Anti Aging and Human Growth Hormone Any Connection?

Although there is limited data on the use of growth hormone in athletes, there have been a significant amount of tests done on the elderly. The first scientific study on growth hormone in the elderly came out in 1990. Published by Dr. Rudman in the New England Journal of Medicine, the report showed the first findings of beneficial use of HGH in the elderly. The results of the effects of growth hormone on 12 elderly men, healthy in every way except a low level of IGF-1, were recorded. After receiving growth hormone for 6 months, the men had a 9% increase in muscle mass, a 14% decrease in fat, and a thickening of the skin. The most influential part of this report on growth hormone was Rudman’s statement on the results of the test in which he wrote, “The effects of six months of human growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20 years of aging.”
Rudman was effectively claiming that human growth hormone reversed the aging process. This report and Rudman’s statement effectively set off the growth hormone explosion.
All types of people began to pursue the use of this hormone in order to increase performance or decrease the effects of aging.
There have not been thousands of HGH studies as some have claimed. In fact, when it comes to the use of HGH in relation to Anti-Aging, there have only been a few studies! The product is so new. When doing research on Human Growth Hormone you first have to figure out if the study you are reading relates to
pills,
HGH shots, or
HGH sprays.
Most of the clinical studies have to do with HGH injected. The “clinical studies” relating to pills and sprays have almost all been done by the manufacturers themselves. “Caveat Emptor,” Buyer Beware. Since HGH sprays have not been on the market for that long there simply hasn’t been time for any true, scientifically instituted, clinical studies. The FDA has approved the substance for retail sale. The only information that’s currently available on spray therapy is considered “anecdotal.”
However, it’s not surprising that most of these reports “mirror” the results of injected human growth hormone studies. Ultimately, the consumer has to try the product on his own to decide if the results are worth the price of the therapy.
Even with all of the evidence on the benefits of human growth hormone, the hormone is currently an extremely controversial topic.
Many leading scientists denounce it as at best worthless, and at worst the cause of extreme side effects. One outspoken critic is Dr. Stephen Barrett, M.D. of Quackwatch.org. His website seeks to “combat health-related frauds, myths, fads, and fallacies.” Dr. Barrett admits that growth hormone levels decrease with age, however, he goes on to say that, “Considering the high cost, significant side effects, and lack of proven effectiveness, HGH shots appear to be a very poor investment.”

It is worth mentioning that the people who have felt significant benefits from supplementing with growth hormones would strongly disagree with Dr. Barrett’s statement. The results from using growth hormone are in the eyes of the user, and it is the user alone who can determine whether growth hormone is worth the investment.
However, according to Dr. Klatz, “Aging appears to be due in large part to the drastic decline of growth hormone in the body after adulthood.” His research has concluded that one of the primary causes of aging is the decrease of hormonal production. At age 21, the normal level of circulating HGH is about 10 milligrams per deciliter of blood, while at age 61 it is 2 milligrams (an 80% decrease!). It is human growth hormone that grows the cells, bones, muscles, and organs, and it is the decreased level of this substance after age 30 that slowly robs us of our youth. After the age of 30, the secretion rate of HGH drops by 14% per decade. By age 80, most people barely produce enough HGH to rebuild much of anything, which explains why injuries experienced by seniors take so long to heal.
The bottom line here is that all the “claims” retailers tell you about HGH are mostly testimonials given by users. The only “clinical studies” of Hgh sprays are those that have been done by manufacturers and there are no clinical studies surrounding secretagogues and stacked amino nutritional products that we’ve seen. And, by the way, it should not be overlooked that the testimonials are all positive. Just recognize them for what they are. The product is so new, testimonials are all we have!

The bottom line is: will HGH therapy work for you? We don’t know. We’re all different. You’ll have to try it and find out (another great sales pitch, eh?). In the homeopathic oral spray form it’s very, very gentle. So gentle, in fact, that the general recommendation from manufacturers and distributors is that you use the product for two to three months to see if it affects you positively. We believe most people will see results much quicker but we think they recommend that time period because if you are in terrible shape to begin with, it’s going to take longer for the therapy to straighten things out. HGH is not a powerful drug. However, if you are in excellent health you will probably recognize subtle changes within a couple of days. So depending on where you are in that health range you’ll have to give the product time to act. Try it, you’ll like it! 21st Century HGH gives a full, money back guarantee
