Human Growth Hormone (HGH, also known as Somatotropin) has a beneficial effect on every cell of our body. On command from the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland produces Human Growth Hormone, but as we get older, the pituitary gland does not release it. Science once believed that HGH was only required while the body grew to maturity; research now indicates that at any age, HGH is necessary in almost all functions of the body. But once the body matures, the levels of released HGH lowers, by as much as 80% from age 21 to 61. As HGH dimishes, so does the youth of our bodies.

The pituitary gland releases Human Growth Hormone in minute amounts, during the hours of sleep. During sleep, HGH helps repair the body, stimulating the growth of new muscle, bone and to replenish the cells with amino acids. With plenty of Human Growth Hormone, the effects of aging are reduced.

The Director of Geriatric Medicine at the Chicago Medical School University Of Health Sciences, Dr. Daniel Rudman, produced the results of his experiments with HGH in the New England Journal Of Medicine. He injected a group of 12 men, ages 61 to 81, with human growth hormone, During a six month period, and reversed their biological ages by 10 to 20 years. Dr. Rudman’s experiments produced a reduction in body fat by 14%, and lean muscle increased by almost 9%. Skin grew more youthful, and the test subjects reported more energy, and an increased sex drive.

Dr. Edmund Chein, M.D. of the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute, created an HGH regime that involved restoring levels of human growth hormone with low dose, high frequency injections. Dr. Chein assures his patients will experience increases in bone density of 1.5 to 2.5% every 6 months, as well as 10% loss of body fat, and increased muscle, and that this may continue until the patient attains the body of a 25 year old. This HGH regime is highly effective, but also very expensive; more than $1,500 a month! » Read more: HGH (Human Growth Hormone) Research
