Human Growth Hormone For Height Increase - What You Should Know

[Zumyama George]

HGH - also know as Human Growth Hormone - is a protein based poly-peptide hormone that stimulates growth and cell reproduction/generation in the human body. HGH is produced by a small structure at the base of the brain known as the pituitary gland. Levels of HGH are highest during early childhood and peak during puberty. This is why human growth hormone is being used clinically to treat childhood growth disorders and problems by trained professionals.

Human Growth Hormone levels slowly decline throughout adult life sometimes causing the following

    Loss of muscle mass
    Depression
    Diabetes
    Age associated illnesses

It has been rumored that supplementing human growth hormone can help healthy adults grow taller and also slow the ageing process, however most of this information has no evidence which strongly enough suggests that these rumors are true. There are quite a few "so called" treatments on the market which claim to boost natural levels of HGH or supplement these levels with synthesized best hgh reviews such as oral spray and HGH releasers. Again there is no evidence to suggest these treatments work to increase height or to combat any damage caused by the aging process. The only way to administer HGH correctly is by injection, which are incredibly expensive and even with injections, no height differences have ever been shown to occur in adults, only adolescent children.

This is not to say that supplementing HGH via injections under the strict guidance of a medical professional won't be beneficial. Research shown that injections of HGH can have the following effects in adults.

    Increased bone density
    Increase muscle mass
    Decreased body fat
    Increased exercise capacity

However it has been demonstrated a increase in muscle mass is not directly correlated to increasing strength. Strength training is actually viewed in comparison to HGH as a cheaper alternative.

Because of these apparent benefits, human growth hormone has been abused for some time within the sports world as an anabolic agent.

Clinical studies have shown that if used during childhood there is a mild increase in the risk of colon and prostate cancer.
