Are Human Growth Hormone Muscle Building Supplements Safe to Use?
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Ever since the dawn of civilization, may has tried to find a way reverse the aging process, extend life, and live forever. Up to this point, it has been very difficult to try to ‘turn back the clock’. However, we may be on to something. It is called human growth hormone, which is often known as HGH or Somatotropin.
Somatotropin seems to produce increases in the amounts of insulin-like hormone that is known as IGF-1.There is a direct correlation between the levels of this hormone in a person’s body and their age. If this hormone would be able to stay elevated, then would it be possible to slow the aging process all together? This is a very controversial subject within the ranks of physician.
The discovery of HGH has resulted in many vendors attempting to profit from its sale. Doctors may give injections of HGH to their patients. Many sellers are even offering this hormone in spray, pill, and homeopathic forms. Certainly these products are a lot cheaper than going to the doctor for a shot; however, the effectiveness of these products is questionable.
HGH research is particularly exciting since studies have shown it to be able to actually REVERSE signs of aging. Since our bodies do not secrete HGH effectively as we age, they cannot repair themselves to prevent breakdowns in many of our systems. Here are some of the benefits of having high levels of human growth hormone after the age of 40:
* Increases endurance and energy, improves sports performance as well as recovery
* HGH builds lean muscles mass and reduces fat accumulation
* Lowers blood pressure
* Improves cholesterol profiles as well as cardiac function
* Improves mood and sleep patterns
* HGH may help improve Crohn’s disease
* Increases immune system function
* HGH increases bone density and helps to reduce the chance of getting osteoporosis
* Improves libido and sexual performance
* HGH promotes thicker hair growth and reverses aging changes that take place in the skin
* Reduces the risk of contracting Type II diabetes
HGH will give you an increase in energy as well as endurance. These are benefits that you will recognize within 30-90 days after you have begun your HGH replacement therapy. It is not as easy to tell if our bones are getting stronger or that our immune systems are being strengthened. That is why it is the benefit of having more endurance and energy that will first be noticed.
For those who spend a lot of time working out or participating in sports, HGH replacement therapy has been noted to give a person improved exercise performance as well as improved levels of sports. However, HGH alone will not increase your skill levels. It will allow you to work harder and longer in order to develop those skills in the physical activity that you have chosen. Injectable HGH is outlawed in amateur competition because of its anabolic-like activity. However, GH releasers are not banned due to the fact that they are not considered to be drugs but are naturally found in foods.
