Human Growth Hormone: How It Works
Human Growth Hormone is a highly complex molecule that our bodies produce in our pituitary gland. In children it stimulates muscle, bone and organ growth. In adults in stimulates metabolism. As we age, our bodies secrete human growth hormone in ever decreasing amounts. We measure the amount of human growth hormone secreted by our bodies by IGF levels (insulin growth factor.)
The human growth hormone plays a huge role in generating body cells. It controls many bodily functions and body organs. Human growth hormone also stimulates the repair of body tissue, replacement of our body cells, functioning of our brains and function of our enzyme system.
The decrease of the amount of human growth hormone is significant as we age. Someone in his or her early 20's, thanks to human growth hormone, generates a new body cell for every single body cell that dies. But this same person, when she or he reaches fifty years of age, will only be able to regenerate one out of every two dead cells. Once this person is 70, the rate of cell regeneration is one for every three or four that die. Each day, seniors stand to lose between one and two million cells that their human growth hormone cannot replace.
Taking human growth hormone supplements or stimulators is an increasingly popular way to try to stem the tide of aging. Human growth hormone is a controlled substance, however, so it can be difficult to obtain without a doctor's prescription. Many supplements on the market today promise to help your body produce extra human growth hormone, to help you stay healthier and younger looking as you mature.
