DHEA & HGH
August 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment
DHEA, like human growth hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland.
The manufacture of DHEA starts in the pituitary axis, which releases ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone). ACTH signals the adrenal glands to manufacture DHEA from cholesterol. It is released int othe bloodstream as DHEAS (DHEA sulfate). Dubbed the “mother of all steroids,” DHEA is the most abundant steroid in the human body and is involved in the manufacture of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and corticosterone. The decline of DHEA with age parallels that of human growth hormone (HGH), so that by age sixty-five, your body makes only 10 to 20 percent what it did at age twenty. Many anti-aging specialists believe that replacing DHEA in later life is beneficial.

HGH: Fountain Of Youth?
March 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Is there really a “fountain of youth”? Some believe there is… with HGH.
HGH is Human Growth Hormone. It’s produced naturally in your body, but amounts decrease as you get older. In fact, supplementing your body’s HGH levels can even help reverse the effects of aging.
Human Growth Hormone is known as the Master Hormone or the “Hormone of Youth”. It controls the release of many other hormones in the body and is made by the pituitary gland in the center of the brain. During childhood, HGH directs the growth of the body. In adults, HGH begins to decline steeply with age. This decline is associated with many of the effects of aging. Hundreds of studies have been done on the use of HGH in adults. It has been found to raise energy levels, enhance lean muscle, decrease body fat, strengthen the heart, improve cholesterol, fortify bones, smooth out wrinkles, sharpen memory, improve sexual function, regenerate damaged tissues, boost the immune system, and improve sleep.
HGH comes in many forms, the most potent being an injection given by authorized medical professionals. This is quite expensive however, and there are many alternative forms of HGH available on the market today.
