The Many Effects of Human Growth Hormone

Share This Post

Human growth hormone is manufactured naturally in the body through the pituitary gland, which is actually no larger than a pea or bean. This substance provides a series of vital services as our bodies grow, mature and age. From childhood throughout our entire lifespan, HGH helps us to achieve normal growth and development, but as the body ages it can provide additional benefits which most adults will be able to appreciate, especially since the older we get, the less growth hormone is naturally produced.

The Function of HGH

HGH is responsible for the normal development of the physical body during childhood. This hormone is what aids in achieving physical size and in the development of the internal organs as well as stature. HGH is necessary for maintaining healthy tissues in the body and a lack may result in decreased muscle mass and bone density.

Adults may require human growth hormone boosters.

As adults reach middle age, production of HGH begins to taper. Some adults may require additional boosts of HGH when there is an extreme deficiency of the substance in the body. Although rare, there are cases of people who experience a true deficiency which is not related to the natural tapering process.

Effects of HGH Deficiencies in Adults

A lack of the required amounts of HGH in adults can bring about a variety of health related issues. Decreases in bone density leads to more fragile bones and the lack of muscle mass can result in a decline in strength, vitality, stamina and endurance. Changes in normal sleep patterns are also noted in some adults with HGH deficiencies.

Benefits of HGH Therapy

For those experiencing a true deficiency, the use of synthetic human growth hormone treatmentscan mimic some of the effects, but it can also help to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more of the substance naturally. Benefits of receiving HGH therapy include increased muscle and bone mass, improvement in sleeping patterns, higher energy and stamina levels and a decrease in body fat.

Other Uses for Human Growth Hormone

HGH has been approved for use in treating adults with HIV, AIDS and short bowel syndrome. The natural process of building lean muscle is especially important when these conditions are present. HGH helps to improve health conditions which can cause muscle atrophy by stimulating and increasing muscle mass. Although this hormone does not automatically increase strength, it allows for the potential by providing increased lean muscle mass. Strength and higher stamina levels are easier to achieve if the user combines HGH with an exercise program designed to strengthen the new muscle tissue which develops.

If you’re interested in learning more about how human growth hormone affects our bodies, or what HGH therapy could do for you, then it would be advisable to contact the professional physicians found at the MetroMD Institute of Regenerative Medicine.
