Recent research
suggests
that the legendary "Fountain of Youth" may be on the verge of being
discovered
in laboratories around the world. In spite of much hype claiming
otherwise, the aging process cannot
be totally stopped or reversed,
but scientists are showing certain aspects of it can be slowed to a
significant level, improving
one's overall health, and making one FEEL younger. The aging
process is now known to be caused by a combination of several factors,
the two most well-studied being:
1) Oxidative breakdown
at
the cellular level, which leads to DNA damage, and
2) Decreased
hormone
secretion,
including testosterone, progesterone, estrogen and growth hormone,
among
others.
Oxidative
breakdown
has
now been proven to be slowed by taking nutritional supplements
containing
antioxidants and other cofactors, such as minerals and phytonutrients (see
references). Likewise, hormone supplementation can slow, and
in some cases even reverse, signs of aging. Of all the hormones
that
decrease with age, the one most commonly associated with premature
aging
is deficiency of Human Growth Hormone, or HGH.
Researchers in
aging
are
becoming more and more convinced that supplementing vitamins, minerals,
and phytonutrients along with hormone replacement is the best way of
slowing
the aging process and keeping our vitality well into our 80's.
(After
all, longevity is not desireable unless it is accompanied by health and
vitality.) HGH research is especially exciting, because studies
have
shown it to be able to actually REVERSE some of the signs of
aging.
Since our body does not secrete this hormone efficiently as we age
(although
it continues to produce it in the pituitary gland), it cannot repair
itself
to prevent a breakdown in many of our systems.

