- What Is HGH
Human Growth hormone (hGH) is produced in the body’s pituitary gland and is essential to the transformation of nutrients. It determines a child’s height and controls the protein metabolism in adults.
Virtually every organ and system in the body is dependent on hGH for proper growth, development and function. Human growth hormone is considered by many experts in the field of anti-aging medicine to be the master hormone.
Growth hormone secretion diminishes with age, activating or aggravating the body’s aging process. From 20 years of age on, production of the growth hormone declines an average of 14% every ten years. This drop in growth hormone production has many consequences in terms of aging, including loss of muscle mass, bone demineralization, diminished immune response, increase in fatty tissue and reduced capacity for tissue regeneration after an injury.
Research has shown that by the age of 40, our hGH production is down to 50% of youthful levels. By the age of 55 it sinks to 20%, which is not much more than someone in their 80s can produce.
