Discussing the antiaging human growth hormone is often a tricky subject. I will try to shed light on this “new science” as much as possible by presenting the facts about human growth hormones in general and then relating it to the prospect of aging and how it can help the antiaging process.

Human Growth Hormone

In order to understand an antiaging human growth hormone, we first need to understand a growth hormone. A human growth hormone or HGH is not a steroid. Growth hormones are actually created by the body in the pituitary gland. A growth hormone stimulates growth in humans and other animals and is also known as a somatropin and somatotropin. The human growth hormone has anabolic effects on the body, which means that it “builds it up”. This is why steroids which cause muscle growth are called anabolic steroids.

Height growth is the best known effect of growth hormone, but it is also known to generate other metabolic functions including bone strengthening and calcium regeneration and retention. HGH also helps create a solid nitrogen balance in the body by increasing the body’s synthesis of protein. This helps increase muscle mass, as well and also stimulates the immune system.

The antiaging human growth hormone and its effect on you

Many websites out there advertise the benefits of antiaging human growth hormone replacement therapy and discuss replacing your estrogen and testosterone, proving bountiful testimonials that claim a “better quality of life”. The sites even tell you that you are “foolish” to ass up HGH therapy and that taking a HGH will improve the quality of your life at middle age and onward.

The premise suggested is that the human growth hormone level in people decreases with age and replacement is necessary and beneficial for people. There is, however, no reputable scientific experiment that has proved that this is the case. Rather, the body’s normal growth is the best process and the HGH levels are self-monitoring in most healthy cases and generally are sufficient to provide for a long life and graceful aging.

Do not be fooled by these websites. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists does not recommend the use of HGH in an anti-aging program at all and cites several case studies that show negative results. Many people advertising an anti-aging human growth hormone are simply out for your money and will promise the world in return. Do not be fooled but rather consult your medical professional and get the best advice from the best source.
