Human growth hormone (HGH) has been acclaimed to restore youthfulness, enhance fitness as well as reverse the effects of aging. HGH, the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland, comprises 191 amino acids that make it a fairly large hormone and the largest protein created by the pituitary gland.
HGH is responsible for every aspect of your life from tissue repair, muscle growth, bone strength, physical and mental health, brain function to energy and metabolism.
HGH secretion in the body reaches its peak during adolescence. However, HGH secretion continues after adolescence but in smaller quantity.
IGF-1 also known as Somatomedin-C is an Insulin-like Growth Factor and the most important growth factor in the body. Although HGH is important it doesn’t last very long in the bloodstream. Your liver absorbs and converts HGH into growth factors. IGF-1 stays much longer in the blood stream. It is a hormone just like HGH but it does most of the work.
Is it possible to maintain high HGH as you age?
There is a way to do it. Scientists recognised that the body produces less HGH as a person ages. With this in mind they synthesized the recombinant growth hormone (GH) in the lab.
Having studied the DNA component of the protein they tried to reproduce the 191 amino acid hormone. In 1985, Genentech, one of the world’s leading biotech companies, was the first to produce the growth hormone. However, their discovery was short lived because the recombinant they produced had 190 amino acids. They failed to replicate HGH because their product was short one amino acid.
In 1986, Eli Lily, seized a glorious opportunity and developed the identical match to HGH. Humatrope, the most widely used recombinant growth hormone, tops the list. Since then, other companies have developed various brands of recombinant growth hormone.
Any doctor who has permission to handle the drug can inject a daily dosage of the GH to increase the overall growth hormone in the body. High HGH has many positive effects on the body. With this in mind, many companies have developed dietary supplements that increase HGH levels.
The remarkable effect of elevated HGH levels is the closest scientists have come to the mysterious ‘fountain of youth.’ However, not all the products in the market are potent, safe and effective.
This comprehensive eBook, ‘Restore Youthfulness: The HGH Miracle,’ provides useful information about HGH, its benefits, possible side effects, the different types of products available in the market and how it helps to rejuvenate the body.
