A hormone is a substance found in the living beings that regulates bodily processes such as growth, muscle building, regulating metabolism, reproduction etc. Hormones are secreted into the body fluids like the blood or into the tissues which signals various above mentioned functions to the cells.
HGH or Human Growth Hormone is a hormone which is produced by the pituitary gland. HGH is very critical for muscle growth, tissue repair, physical and mental health, strength of the bones and energy. This all makes it a very important. It is a very complex hormone. Made up of 191 amino acids. It is the largest protein made by the Pituitary Gland.
Growth hormone is usually produced in short bursts during the period the body is in deep sleep.
- Converting body fat into muscle bulk.
- Growth of muscle.
- Energy level of the body.
- All tissue repair.
- Healing of the whole body.
- Cell replacement.
- Strengthening the bones.
- Sexual functioning.
- Health and Integrity of all Organs.
Well, the answer is YES and NO. Our bodies are required to always produce HGH or it wouldn't be able to function. But as you go past the age of 20 years, your body starts to reduce the production of HGH with each passing year. And by the time you reach the age of 55-60 years, by an estimate you will probably have already lost 75% of the human growth hormone that your body produced up to then.
While numerous studies have been done on the effects of HGH injections, the most ground breaking study reported that men who had taken HGH injections had shown a increase in muscle building! It bears repeating that there was no change in diet or exercise - and the subjects who received HGH injections had a 8.8 percent increase in lean body mass.

She was the poster girl of growth hormone. At age fifty-one, the blond former model was shown on the cover of Health magazine rising from the water in
She had developed a huge gray hole in the vision of her right eye. All that was left was a tiny bit of peripheral vision in that eye, she says. The diagnosis was a form of nerve inflammation and the only treatment was cortisone. When that failed to help, McNair was desperate. Aware that people were trying growth hormone to treat nerve problems and spinal cord injuries, she asked her doctor. “If you can find some, it probably won’t hurt you,” he said. When she read a small piece on Howard Turney and

It was a happy and exciting time for McNair, but little did she know it was all swiftly coming to an end. Howard Turney – caught in an investors’ dispute over
“At one point, I was waitressing, eating one meal a day. I was picking food off the plates for my cat—and something for myself. This was someone who was a professional woman,” she says about herself. “1 have never considered myself a bag lady, but I was one step away from it. I had a truck, but I had to walk everywhere because I had no money for gas. So I went through a bad depression and finally an emotional breakdown.”
Today it seems almost impossible to square that picture of a down-and-out near bag lady with the serene, beautiful woman who still looks more than a decade younger than her fifty-three years. The
She has noticed a number of changes since she returned to the hormone. For one thing, she has noted, to her delight, that her metabolism is now back to where it was in her twenties. “When I hit my forties, I had to change my eating habits to maintain my old figure. But now on GH, I can eat the way I did in my twenties. My thighs are also coming back to the thirty-five-year-old level. Everything seems to be tighter. My hands look a lot younger. My nails are growing.” Her digestion has also improved, she says, and she believes that the absorption from her food and nutrient supplements has improved. For one thing, she says, she no longer has to take folic acid supplements for leg cramps at night. Another improvement has been her sex life. “My libido has increased,” she says. “Maybe it’s just knowing that your body’s tighter, and feeling more attractive helps to increase desire. When I was in that depressed state, I couldn’t stand facing another day. Now, I’m back to where I was when I was younger. Life is wonderful.”
The first time Ahlschier received a shot of growth hormone, he had a very uncommon reaction. “My hair stood straight up,” he said. “What in the world did you give me?” he asked his doctor. It was 1993 and he had gone to
Today Ahlschier, a board-certified family physician, radiologist, and consultant in anti-aging medicine, is virtually a new person. He has gone from 219 pounds to 267, from a forty-three long jacket to a fifty-three. And it is all solid muscle, he says, no fat. It is not just growth hormone, he says. He went off it for eight months, using growth hormone stimulators. (More about this in Chapter 16.) And he has gone in for bodybuilding in a big way, using 1,000-pound leg presses, for example. But it is the growth hormone, along with testosterone replacement, that allows him to push his workout to the limit. These days he feels like Schwarzenegger. “1 shaved my body hair recently so I could see what I looked like and my wife nearly fainted.”
it is not just that he looks better, he says; he feels better. “It’s an antidepressant. I feel good all the time.” And he is doing better. His cholesterol has fallen from 220 to 170, even though he eats eggs for breakfast every day. His blood pressure is normal. “It goes very high when I exercise, which is a stress reaction and appropriate, and then it comes right back down.” And his energy level and sex life have readied new heights. His immune system has improved. “I never get sick,” he asserts.
Another area in which Ahlschier has noticed a tremendous difference is his vision. “As a radiologist, I look at thousands and
thousands of images a day, mammograms, microcalcifications. My whole world is visual.” But despite all the strain on his eyes, he has not needed a change in his prescription for either near or far vision. His near vision has improved and his far vision is simply astounding, he says. “I’ll be driving along – and this happens every day – and everything will be in perfect focus up to infinity. In perfect, panoramic focus on my cerebral cortex.”
Ahlschier, who uses HGH in his practice, says the dosages he uses are a “trade secret,” but they don’t exceed 2 IU a day, where you start to get noticeable side effects. The cost of the hormone can be cut in half, he says, by buying it directly from pharmacies in
“It’s the most amazing drug I’ve ever encountered,” he concludes. “My vision is incredible, my growth is incredible. I feel so much younger than I ever did before. You can look at all these drugs. DHEA is a good drug. Deprenyl is useful. But dollar for dollar, growth hormone is the best anti-aging money I have ever spent.”
