Antiaging Human Growth Hormone
Hormones can be thought of as "messengers" that are produced by the endocrine glands and then sent all over the body to stimulate specified activities. For example, growth, digestion, reproduction, and sexual functions are all triggered by hormones and they all depend on hormones to work properly.
HGH is one of several endocrine hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA that decline in production as we age. As its name suggests, human Growth Hormone is an endocrine hormone that makes humans grow.
HGH is a complex protein molecule of 191 amino acids linked in a specific sequence. It is secreted in pulses by the pituitary gland. These pulses vary between 10 and 30 per day and can be strengthened by exercise. For years, doctors have prescribed HGH for children who needed a growth boost but growth deficiencies do not just affect children, they can be a significant problem fo adults too. HGH is critical for tissue repair, healing, muscle growth, bone strength, brain function, physical and mental health, energy, and metabolism.
Here’s the catch. It seems the human body may have certain “timers” which have an impact over things like how tall you are, when you enter puberty, and so on. Some of these timers may also slow down hormone production and there may be timers, which ultimately end your life at some maximum life span. Some of these things may be helped with nutrition. For example, hormone balance can be greatly affected, both positively and negatively, by nutrition. Other so-called timers may be “normal biology” and therefore happen no matter what you do. Some of these timers might be affected by genetic manipulation, but no such technology exists so don’t believe any claims about changing your DNA to extend your life for about another 50 years.