What Doctors
Say About
HGH
INCREASES
ENERGY
&
ENDURANCE, IMPROVES SPORTS PERFORMANCE AND RECOVERY
Increased energy and endurance are
the
most
obvious benefits you will recognize within 30 to 90 days after the
start
of your HGH replacement therapy. It's much easier for us to recognize
that
we suddenly have more energy and endurance than it is to recognize that
our bones are becoming stronger or that our immune system has been
strengthened.
So it is the benefit of more energy and endurance that first manifests
itself.
Increased energy and endurance
are the
results of many of the individual health benefits that restoring, or
increasing,
our HGH levels can bring about. Restoring our HGH levels can
improve
our cardiac system and lung function, we have a greater oxygenated
blood
supply. The result is more endurance to work or play harder and
longer.
If you are active in sports, greater endurance is one of the keys to
greater
accomplishments. If you are in the workplace, more energy and
endurance
are vital to doing your job well. If you are raising a family,
more
energy and endurance help you with one of the toughest jobs of
all!
If you are retired, more energy and endurance will help you enjoy your
golden years to the fullest. The proven benefits of HGH
replacement
therapy in improved sleep, memory retention, weight loss, and
cardio-vascular
functions all contribute to giving us back the energy of our youth and
the ability to maintain that energy into middle and old age.
For those who work out or
participate
in sports, HGH Replacement Therapy has been shown to lead to improved
levels
of sports and exercise performance. HGH Replacement Therapy will
not, in of itself, increase your skill levels, but it will allow you to
work longer and harder to develop those skills in your chosen physical
activity. Currently injectable HGH use is outlawed in amateur
competition
due to it's anabolic-like activity. GH releasers are not banned,
however, as they are not considered drugs and are naturally found in
foods.
Increased
Resistance
To Sports
And Other Physically Related Injuries
Another extremely important benefit
for
anyone
that is physically active, is that as your levels of HGH increase, your
bones and ligaments and tendons will be strengthened. HGH regenerates
the
processes that builds healthy tendons, ligaments, and increases bone
density.
This can help you avoid common sports and exercise related injuries due
to a weakness in any of these joint and bone related
components.
More recent studies have shown that neurologic injuries are also less
likely
with amino acid supplementation.
The Importance
Of
Exercise
And Diet:
It should be noted that to achieve
the
maximum
benefits that come from higher levels of HGH, you should exercise
regularly
and have a sensible diet, although some benefits will be noticed even
without
them.
INCREASES
IMMUNE SYSTEM
FUNCTION
At puberty, our Immune system
functions
at
its peak, thus providing the greatest resistance to diseases associated
with aging and life style. Doctors now recognize HGH replacement
therapy as a powerful, safe, (no side effects) natural method of
strengthening
a healthy immune system, and repairing damaged, or weakened immune
systems.
All of the other health and wellness benefits of HGH therapy also
contribute
to maintaining healthy immune system by reducing the demands in the
immune
system to ward off common colds, flu, and other assorted ailments.
Studies by Keith Kelley, M.D.
and
others,
have shown that by replenishing our levels of HGH, our Immune System
activities
such as: the manufacture of new antibodies, increased production of
T-cells
and Interleukin2, proliferation and activity of disease fighting white
blood cells, stimulation of bacteria fighting macrophages, increased
maturation
of neutrophils, increased erythropoiesis, and the production of new red
blood cells, all increase and intensify. A strengthened immune
system
is, perhaps, the most important benefit that HGH Replacement Therapy
offers.
HGH
REDUCES
FAT
ACCUMULATION AND BUILDS LEAN MUSCLE MASS
 "HGH
does something no other weight loss regimen does - it actually
recontours
the body, melting away fat and building muscle. In many cases, people
look
like they've shed years away with the fat. Even better, the greatest
loss
occurs in the deep belly fat, the area that is not only the bane of
aging
men and women but is most often associated with increased risk of heart
attack. In every study of HGH pituitary deficient adults, as well as
aging
"normal" people, HGH replacement reduced body fat and increased lean
body
mass. This is unique, in that most diets result in loss of muscle
along with the fat!
In a placebo controlled study at
Thomas
Hospital in London, of 24 adults with HGH deficiency, the hormone
treated
group had no net change in weight but they lost an average of 12.5
pounds
of fat and gained an average of 12.1 pounds of lean body mass.
A study by Rudman on elderly men
between
age 60 and 81, found that after six months of treatment, the treated
group
gained an average of 8.8% in lean body mass and lost an average of
14.4%
in fat mass. The lean body mass included and increase in the bone
density of the lumbar spine by 1.6% and the liver and spleen grew by
19%
and 17% respectively."
HGH May Be One
Of The
Most
Effective Fat Loss Regimens Ever Discovered
"In a double blind, placebo
controlled
crossover
study of overweight women, HGH therapy caused an average loss of more
than
4.6 pounds of body fat, most of this in the abdomen.
In two double blind, placebo
controlled
studies by David Clemmons, M.D., at the University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill, HGH combined with dieting, accelerated weight loss. All of
the people participating in the study were between 35 to 60% over their
ideal body weight. In the studies, which were either for six or
eleven
weeks, HGH combined with diet caused a 25% acceleration in the rate of
fat loss above and beyond the effects of diet alone. In the 11
week
period, the HGH treated subjects lost 30 to 32 pounds, compared with 20
to 25 pounds in the controls. And while the controls lost muscle
along with fat, the treated (HGH) group held on to their body tone."
HGH Controls
Obesity
HGH may well prove to be the answer
not
only
in reducing body fat, but also for may of the problems that accompany
obesity.
It is well known in human physiology that muscle and fat tissue
metabolism
are directly influenced by the interplay between HGH, amino acids,
exercise,
insulin, stress hormones and fats. Little, if any, fat burning
can
take place in the presence of high insulin levels, such as those found
commonly after eating a meal high in fat or carbohydrates. HGH
may
be the answer not only in removing fat, but all the problems that come
with it. The message is clear, if you are obese, there are now,
for
the first time, proven methods for getting rid of the fat that poses
such
a danger to your health and life.
Important: "Most strikingly for
health
purposes, HGH treatment preferentially reduces abdominal fat that is
associated
with increased risk of heart attack. The loss of abdominal fat
also
has implications for type 2 diabetes, since there is a close
association
between intra-abdominal obesity and insulin resistance."

