Human growth hormone (hGH) has been widely acclaimed over the past few decades as the body's most powerful hormone because of its significant anabolic and anti-catabolic effects on the body. As doctors and scientists work hand in hand to find ways to extend the average life span, equal attention must be devoted to improving the quality of life and developing stronger healthier bodies through non-toxic, safe and affordable medicine.
hGH, also known as the master hormone of the body, is responsible for many effects on growth, development, immunity and metabolism. Produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain, hGH is usually released during sleep in pulses in response to positive and negative signals from the hypothalamus. hGH exerts anabolic effects throughout the body through its co-messenger IGF1, favoring growth of tissues, bones, cartilage, muscles, skin, liver and kidney.


The bio-engineering of recombinant human growth hormone in the mid-1980s made hGH more widely available as an injectable prescription drug than in previous decades. As a result, hGH received wide public attention for its well documented benefits on physical performance, body shape, composition and immune enhancement. Specifically hGH stimulates increased lean body mass which is a significant life extender since depletion of lean body mass results in muscle weakness, organ failure and death. More than muscle size, lean body mass encompasses bone density, organ density and vitality, restoration of shrinking cells back to their normal size and restoration of intracellular and extracellular water.
The amount of human growth hormone in a healthy adult declines about 14% per decade after age 30 and is frequently non-existent by age 80. The decrease in hGH levels seen with aging may result in detrimental health consequences such as reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength, decreased bone density, increased fat, reduced energy and exercise capacity and reduced immunity.
