The Growth Hormone (GH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland under the stimulation of the Hypothalamus. The Human Growth Hormone was discovered in the 1920's and was isolated in the form of somatotropin in 1956.

The benefits of HGH are immense, even today new research pops up regularly that reveals new uses for it.

The effects of the HGH on our system are tremendous:

• HGH promotes and increases the synthesis of new protein tissues, such as in muscle recovery or repair. This is the way new muscle is built.
• Recent research suggests its involvement in the metabolism of body-fat and its conversion to energy sources. Tests were conducted in obese people and medical use in treating obesity was proven beyond a doubt.
• It improves the sleeping pattern, makes for less unintended awakenings and betters REM-stage sleep.
• HGH produces more energy
• It may improve sexual performance
• It builds stronger bones
• Improves the quality and duration of heart and kidneys

So you can tell the benefits are not few. Increasing HGH is definitely a good thing, especially for bodybuilders and for all of us who want a healthy, muscular body with minimal body fat.

The HGH is present in the body at a rate of 500 micrograms at any time in the blood of males between the ages of 20 and 30, but the HGH tends to decrease naturally with age, so the older you get, the harder it is to lose fat and gain muscle. After the age of 30 it declines by 25 percent every decade, so by the time you hit 60 you are operating at 25 percent of original capacity. If HGH was present in the same amount throughout our lives we'd easily live to 140, be several inches taller and a lot more muscular.
