Truth About Human Growth Hormone

HGH really a miracle cure for the effects of old age?

To find the answer to this question, I have begun my own investigation into this growing phenomenon.

I've started doing a lot of research regarding the use of HGH supplements and injections in order to find out more about what HGH is and how it works.

But most importantly - I wanted to find out which products, if any, can truly deliver on the claims that they make.

My initial findings are below. First, let's start with a little background into HGH...


What is HGH?

HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which is located in the center of the human brain. The pituitary gland secretes human growth hormone, which aids in a variety of health functions of the human body.

Now you may wonder, why is it that we supposedly need more HGH if our bodies are already capable of producing HGH?


Why do we need HGH replacement?

According to researchers, our levels of HGH begin to drop around the age of 30. Over the years, our levels continue to drop at a consistent rate. In fact, some experts claim that our HGH levels diminish by as much as 80% or more over time.

So why is this important?

Because many researchers believe that this drop in our HGH levels is what causes many health problems and diseases associated with modern aging - such as weight gain, reduced energy, muscle loss, wrinkles, declining mental alertness, weakened immune system, vision problems and more.

In other words, it is believed that there is a direct correlation between declining HGH levels and increased signs of aging.


As our HGH levels drop, we experience more of the adverse effects of aging.

Thus, it is believed that if you wish to effectively reverse the aging process, you need to increase your levels of growth hormone.

If this theory correct, then it may be true that HGH is the key to regaining our youth.


So what are our options for increasing HGH levels?

From what I can determine, there are 3 different ways to replace and/or increase your HGH levels:

# human growth hormone injections
# human growth hormone oral sprays
# herbal supplements which boost your body's HGH levels naturally



What are the pros and cons of each method? Which methods actually work?

Let's take a closer look...


METHOD # 1: HGH Injections

Evidence from several well-known studies does suggest that HGH injections do work; however, there are some drawbacks to using HGH injections.

With injections, synthetic HGH is injected into the body, typically 2 to 3 times per day. The average cost per injection is $25.00; thus, it costs $50.00 - $75.00 per day to use injectable HGH. And to make matters worse, recombinant (injectable) growth hormone is a drug that is available by prescription only. And since you are not treating a "classified disease", insurance will not cover HGH injections. That means that you have to pay for all of these costs out of your own pocket!

And as I mentioned above, injections use synthetic (scientifically engineered) HGH. In other words, it's not natural. Anytime you introduce a large amount of a foreign hormone into the human body, there is the risk of side effects.

In fact, in a July 5, 1990 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, it was found that some patients undergoing injections suffered from various adverse side effects.

Pros: Injectable HGH is effective

Cons: Injectable HGH is very expensive, painful, time-consuming, requires a prescription and can have serious side effects


METHOD # 2: HGH Oral Sprays

There is no evidence to suggest that oral sprays work.

With oral sprays, synthetic HGH is sprayed directly into the mouth. However, there have been several documented reasons as to why oral sprays are completely ineffective.

Sprays are said to be ineffective because growth hormone is a large, unstable molecule that can't pass through membranes in the mouth. Also, administering the dosage is virtually impossible with a spray, though this is of lesser concern given that the dosage provided in a spray is well below therapeutic levels.

Furthermore, sprays contain potentially dangerous binders and fillers as well - additives which experts believe should be avoided at all costs.

Finally, oral HGH sprays are said to be distasteful, leaving an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

Pros: none

Cons: Oral HGH Sprays are ineffective, distasteful and many contain potentially dangerous binders and fillers


METHOD # 3: HGH Releasers (Herbal Supplements)

There is an ongoing debate as to the effectiveness of HGH Releasers. Nonetheless, some recent studies have shown that some HGH Releasers are effective, offering virtually the same level of benefits one would derive from costly HGH injections.

With herbal HGH Releasers, a combination of herbal supplements is ingested in tablet or capsule form. Typically, the pills are taken before bedtime, since HGH production in the pituitary gland is most active during sleep.

