! And after age 65, about half the population is partially or wholly deficient in growth hormone. Scientists have now discovered a relationship between this decline of HGH in the body and aging.

Scientists do not know what long-term effects of chronic overdose of HGH have been. It is possible that continuous HGH overdose can cause health problems, and this is especially problematic for people who regularly inject HGH. Scientists have linked this phenomenon to the decrease in human growth hormone as we age.
