Antiaging Human Growth Hormone
Here’s the catch. It seems the human body may have certain “timers” which have an impact over things like how tall you are, when you enter puberty, and so on. Some of these timers may also slow down hormone production and there may be timers, which ultimately end your life at some maximum life span. Some of these things may be helped with nutrition. For example, hormone balance can be greatly affected, both positively and negatively, by nutrition. Other so-called timers may be “normal biology” and therefore happen no matter what you do. Some of these timers might be affected by genetic manipulation, but no such technology exists so don’t believe any claims about changing your DNA to extend your life for about another 50 years.
Hormones are tiny chemical messengers that help our body do different tasks. Hormones are made up of amino acids. Hormones are produced by the endocrine glands and then sent all over the body to stimulate certain activities. For example, Insulin is a well known hormone that helps our body digest food. Our growth, digestion, reproduction and sexual functions are all triggered by hormones.
It is believed that the decrease of human growth hormone in adults plays an important role in the effects of aging.
What is Human Growth Hormone?
Human Growth Hormone (HGH or hGH) is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland (pituitary is one of the endocrine glands). The pituitary gland is located in the center of the brain. HGH is also a very complex hormone. It is made up of 191 amino acids - making it fairly large for a hormone. In fact, it is the largest protein created by the Pituitary gland. Growth Hormone is known to be critical for tissue repair, muscle growth, healing, brain function, physical and mental health, bone strength, energy and metabolism. In short, it is very important to just about every aspect of our life!
