HGH What Is It?
HGH, or Human Growth Hormone, is the main hormone the pituitary gland makes, and this is located in the middle of the human brain. The human growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland has many different functions.
But you might wonder how we need extra HGH if our bodies have the power to make HGH? What are the reasons for a HGH alternative?
Clinical research shows that when people turn thirty, their HGH levels decrease. Year by year, the amount of HGH in our bodies decreases at a steady rate. Experts say, in fact, that HGH levels can drop by 80% or even more as we get older.
Why does this matter?
Many researchers believe that a drop in our HGH levels causes many health problems and diseases associated with aging today - for example, gaining weight, reduction in energy, loss of muscle, wrinkles, weakened mental status, weakened immune system, vision problems and more.
Reduced amounts of HGH, then, are directly correlated to more aging symptoms. We begin to experience the negative side effects of aging when our HGH levels drop. In other words, to stop the signs of aging, you need more growth hormone production. If this hypothesis is accurate, then HGH might be helpful in fighting the aging process.
How, then, can we raise our HGH levels?
There are 3 separate ways to restore and make your HGH levels higher:
# be injected with human growth hormone
# spray your mouth with human growth hormone
# use herb supplements which improve the body’s HGH levels in natural way.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method? Which methods are really effective?
METHOD #1: HGH Injections
Results of many important studies imply that HGH injections are effective; nevertheless, a few shortcomings exist in the use of HGH injections.
Injections of synthetic HGH are usually necessary 2 or 3 times each day. The common price is $25 for each injection; therefore the price is around $50 to $75 to have HGH injected. Not only that, but recombinant, or injectable, growth hormone can only be obtained with a prescription. HGH injections are not covered by insurance companies since they don’t treat any known diseases. You’ll have to pay the price yourself!
As we said before, synthetic HGH (scientifically created) is used in injections. That is not natural. Side effects can happen whenever you introduce a good deal of foreign hormones to your body.
A July 5, 1990 study in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that some patients who take injections experienced side effects.
Pros: Injectable HGH works
Cons: Injectable HGH costs a lot, is uncomfortable, you need a prescription and there are bad side effects