Unlike injections or sprays, herbal HGH Releasers do not contain synthetic HGH. Instead, herbal HGH releasers only contain natural herbal ingredients. It is believed that the right combination of herbs can stimulate the pituitary gland, causing it to produce more abundant levels of your body's own growth hormone.

Some experts believe that HGH Releasers are much safer than injections or sprays precisely for this reason. Rather than ingesting or injecting a foreign hormone into the body, HGH Releasers stimulate increased production of your body's own growth hormones. This in turn eliminates the adverse side effects you would receive from other forms of HGH replacement.

Pros: Many herbal HGH Releasers are very effective, according to several recent studies. Herbal HGH Releasers are much cheaper than injections or oral sprays and have no side effects. Also, herbal HGH Releasers do not require a prescription.

Cons: none


So what does this information tell us?

Based on all I've seen and read about Human Growth Hormone, it definitely appears that herbal HGH Releasers are the cheapest, safest and most effective way to boost or replenish your natural HGH levels.

Injectable Growth Hormone (Somatotropin) is problematic to say the very least because it is injected in large quantities (international units). Somatotropin pronounced (SoMAHtoeTRO'pin, aka: Growth Factor, hGH, HGH, Growth Hormone, GH, Human Growth Hormone) is naturally produced by the anterior Pituitary gland in the brain.
Side effects; injection site damage, insulin sensitivity, tumor growth and Acromegaly to name a few.
Recombinant is simply a term to indicate that it's produced in an FDA approved laboratory, just like insulin is produced today for diabetics and is delivered is less than an international unit, and not problematic. Somatotropin is no longer harvested from human or animal part sources like it was 30 years ago. The Rejuvenis Max formulation is developed utilizing the highest quality source Growth Hormone from the leading FDA approved manufacturer in America. And, unlike the costly injectable form of HGH, which has been shown to cause side effects such as joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, allergic reactions, edema and tumor growth, the Rejuvenis Max rGH is safe, has no side effects and inexpensive as compared to injectable GH.
In the skin, documentation regarding somatotropin (HGH) supplementation has shown increased collagen synthesis, which makes the skin thicker and smoother. In the bone, these studies showed increased bone density. In the internal organs and sex organs, research showed markedly improved function.
The immune system, research also showed increased immune system regulation and activity, resulting in fewer infectious illnesses. In adults, HGH is necessary for proper repair and regeneration of injured tissues.
One of the widely reported results of somatotropin (HGH) supplementation is the effect it has on the body's sexual centers. Research shows heightened desire and function in both men and women.
As a result of the decline in somatotropin (HGH) with age and because it is the master hormone, other hormones also decline with age, such as Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone and DHEA, as well as many other important mood-elevating hormones. Examples of other hormones that also decrease are thyroid and thymus hormones, which can cause menopause in women and andropause in men.
The Anti-Aging Clinic Assoc., Inc., in Tamarac Florida, utilizes bioidentical (meaning not synthetic—all natural) hormone replacement therapy for women to balance hormones, and the process starts with an 11-panel saliva test collected over the course of one month. Please see the website http://www.LiveLonger123.com link to hormone therapy.
The majority of the manufacturers of spray rGH do not work, due to the size of the molecule and its inability to pass through the tissue orally.
The (rGH) /(HGH) molecule is very large but the Rejuvenis Mas rGH will pass through the tissue because it has a vector. Because the rGH cannot be absorbed into the body it requires a delivery mechanism known as a vector. Most companies, except for Rejuvenis Max, do not use a specific delivery mechanism. They crudely mix (rGH)/ (HGH) in water, alcohol, or glycerin, without a delivery mechanism, which renders it essentially unable to be absorbed by your body. Furthermore, alcohol fractures the delicate molecule and renders it useless.
There are also many amino acid based products (so-called HGH "boosters", "stimulators", "promoters", "precursors", "secretagogues", "effervescents", "IGF-1 maximizers", "supporting compounds and synergists", and other (claimed) similar but inferior products sold, claiming to increase HGH. Although amino acids are the building blocks to hormone and cellular production, amino acids alone do not raise your HGH levels. You are simply being lied to.
