How HGH can Help you

Your body naturally makes growth hormones to help fuel growth during your childhood and to help maintain your tissues and organs throughout your lifetime. This hormone is called HGH (Human Growth Hormone). During your late 30s and early 40s, your pituitary gland, the pea-sized structure at the base of your brain where the human growth hormone is produced slowly starts reducing the amount of HGH produced by it.

Some people believe that the dwindling levels of this human growth hormone is main factor responsible for the frailty that typically comes as a result of getting old. This belief has prompted some people who are typically concerned about turning old and eventually losing their independence to turn to injections of synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) to avoid having to face the ugly realities of growing older and the great amounts of problems that accompany old age. However, even after all of this, there is very little evidence suggesting HGH is really responsible for aging and that synthetic introduction of HGH can slow down or even reverse the ageing process!

Studies have been carried out on healthy older adults taking human growth hormone though they don’t need it, however they are quite limited in number. Many of these studies involve a very small number of people followed for quite a short period of time. The studies that have been conducted have found that human growth hormone injections can considerably increase muscle mass and reduce the content of body fat in healthy older adults.

That increase in muscle doesn't translate into increased strength. Though the study participants gained muscle mass, they weren't any stronger. One study compared older men who took human growth hormone with older men who went through strength training programs. The bottom line: Strength training can increase both your muscle mass and your strength, making it cheaper and more effective than taking human growth hormone. However, it requires hours of rigorous exercise, dedication and strict fitness regimes to achieve desired results but intake of HGH is the option for the lazier ones.

It isn't clear whether human growth hormone can provide other health benefits, such as increased bone density and improved mood to healthy adults because these are mainly psychological processes and carrying out studies on these is quite a difficult job. Most of the research into human growth hormone has focused on people with true growth hormone deficiencies.
