Anti Aging Human Growth Hormone Becomes Popular In The US

USA (SANEPR.com) July 1, 2008 -- Human growth hormone (GH) has recently become popular as an antiaging therapy for healthy adults, even though it has not been approved by the U.S. The limited studies that have evaluated GH therapy in healthy elderly persons suggest that GH is associated with a small increase in lean body mass and a small decrease in body fat.

Human growth hormone is illicitly used as an anti-aging agent, to improve athletic performance, and for bodybuilding purposes. It is marketed, distributed, and illegally prescribed off-label to aging adults to replenish declining hGH levels and reverse age-related bodily deterioration.

Human growth hormone is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland and is active throughout life, but highly so during childhood and adolescence. It has numerous effects; it causes cells to grow by directly increasing the number of amino acids that enter cells, stimulating protein anabolism, and decreases protein catabolism.

Human growth hormone is not a controlled substance under Federal law at this time, but it is appropriate to add it to the state schedule to curtail its diversion and abuse. This Federal law was enacted to prevent abuse of anabolic steroids by professional athletes and to address widespread abuse of anabolic steroids and their precursors by college, high school, and middle school students.

HGH is one of the medical products that can now be manufactured through genetic engineering while the herbal hgh releasers stimulate its secretion in the body. In the past, its only source was recently dead human donors. Human growth hormone has, since 1985, been made synthetically and thus no longer carries the risk of disease transmission.

Human Growth Hormone, produced by the anterior pituitary gland - may have two major effects on a healthy human body. Both of them are highly positive. Human Growth Hormone promotes tissue repair, cell regeneration in the bones, muscles and vital organs, and supports the immune system in combating infection and disease. As the body's cells die off, HGH acts as a trigger to ensure that replacement cells are healthy and readily available.
