HGH (Human Growth Hormone) - Saizen



Saizen HGH Human Growth Hormone

Human Growth Hormone or hGH as it is more popularly known, is the most abundant hormone produced by one of the endocrine glands (located in the centre of the brain - the hypothalamus) called the pituitary gland. It is the largest hormone created by the gland and is the most complicated due to the fact it is made up of 191 amino acids. hGH is one of many hormones secreted by the pituitary gland and the pituitary gland is extremely important because the release of its hormones actually trigger other hormones within the body to be released. It could be described as a hierarchy of chemical messengers (hormones) with the most significant and powerful being those from the pituitary who order other hormones to kick-start into action. It is the brain’s hypothalamus which connects the central nervous and glandular systems and of course the brain is at the helm and at the top of the hierarchy. The pituitary gland releases the majority of its hGH in your teens during puberty because hGH is essentially responsible for growth. Unfortunately the pituitary gland dramatically decreases production from age 30 and progressively declines. It is one of life’s ironies that out of all the different pituitary hormones, hGH which has the most important function, ultimately affecting every cell within the body, shows the biggest and fastest drop with age.

The production of hGH continues as we age (normally during sleep) as without it we would not be able to function. Below shows an example of the radical decline in the secretion of the body’s hGH levels as we age:

  • At 20 years old we average 500 micrograms/day
  • At 40 years old we average 200 micrograms/day
  • At 80 years old we average 25 micrograms/day

Yet ironically, research has shown that the hGH producing cells within the pituitary of elderly people are frequently making as much hGH as young people. Therefore the problem must then lay with insufficient and poor hGH release rather than the amount being manufactured. This important complicated hormone has been used successfully for many years with young children whose growth was severely stunted and adults whose pituitary glands had been damaged but it obviously needed greater attention. Could this hormone hold the key to the fountain of youth?

In 1990 the world of anti-aging medicine changed forever when the New England Journal of Medicine, published a human clinical study on the effects on the use of synthetic hGH. Human growth hormone was used by 12 elderly men aged between 61 and 81. Astoundingly, without any change in any aspect of their lifestyle all 12 men gained muscle, lost fat, increased their bone density, thickened their skin and expanded their livers and spleens by almost 20%. In effect their biological age had been reversed by 10 to 20 years!

In spite of these remarkable results the questions still remains that if the pituitary gland is still secreting hGH, why do HGH levels decrease as we age? One theory is that the pituitary gland does not recognise the fact that it should continue producing hGH. There are many factors which encourage hGH release like strenuous exercise for example but there are many all too common factors also that inhibit hGH release.

An increase in the stress hormone cortisol and excessive insulin coupled with insulin resistance (commonly leading to obesity) all inhibit hGH release.

When the pituitary gland responds to hypothalamus it briefly releases hGH into the bloodstream. The largest growth factor to be released at this time is Insulin like Growth Factor One (IGF-1). Most of hGH’s benefits arrive through the action of IGF-1. Both hGH and IGF-1 aid in the delivery of the materials needed for repair and renovation to our cells.

We are not helping our hGH secretion by over indulging in our fat and calorie rich diet which promotes insulin excess and high fats content within the blood. hGH secretion and its subsequent effect is being constantly hampered with our sedentary lifestyle and pro-diabetes attitude. How often do we reach the intense exercise stimulus needed to produce hGH release? Add to this our increase in the stress hormone cortisol and it is no wonder we are destroying the potential benefits of body accessible hGH.

Thus hGH injections may provide the "jump start" we need to increase our own hGH production and release, with consequent rejuvenation and regeneration.

With the following list of benefits it is easy to understand why hGH is one of the most sort after and popular anti-aging drugs available today.

  • 8.8% increase in muscle mass on average after six months, without exercise
  • 14.4% loss of fat on average after six months, without dieting
  • Higher energy levels and enhanced sexual performance
  • Increased size various organs including the heart, liver and kidneys.
  • Immune function improvement
  • Improved cholesterol
  • Denser bones
  • Thicker skin
  • Increased well being
  • Improved sleep patterns
  • Powerful antioxidant properties

Human Growth Hormone is a prescription medicine for obvious reasons. We strongly recommend the consultation with a medical professional before,after and during the use of injectable hGH. The FDA does not approve or disapprove of Dietary Supplements and this is why there are so many supplements on the market claiming to increase hGH levels. It is imperative that a recognised pharmaceutical company is manufacturing your hGH and the only proven way to supplement hGH is via subcutaneous and intramuscular injection. Because of the popularity of this ‘fountain of youth’ medicine there are thousands of inferior copies on the market, the best advice is buyer beware.
