HGH in scientific studies
Over the years there have been numerous studies on HGH, especially studies intended to verify and confirm the positive physiological effects of HGH on the human body. From 1958-1980 thousands of children were the subjects of HGH injections which were widely shown to be beneficial in treating their growth deficiencies.
Most other studies on HGH, (which since the mid 1980's has been produced synthetically instead of extracted from the human body) have shown to produce desirable results when administered upon the human body. HGH replacement therapy has been included in at least 20,000 well documented global clinical experiments, and through these trials HGH has proven to produce significant positive effects upon certain human characteristics, specifically muscle mass, bone, and connective tissue, along with general health and energy level benefits. Other cited effects of HGH include restoration of immune function, improved cognition, faster healing of wounds, sharper vision, and even regrowth of hair, among others.
More good news is to date there is no evidence that taking HGH on a regular basis is associated with the formation of any type of cancer.
Clinical results suggest that HGH provides a safe and affordable way to positively stimulate physical and mental function and benefit the subject's overall quality of life.
HGH is a complex polypeptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland of the human body. HGH stimulates the liver to produce somatomedins, which cause growth of a number of different body tissues. The hormone regulates tissue growth, cellular repair, energy levels, fat loss and muscle growth in the human body. HGH is especially crucial to body development during puberty, and is present in the greatest quantities during this period of human development. HGH was first discovered in the 1950's when it was isolated from the pituitaries of humans and apes. The hormone was found to stimulate growth in children who suffered from growth disorders. Cadavers supplied the first generation of HGH.
Humans normally experience peak levels of HGH sometime in their 20's. The hormone is very active and crucial during development, however, scientific research has shown that as the human body ages, levels of HGH begin to progressively decline. Often, older adults who have low levels of HGH may experience decreased energy levels, decreased resilience, and/or emotional distress.
Often, people suspect that they might benefit from added supplementation of HGH, which is now available to the consumer market over the counter. Some common brands are Genotropin, Humatrope, Nutropin, Saizen, Serostim, Somatropin, and Zorbative. Until 1996, HGH was available in injectable form only, which made its use unrealistic for the consumer due to the expense. In 1996, advances were made upon the method of delivery of HGH, and delivery systems such as oral spray microdilution and oral cap/tab supplements were introduced to the consumer market.
