Benefits Of Human Growth Hormone (HGH): Clearing the Controversy

Every child is born with the human Growth Hormone, also known as GH. This hormone helps to build bones in children and ensures proper overall growth. The quantities of GH are highest in your body in childhood, and keep declining as you grow older. However, this does not indicate that you do not need GH in adulthood. In fact, adults too require adequate amounts of GH, a deficiency of which can cause premature graying and early onset of the aging process.

The Growth Hormone, also referred to as the Youth Hormone, is so called for a very good reason. Medical studies have proved beyond a doubt that maintaining optimum levels of GH in the body can have numerous benefits including:

  • Increased muscle mass
  • Strong immune system
  • High energy levels
  • Improved sexual ability
  • Loss of body fat
  • Better skin texture
  • Restful sleep
  • Better eyesight
  • Increase in bone density

    • In addition to the above HGH benefits, the growth hormone also helps to delay the aging process and helps your body to heal faster and more efficiently. However, to take advantage of all these benefits of HGH, it is vital that the growth hormone be present in adequate quantities in your body.

    If the levels of IGF1 in your blood are less than 150 ui, then you have what is termed as a growth hormone deficiency. In such a deficient state, you will not be able to see any of the benefits of HGH, which may cause your body to lose its youthfulness before its time. But thankfully, you can treat a HGH deficiency by going through GH replacement therapy.

    Although GH replacement therapy had some side effects when it was first introduced, there are no harmful side effects associated with GH replacement therapy today. All claims that GH replacement therapy causes diabetes or enhances the growth of cancerous tumors are false as they are not substantiated by medical research and studies.

    There are many types of products used to increase GH levels in your body, but not all of them are effective. In fact, the only GH replacement therapy that actually works is the one which uses GH injections, in much the same manner as insulin injections are used. All other GH products including GH pills, supplements, HGH secretagogue products, powders, tablets etc that are sold with claims of increasing GH levels are false products which do not benefit you in any way. Anyone claiming that their product can increase your HGH levels is only trying to scam you and nothing else. It may be possible to attain higher energy levels and feel more energetic by using herbs and herbal supplements, but in no way can these help to increase your HGH levels.

    GH injections, which are the only way to increase GH levels in your body, are very expensive and can cost as much as $600-$800 each month. However, it may be possible to enhance your well-being by natural methods such as using the right herbs, ingesting natural antioxidant foods etc.
