Safe Alternatives to Human Growth Hormone

Welcome back!

There’s always been a lot of hype about Human Growth Hormone. Probably most of you know that that growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland and declines rapidly as we age.  In many people, it’s almost completely gone by the time they reach 60.

An adult GH deficiency (AGHD) syndrome has been documented, consisting of:

• central obesity (increased fat deposits in the abdominal area)
• loss of muscle mass
• decreased strength and aerobic capacity
• decreased bone mineral density
• harmful changes in cholesterol levels
• low energy and greatly decreased quality of life.

Unfortunately, injections of HGH are cost prohibitive for most people and can be risky. There are safe alternatives, although there are plenty of nay-sayers that claim only the injections of HGH are effective.

Others claim that GH secretagogues, which are substances that promote the secretion of GH, can also be effective – especially if they are taken early enough.  Except in unusual cases, no one should require help with GH production prior to age 30 or even 40. However, recent studies have shown that supplementation with GH secretagogues,  primarily a combination of arginine and lysine.

The amino acids that stimulate the release the GH are arginine, lysine, ornithine, tyrosine and tryptophan. However, it has been discovered that only a specific type of arginine (arginine pyroglutamate) combined with L-lysine makes the best GH releaser.

Recent studies show that treatment with GH secretagogues cause improvement in the ability of brain cells to communicate with one another.

Important Factors to Know – Please read this

You may get better results if you DON’T take your GH releaser every day. It turns out that the body can develop a tolerance to GH supplementation. It depends upon your age and GH levels but every other day to only 2 or 3 times a week should be sufficient. It might also be helpful to change supplementation and to take a break for a month every so often.

Another important consideration is the use of aspirin or antihistamines. They have been shown to block the GH release and should not be taken within 8 hours before or after you take your GH supplement.

Fat or a fatty meal will also severely decrease the release of GH. Be careful what you eat before and after your supplementation.

In conclusion, HGH supplementation for people over 40 can prove to be part of an anti-aging regime. It’s important to do your research to avoid wasting your money. Do your own experimentation to see what works for you but be smart about it.

Here are a couple of good choices:

Secretagogue Gold
