Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a single-chain peptide hormone produced from the pituitary gland, the master gland in the body. This is the hormone that helps you grow throughout childhood, hence the word “growth”. Around the age of 20 HGH is at its peak, and then plummets around the age of 25. This is when the aging process begins, as this hormone slowly declines for the rest of your life. But don’t worry, growing isn’t the only thing HGH is good for. Many experts say that elevating growth hormone when you are older can reduce your age 10 to 20 years. Most people experience these benefits in as little as two weeks.
An increase in HGH is associated with:
- Better mood*
- Hair growth*
- Enhanced libido*
- Greater muscle tone*
- Improved memory*
- Healthier skin and nails*
- Increased joint mobility*
- Increased fat loss (especially around the mid-section)*
- Increased strength*
- Increased bone density*