INCREASES
BONE
DENSITY
"A Swedish study of 44 men and
women
between
the ages of 23 and 66 who were severely deficient in HGH, found that
two
years of HGH treatment caused significant increases in the density of
the
bones that form the hip joint and the vertebrae of the lower
spine.
There were increases in calcium, osteocalcin, and two types of
collagen,
which are markers of bone formation. The researchers estimate
that
they have reduced the possibility of fracture so that it now equals
that
of normal healthy controls."
Another study showed Growth
Hormone
treatment
helps to build bone density and reduces the risk of fractures in pre-
and
post-menopausal women, as well as those with deficient growth hormone
levels. abstract

LOWERS
BLOOD
PRESSURE
HGH replacement therapy does
improve
cardiac
and lung function, two benefits that can help reduce blood
pressure.
In studies of HGH deficient adults HGH replacement therapy
reduced
diastolic blood pressure by about 10%.
Another way HGH replacement
therapy
helps
reduce blood pressure is by allowing us to exercise for longer periods
which will yield weight loss and overall fitness. The benefits of a
good
exercise program and weight loss, with respect to blood pressure
control,
are well documented.

IMPROVES
LIBIDO
AND SEXUAL PERFORMANCE
The decline in male and female
Libido
parallels
the decline of HGH released in the body. HGH levels and sexual potency
peak during puberty, and decrease throughout manhood until, by the age
of 80, 75% of men are incapable of having or sustaining erections.
A clinical study of 302 aging
adults
showed
that HGH replacement therapy improved sexual potency and frequency in
75%
of the men.
Interviews with people that use
HGH
for
anti-aging therapy indicate that almost everyone, men and women, had
improvement
in libido and sexual function.
Back To Top
IMPROVES
CARDIAC FUNCTION AND CHOLESTEROL PROFILES
Treatment with HGH also reversed
heart
failure
in several studies. In a 1996 New England Journal Of Medicine
Article,
seven patients treated with HGH (five men and two women) who had
moderate-to-severe
heart failure. increased the thickness of the left ventricular wall,
enhanced
the ability of the heart to contract and pump out blood, reduced the
oxygen
requirement of the heart, improved exercise capacity, and the patient's
quality of life.
HGH replacement therapy improves
cardiac
function and protects against cardiovascular disease in a number of
ways.
In studies of HGH deficient adults, HGH significantly improved blood
cholesterol
profiles, raising the "good" HDL and lowering the "bad" LDL.

REVERSES
AGING
CHANGES IN THE SKIN & PROMOTES THICKER HAIR
HGH Replacement Therapy is the only
anti-aging
treatment known that actually makes people look younger! As we
age,
our skin becomes thinner and loses its firm texture. In the world
renowned study by Dr. Daniel Rudman, elderly men had an increase of
skin
thickness of 7.1% on average. A further self-evaluation of 202
people
taking HGH for six months showed that two thirds reported improvement
in
skin texture, skin thickness, and skin elasticity. Of this same
group,
61% observed fewer wrinkles and 38% reported new hair growth.
Patients usually started
noticing
changes
within a few weeks of treatment. Fine lines vanished, deeper
wrinkles
receded, and facial fat decreased so that puffs of fat under the eyes
evaporated,
while the facial muscles that lift and hold the skin became
stronger.
Another result is the elimination, over a period of time of Cellulite.
HGH also increases the synthesis
of
new
proteins that lie underneath skin structure. In animal
experiments,
it increased the strength and collagen content of the skin. Collagen
and
elastin are the underlying foundation of the epidermis. HGH
restored
the turgor, or bounciness, that is characteristic of young skin, so the
skin bounced back more readily on a pinch test and became better
toned, and sagged less.

IMPROVES
MOOD AND
SLEEP
PATTERNS
In 1996 a team of Swedish
scientists
discovered
why HGH replacement makes so many people feel good. They found it
acts on the brain just like an antidepressant, raising the level of the
neurotransmitter B-endorphin, which has been called the brain's
opiate.
HGH also lowers the level of dopamine, which is associated with
feelings
of agitation. Other reports indicate that increased levels of HGH
reduce stress, improve focus and concentration, and build self-esteem
and
self-confidence. A 1998 report showed that depressed men have a
marked
decrease in HGH secretion during the first three hours of sleep as
opposed
to non depressed controls. Indeed, higher levels of HGH induced a
more restful and sounder sleep.
Three different studies in
Sweden,
Denmark,
and England reported that HGH replacement therapy had dramatic,
positive
effects on patients suffering from low self-esteem, anxiety and
depression.
In a report by L. Cass Terry,
M.D.,
Ph.D.
to the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine in December 1996, Dr.
Terry
reported that his clinical group of 900 people, 300 or which were
doctors,
80% experienced improved attitude toward life, and 67% experienced
enhanced
emotional stability.
A recent clinical study by
Theirry
Hertoghe,
M. D. showed that HGH therapy decreased depression by 82% and anxiety
and
low self-esteem by over 70%.

