What is Human Growth Hormone(hGH)

Ever heard people said HGH can keep you 10 years younger?The fact is that's just one the benefits of HGH?Others HGH Replacement Therapy include control the cholesterol levels ,stimulating metabolism, improving glucose and controlling blood pressure,etc.

What is Human Growth hormone (hGH)?
hGH also known as Human Growth hormone is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland and is one of the most important hormones influencing growth and development in humans.



hGH plays a major role in normal growth from birth to adulthood. It stimulates the liver and
other tissues to secrete insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). IGF-1 stimulates production of
cartilage cells, resulting in bone growth and also plays a key role in muscle growth.

Low hGH levels in children and teenagers can result in dwarfism. Excessive hGH secretion in
children (which is extremely rare and usually resulting from a tumour of the pituitary gland)
can result in giantism.



The production of Human Growth Hormone HGH, and its metabolite IGF-1, decreases with age at an average rate of about two to four percent each year. At age 20, normal daily HGH production is about 500 micrograms. By age 80, it falls to 60 (or less) micrograms of HGH and many doctors consider IGF-1 levels below 200 to be HGH deficient.

In adults, some conditions (such as tumours) may cause excess secretion of hGH after puberty, and while this has little effect on skeletal growth, it can result in a condition known as acromegaly (abnormal growth of bones of the hands, feet and face).

Medically, Human Growth hormone has been used to treat deficiency disorders in children and adults. Before 1985, hGH was primarily obtained from the pituitary glands of cadavers. The development of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (a degenerative brain disorder) in those who were treated with hGH produced in this way led to the discontinuation of all products derived from the human pituitary gland. This has led to development of artificial (recombinant) hGH (rhGH).

Medical preparations of hGH are usually a sterile white powder that is reconstituted and then
injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly.Due to it functionality It is illegal to use Human Growth hormone without a prescription in some countries.E.G. hGH is banned under the Olympic Movement's World Anti-Doping Code Prohibited Classes of Substances and Prohibited Methods.
