GH Releasers

GH has been referred to as the "Fountain of Youth". it has astounded the medically community with its numerous positive physiological effects on degenerative conditions related to both aging and disease. Spokes persons from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) have documented the following effects of hGH: decreasing fat tissue, increasing lean tissue, increasing bone density, bolstering the tone and action of the heart muscle, increasing exercise capacity, improved cholesterol profile (higher HDL and lower LDL) and improving mood and motivation.

Younger thicker skin with tightening and lessening of wrinkles, hair regrowth, sharper vision, increased memory retention, improved sleep, regeneration of tissues in degenerative diseases have also been noted. The basic biochemical interaction necessary for these results also yield other benefits.

All of them have rejuvenating properties, including what could be called "the rejuvenation of the immune system. "For example, because of its effects on DNA repair, hGH is more effective than antioxidants in its support of the immune system. When DNA is not repaired, subsequent cells carry a damaged blueprint, resulting in ongoing symptoms of weakened immunity.

Growth hormone and IGF make it possible for DNA to better repair itself before cell division. This means that new cells don't repair the damage sustained by the originating DNA. Like the other important hormones (estrogen, DHEA, etc.), hGH levels also decline with age. Production peaks in adolescence at 780 mcg in 24 hours. Then it declines steadily, at the rate of about 14 percent each decade after age 30. to sixty, production rate is reduced by half.

When we reach eighty, only about 25 mcg are still produced. During approximately the same time, our liver, kidneys, brain, and pancreas atrophy by 30 percent. The significant negative effects that can be observed in aging people (increases fat deposition, a reduction in energy, and decreased immunity) are all directly related to diminished levels of hGH. In 1985, recombinant DNA technology yielded synthetic hGH. Since that time, supplies have been virtually unlimited. With this breakthrough, children and adults identified as hGH deficient have been receiving the help they need. Further, the FDA broadened the medical application of hGH to include the treatment of persons suffering from wasting due to AIDS/HIV. 

According to the researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, six months of growth hormone therapy were equivalent in magnitude to the regression of aging by 10-20 years! Among the effects, participants lost an average of 14 percent body fat and gained 8.8 percent lean body mass. Is it any wonder that youth seeking adults and athletes wanting to optimize lean muscle mass and performance are paying $75-$200 weekly for injections? Or that non-prescription alternatives are showing up everywhere?

 Non-Prescriptive 

Non- prescriptive alternatives are far less costly than injections. They include homeopathic remedies, oral sprays, secrtalogues, and colostrum. (Secretalogues are formulas which are said to stimulate the sercreation of hGH. hGH levels are not measured directly. Because it is secreted in pulses mostly in the early hours of sleep, 24 hour circulation amounts are difficult to ascertain. However, the presence of hGH signals the liver to secrete insulin-like growth factor or IGH. The presence of IGH is relatively constant, making it convenient as a baseline measurement.

For example, in one study, all participants had a IGF baseline of less than 350 u/l. Levels rose to 500 - 1500 during treatment.  Both the sprays and homeopathic remedies have laboratory documentation showing increases in IGF levels. Both the sprays and the remedies contain very tiny amounts of recombinant growth hormone. The sprays are in a proprietary polymer matrix which allows uptake through the  palate. The manufacturer calls it a "stimulant dose". In other words, it encourages the body to secrete hGH. The homeopathic remedy is also made from biosynthesized hHG. In this case, the hormone is potentized. This results in minute particles recognized by the pituitary and/or the liver. IGH and possibly hGH, is produced. The company which manufactures homeopathic hGH also produces four homeopathic growth factors

 Human Growth Hormone also known as hGH, is a youth restoring substance. hGH is considered to be the "master hormone" of the body. It directs and supports the function of every other gland and organ. Clinical studies conducted over the past eight years by doctors and researchers at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine have demonstrated that hGH depletion is a major cause of aging and the vast array of ailments and infirmities that go along with it.