REDUCES
THE
RISK OF
DEVELOPING TYPE II ADULT ONSET DIABETES
(The following is quoted from
Doctor
Klatz's
book "Ten Weeks To A Younger You")
"Diabetes Type II (adult onset) is
now
reaching epidemic proportions in the United States. The National
Heart Lung and Blood Institute claims that there are 97 million people
in the United States alone that are Obese! Your chances of
contracting
Type II Diabetes is directly related to Obesity! The fatter you are,
the
greater your risk for developing this form of diabetes.
The major defect in this form of
diabetes
is insulin resistance, the inability of the cells to use the insulin
that
is there. Central belly fat appears to be the major culprit in
producing
insulin resistance. By eliminating this form of fat, HGH improves
insulin
sensitivity and allows the body to manage blood sugar more efficiently.
The message is clear: if you are obese, there are now, for the first
time,
proven methods for getting rid of the fat that poses such a danger to
your
health and your life."

MAY BE
HELPFUL
IN TREATING
CROHN'S DISEASE
According to a study by
Alfred E.
Slonim,
growth hormone may be a beneficial treatment for patients with
chronically
active Crohn's Disease. In his study 74% of those patients
improved
their scores and all those who were on prednisolone were able to
discontinue
it or reduce the dosage.
Many of the headlines and much of the copy for this page
have
been
taken from the book "Hormones Of Youth" by Ronald Klatz, M.D.
Most
of the studies on Growth Hormone were done using injectable HGH, which
has been approved by the FDA for many years. Growth Hormone
Releasers
do not put extra growth hormone into the body, but allows the pituitary
gland to release it's own GH more effectively. Unlike the
injectable
growth hormone, no significant adverse effects have been reported from
using the releasers. It is not recommended, however, for
lactating
and pregnant women or anyone with diagnosed cancer. HGH does not
cause cancer, but there is not a concensus of opinion regarding its
effect
on those persons, and it would seem prudent to avoid them until more
research
is published.
The above information is for educational
purposes
only
and has not been evaluated by the FDA.
We recommend taking the
releasers or
homeopathic
forms vs. the actual injectable growth hormone because of their better
safety
profile. The body will not release an unhealthy amount of growth
hormone.
We carry several different types
of
growth
hormone releasers now on the market, including powders, effervescent
tablets
(Pro-HGH) and homeopathic releasers and true HGH sprays. The
products
we recommend are 1) a powdered amino acid form called Maximum HGH Plus,
from New Sun, since it has been proven to be effective at increasing
blood
levels of IGF-1, an indicator of growth hormone levels and costs about
half as much as Pro-HGH, another excellent product; and 2) Mega
HGH Spray, a true human growth hormone homeopathic sublingual
preparation
containing over 360ng of true human growth hormone per spray, the most
powerful non-prescription dose available.

WHAT DOCTORS
SAY ABOUT
HGH
"The overall deterioration of
the body that comes with growing old
is
not
inevitable. We now realize that some aspects of it can be
prevented
or
reversed." Daniel Rudman, M.D., New England Journal of
Medicine.
"By
replenishing your supply of human growth hormone, you can
recover
your
vigor, health, looks and sexuality. For the first time in
human
history, we can
intervene in the aging process, restore many aspects of youth,
resist
disease,
substantially improve the quality of life, perhaps extend the
lifespan
itself. The
"Fountain of Youth" lies within the cells of each of us. All
you
need to do is
release it." Dr. Ronald Klatz, Founder and President
of the
American
Academy of Anti-Aging medicine and author of Grow Young
with
HGH.
"Growth
hormone stops the aging process in the body and reverses
many of
the problems that are caused by aging such as wrinkling skin,
increased
body
fat, decreased muscle mass, increased cholesterol, decreased
stamina
and
energy, and decreased mental function." Dr. Lawrence
Dornan,
Member,
American Academy of Anti-Aging.
