Is HGH Solution To Aging And Wrinkles All Hype

In literature on techniques for anti-aging, "HGH" is heard frequently. For many people seeking to turn back the years with anti-aging supplements, HGH is an important part of their arsenal. So, what exactly is HGH?

HGH, or natural human growth hormone, with its 191 amino acids, is the largest protein created by the pituitary gland. Until HGH production reaches its peak in adolescence, just as the name implies, HGH stimulates the human body to grow. After adolescence, and during sleep, HGH continues to be produced in small amounts to assist with tissue repair, healing, muscle growth, brain function, bone strength, energy, metabolism, and physical and mental health. As we age, however, even this limited amount of HGH production continues to decrease.

What Does Supplementing HGH Accomplish?

Ever-the-counter HGH supplements offer a variety of potential benefits. They purport to build muscle mass, increase strength, redistribute body fat to create a leaner appearance, enhance the immune system, improve vision, enhance cognitive function, increase memory retention, and speed the healing of wounds. Collectively these effects can be described as anti-aging. HGH would appear then, on the face of things, to have miraculous properties.

What Are The Ways To Supplement HGH?

While no conclusive scientific evidence exists to confirm these claims, however, many people do turn to HGH to slow the effects of the passage of time. Most people cannot afford or cannot obtain pure HGH treatments which can only be administered by injection. There are four alternative methods of treatment.

HGH RELEASING AGENTS, AMINO ACIDS AT WORK

HGH releasing agents include specific amino acids including arginine, histidine, glutamine, ornithine, methionine, phenylalanine, and lyisine. Taken orally, these substances produce a temporary rise in HGH. While short-lived and not as intense as the effect of the bioidentical HGH, amino acid therapy is still under study and seems to be a promising avenue of research.

HOMEOPATHIC HGH, WATERED DOWN DOSES

Homeopathic theory maintains that the administration of a dilution of a substance to a healthy person will have the same effective results as a full-strength dose of the original substance. Most researchers agree that homeopathic HGH is so diluted it could not possibly offer any benefits whatsoever. Adherents to the practice, however, continue to maintain that some sort of "imprint" or "energy" remains in the dilution. Skeptics say this is so much chicanery.

NANOGRAM STRENGTH HGH, TINY DOSES

An even more diluted method of administering HGH is in nanogram strength. A nanogram is one-millionth of a milligram. This is 2 millioneth of the amount of HGH that would be present in a typical injection. Nanogram supplements are highly unlikely to work based on the size of the dosage and also because they are almost always given orally, under the tongue, or as a nasal spray, methods that simply do not work for HGH absorption.

IGF-1 ENHANCERS, RAISE ONE, RAISE THE OTHER

IGF-1 enhancers are very similar to insulin. They are polypeptides produced in the liver. It has been observed that when HGH goes up in the body so does IGF-1. Very little is known about the broader effects of raising IGF-1 levels but many HGH products contain colostrum (produced in mother's breast milk for the first few days after giving birth) which does contain IGF-1.