Pure IGF directly supplements the growth factors that are the key to age related symptoms. The actions of growth factors are the restoration of normal body processes and strengthening of the body, possibly leading to mental and physical performance increases and enhancement of the immune system. Reduced levels of growth factors; including IGF-1, have been linked to the effects of aging due to the decreased activity of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland produces human growth hormone that stimulates the eventual production of growth factors. With reduced production of growth hormone, the levels of growth factors decline with age. Pure IGFTM contains the most powerful blend of growth factors in a naturally occurring matrix. These naturally occurring growth factors are involved in every cellular function in the human body from metabolism to the human response. Pure IGFTM provides a solution to the age-old quest for the fountain of youth by giving us a natural concentration of anti-aging components that turn back the hands of time.

Here's a natural method to increase your growth hormone production to build lean muscle mass and burn fat

Although weight training can help you burn fat build lean muscle mass without a change in diet, you'll achieve dramatic results faster when you couple your training with good nutritional know-how. For the bodybuilder, an important factor to consider when designing a diet is growth hormone production. As you probably know, growth hormone can help increase lean muscle mass, and high levels help keep fat at a minimum. But did you know that diet can increase your body's natural product of this important bodybuilding hormone?

Growth hormone is produced naturally in our bodies. It is at its highest levels while we are children and adolescents. As we age, production decreases.

Many scientists theorize that this is a major factor responsible for middle-age weight gain and loss of lean muscle tissue. Others attribute the reduction in growth hormone to decreased vitality and sex drive. Many "rejuvenation" clinics offer growth hormones supplementation as a way to restore many of the qualities of youth. And unless you're so native to believe that most pro bodybuilders are natural, you know how growth hormone supplementation is used in the sport of bodybuilding.  While synthetic growth hormone supplementation is effective, it is also expensive and carries serious consequences.

However, following a few simple dieting guidelines and I  when using the proper supplementation program will enhance your body's natural ability to produce growth hormone in amounts that are perfectly safe and carry no unwanted side effects. 

                  Increasing Growth Hormone Production

 Growth hormone is produced when we sleep. For optimum growth hormone production your last meal of the evening should be high in protein and low in fat and simple sugars.  Avoid meals high in fat and carbs in the evening. Since protein coming from foods such as: chicken, fish and red meat contain fats and need time to digested and bean and rice are high in carbs, an ideal protein meal would be a protein replacement drink.

A protein replacement drink to use in the evening which contains no simple sugars, is nearly fat free and is loaded with high quality protein.  Several studies have shown that fasting two hours before bedtime can help growth hormone production. The deeper and more soundly you sleep, the better.

Avoiding exercise, sugars, alcohol and caffeine two hours before bedtime is prudent advice. Another important factor to monitor is the glycemic index  of the foods you eat. This index is usually based on a scale of 0 to 110. Glycemic levels are controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps you store fat and digest sugar.

A high glycemic level results when you  eat high in simple sugars; a low glycemic level results when you eat foods high in protein and complex carbohydrates.

Studies have shown that if you keep your glycemic index low during the day (eating foods under 50),  you can increase your growth hormone secretion.

If you want more information on food choices, there are several elaborate charts available that will tell you the glycemic index of foods. These can be obtained through a dietitian, and are available in more detailed books about nutrition you can find at your local library.

To lose weight while building muscle, protein intake should be about 30-40 percent of your total calories. Unfortunately, many of the foods that contain protein, such as red meat, are high in saturated fat. 

Also, many of the popular mass gainer protein powders contain large amounts of simple sugars. You should look for high protein, low carbs, fat and not high calories. One solution is a protein with between 20-30 gms. of protein, 1-10 gms of carbs and less than 2 gms of fat. Certain supplements also help increase your growth hormone products.

For  maximum results, try stacking L-Glutamine with Creatine.   In addition to diet, another way to increase your body's natural growth hormone production is by creating high lactate levels in the muscle through weight training. This means you should perform each of your weight training exercises for a prolonged duration (about 60-90 seconds) with seldom more than 60 seconds between sets.
