What is Human Growth Hormone? The peptide now known as Human Growth Hormone was named “the hormone of growth” in 1912 and was first isolated from primate cadavers in 1941. Also known as somatotropin, hGH consists of 191 amino acids and is the main hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Working in concert with estrogen and testosterone, hGH triggers puberty--when hGH levels peak--and regulates normal development. Through a complex feedback loop involving hypothalamic control hormones and other regulatory factors, hGH is produced and released into blood circulation. Because secretion of all of these hormones naturally dwindle later in life, resulting in age-related changes in body composition, energy and sexual function, and essential physiological systems, replenishing them should, in theory, slow or reverse some of the degenerative effects of aging.
Natural Human Growth Hormone Beginning around the age of 20 years old, our natural production of somatotropin (HGH) begins to decline at the average rate of 14% per decade.
By the age of 40, somatotropin (HGH) production has decreased 30% over our youthful production level, and by the age of 60, by 80% on average. The decline in somatotropin (HGH) correlates with many of the effects of aging including loss of lean body mass (muscle, bone, skin and internal organs), increase in total body fat, thinning and wrinkling of skin, decreased immune function and decreased sexual desire and function.
As a result of the decline in somatotropin (HGH), and because it is the master hormone, other hormones also decline with age, such as Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone and DHEA, as well as many other important mood-elevating hormones. Examples of other hormones that also decrease are thyroid and thymus hormones, which can cause menopause in women and andropause in men.

The Fountain Of Youth“Increased HGH levels are the only anti-aging treatment known that actually makes people look younger!” (Ronald M Klatz M.D. “Ten Weeks to A Younger You”) As we age, our skin becomes thinner and loses its firm texture and elasticity. In the world-renowned study by Dr. Daniel Rudman, after increasing HGH levels, elderly men experienced an average 7.1% increase of skin thickness. A further self evaluation of 202 people taking HGH for six months resulted in two thirds reporting improvement in skin texture, skin thickness, and elasticity. Of this same group, 61% observed fewer wrinkles and 38% reported healthier hair.
Do You Remember The Energy And Endurance Of Your Youth?Remember when you were a teenager and could run, play all day, and stay up late at parties, and never get tired?
Remember how smooth and healthy your skin was, or how you could eat what you wanted without putting on too much weight?
The gradual loss of energy, endurance, and all of the other conditions we normally associate with the aging process is a result of the ever-decreasing human growth hormone levels we experience as we grow older. Today, doctors and health care professionals worldwide believe there is direct correlation between the aging process and the gradual decline of our human growth hormone production.
Sexual performance anxiety in men
Libido can be a problem as we age due to the decrease of hormones in our bodies, but it certainly can be an issue in any age due to stress and the environment that we live in. I have found in my clinic that Natural HGH Complex helps improve this area by releasing more of your own HGH throughout your body; which in turn helps with balancing out your hormones.
Also let’s not forget stress which plays a huge part in libido, it can have a snowballing effect which only perpetuates the stress problem.
A lot of men due to stress and working hard quite often get run down and become nutrient deficient, so it is important to not only balance the hormones but replace all the nutrients that the body is missing to that end we suggest 3 months on Natural HGH Complex, Super Greens, and Super Reds, which should put that bounce back in your step. Also look at relaxation therapy and exercise.
The Amino Acids Story
Over the years there has been people singing the praise of certain amino acids such as Arginine Pyroglutamate, L/Lysine and L/Ornithine as HGH releasers that help in their well being.
The amino acids Arginine Pyroglutamate, L/lysine and L/Ornithine have been shown to be the main precursors the the natural production of HGH in the body.
One of the studies done on these amino acids was in 1981 by Italian researches A. Isidora, M.D. at the university of Rome. The study found that the combination of a unique form of Arginine and L/Lysine in fifteen male volunteers between the ages of fifteen and twenty was ten times more effective than taking Arginine alone. The researchers were quoted as saying "we could demonstrate that the association of the two amino acids does result in the release of biologically active hormone able to affect peripheral cellular receptors and thus cell growth in general." Lysine by itself is not a powerful HGH (Human Growth Hormone) enhancer, but when combined in a precise formula with a special form of Arginine, there is evidence that this combination may increase thymic hormone secretion in older animals and humans, partially reversing the immunodeficiency of aging.
Another small trial of healthy subjects taking 2g of oral L/Glutamate in a carbonated drink produced a significant elevation in plasma hGH for 8 of the 9 study subjects. Mr Jamieson speculated that effervescence may act as a facilitative delivery system. An earlier study had found oral administration of two amino acids, L/Lysine plus L/Arginine, worked synergistically to trigger increased stimulation of hGh and IGF-1, where as neither nutrients did so by itself. (Sala Horowitz, PhD.)
Having talked to and worked on many people over the last 20 years who consistently use natural HGH releasers, they have experienced increased energy, enhanced recovery and endurance after exercise, improved sleep and a feeling of well being in general.
Other areas that people have commented on are as follows:
-
less problems with flu's and colds, not getting sick like they use to
-
healthier and thicker skin, not bruising as easily and less wrinkles
-
another comment we hear a lot is how they feel they have got the bounce back in their step, a feeling of more vitality
It has been found that Arginine Pyroglutamate, L/Lysine and L/Ornithine main precursors to the natural production of HGH in the body, when specifically formulated in the right combinations and purity can assist active people in achieving performance goals. These amino acids can be used, before, during or after sustained strenuous exercise.
Here was another article by Al Sears, M.D. February 15th, 2008 - "Total Health Breakthroughs"
Arginine: This is an essential amino acid your body can't make on it's own. Not only does it flip the "on switch" for HGH production; it neutralizes substances called "somatostatins" that block HGH's anti-aging action. Arginine also help you burn fat and build muscle, boosting physical strength and endurance.
Glutamine: Your body relies on it heavily during times of stress. It also promotes healthy immune and digestive function. Without enough glutamine your body starts to lose muscle and your immune system weakens. Glutamine also raises HGH levels. Researches from Louisiana State University College of Medicine found that just 2 grams of glutamine raised HGH levels more that four times higher than those who took the placebo.
