What is HGH?
-
HGH stands for "Human Growth Hormone". It is a natural substance that the human pituitary gland creates to assist in the natural growth process. Serious health problems can develop from an improper balance of HGH in the body. Doctors who study hormones are called endocrinologists. They have developed a biosynthetic growth hormone to help replace HGH levels in patients where it is necessary.
How does HGH work?
-
HGH helps to regulate the body's metabolism rate. How quickly food is processed into energy, and what parts of the body will use that energy has everything to do with the growth hormone levels in your body. In essence, it tells your bone, muscle, and cells to continue reproducing at a fast rate, until the age of 21 or so. After this age, your body will still create HGH, but at a slower, and slower pace until eventually ceasing. Once your growth hormone level stops, your body will begin to naturally deteriorate, and will be more susceptible to disease.

What is HGH used for?
-
Human growth hormone has been used by physicians for many years to help with patients in need of physical tissue growth who are having trouble producing the hormone naturally. If a hormone deficiency has been identified at an early enough age, it can greatly help patients who would otherwise have abnormally short stature. It has also been used by professional athletes who are looking for an edge in performance. Most of these athletes have normal or higher than normal pituitary functions already. The HGH works as a short cut to developing stronger bones, and muscles through exercise, and training.
