If you are at all interested in anti-aging news or nutritional supplements, youve probably heard about hGH or Human Growth Hormone. Although it is important to discuss what HGH is and how it works, the main focus of this article is to review the various types of HGH supplementation. Lets briefly cover the basics.
What Is Growth Hormone?
GH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland. It generally releases the hormone in bursts. GH levels are high during puberty and then fall off. They remain stable during mid-adulthood (the 30s) but then decline progressively through old age. By the time many people reach 60, GH levels are very small. One third of the 60+ adults produce NO GH at all!
What Does It Do?
Why should we care about our GH levels? GH is important in repairing damaged tissue, promoting cell regeneration, enhancing muscle growth, burning fat, and supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Low GH levels could very well be the reason some of us age faster than others. Of course, heredity and life style choices factor into that.
Is There a Natural Way to Increase My GH Level?
That depends upon your age...
