Hgh (Human Growth Hormone), is based on 191 amino acids, the basic building block of proteins that help the body to grow and to regenerate, or rather, to repair the human body. Without Protien, your body would quicly fall into sickness and ill repair. Most starving people in the world have been cured if sicknesses by ingesting even a small amount of protien in their diet. Human Growth Hormone, injected subcutaneously (under the skin) or intra-muscular (into the muscle tissue) creates a base where the protein is absorbed by the body directly into the tissues that need it the most - the body will tell the nutrients where to go. Different from other hormones like DHEA, Testosterone, or Estrogen and Progesterone, Human Growth Hormone is the only type of hormone that is directly linked to the healing of tissues in the body. This is the main reason why all true anti-aging medical clinics and doctors recommend HGH as the core hormone for anti-aging uses. The tissue which previously could not repair itself (such as we find in wrinkles in the skin which cannot rebuild collagen resources, muscular atrophy, the shrinking of muscle mass, and bone density reintegration) can now find a type of one or more of the 191 amino acids in HGH to recreate that needed nutrient. It literally rebuilds the body like a robot rebuilding all it's broken parts. Body-builders have been known to take as much as 8 IU's (international units) per day in a cycle, while they worked their muscles very hard to grow more musculature on their frame. This is one of the main reasons we see today the size of the body-builders in massive forms compared to the days of Arnold Schwartzenegger in the 1970's. The HGH products were not discovered and therefore not available to the bodybuilders in those days as we see today. To much HGH does have it's minor side effects. But much HGH is hard to reach, unless spending upwards of $100 per day is no problem for you. Most people need only spend from $50 to $100 PER MONTH only (approximately 1/2 IU per day. Follow the cycles manual and this may assist in your use of the amount of amino acids found in HGH. Some side effects found in small doses of HGH, in a well-rounded Anti-Aging program are: Fat Loss Muscle Increase Hair Growth Wrinkles Shrinking Increased Energy Better Sleeping Patterns Fast Injury Repair Bone Density Increase Increase in Mental Sharpness Release of Stress Increase in Happiness These are the main changes found over a sicx month program of HGH use in an Anti-Aging program. You may notice others. Many doctors in the field of plastic surgery have made it a standard today to give the patient a prescription of HGH after their surgery so that the tissue heals faster and with smaller intrandications (complications). Many of the top athletes in every field of athletics now use HGH as a standard need in order to keep injuries down while training at higher levels in the off-seasons of their sport. HGH levels do increase in the body, and can be tested by testing the IGF-1 Factor levels in the body. IGF-1 is the Insuline Growth Factor (or complex sugar uptake levels) in the blood. After reducing or stopping the use of HGH injections, the body's natural level of HGH and the testing levels of IGF-1 will decrease accordingly. And because athletes and their trainers understand this, they continue to use HGH in safe levels (approximately under 5 IU's per day for short periods of time of around 3 months, or less) while training to increase their body strength. Studies have so far not shown any other problems with low levels of HGH. Very high levels of HGH use have shown signs of acromegaly (bone thickening or bone growth), which may appear in the hands or feet, or facial bones continuing to grow. Large amounts for elongated periods of time would have to be maintained for this to occur. Most people wouldn't even be able to afford the costs incurred in such a pursuit, in the tens of thousands of dollars. Anti-aging doctors suggest up to 2 or more IU's per day of HGH for shorter periods, such as a cycle of six weeks on and two weeks off, for a year or more, and consider this to be more than safe. Even uses as small as 1/2 to 1 IU per day for one month on and two weeks off show increased value in the repair of the body tissue. This level is affordable for most people.
