The search for a substance or object that will make us immortal or at least rejuvenate us and prolong our lives, as well as its quality is as old as humanity. Probably the most famous is the philosopher’s stone, a substance that alchemists have been trying to come up with for centuries in order to turn ordinary metal into gold and to use it as an elixir of life. The form in which the philosopher’s stone appeared has changed through historical periods, but also through different religions, all the way to modern times and role in the “Harry Potter” series.
Of course, something like the philosopher’s stone does not exist and will never exist. But there is something that rightfully draws comparisons with the philosopher’s stone, and that is human growth hormone (HGH). It is a peptide hormone that stimulates numerous processes in our body and therefore has a very wide application. From being used for children who are very short, to being used by athletes for faster recovery. There are allegations that Rafael Nadal and other high-profile athletes used HGH to overcome career-threatening injuries, although these claims have not been confirmed and that could cause a doping scandal since it is banned more than 30 years ago. Either way, although it will not bring you eternal life, HGH treatment will benefit so many people that it is important to learn more about it.
What is human growth hormone (hGH or HGH)?
Human growth hormone is a peptide hormone and one of the hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which affects the growth and regeneration of cells in humans, but also in animals. HGH also stimulates the secretion of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also called somatomedin C, a hormone very similar to insulin when we take a look at structure of IGF-1, but plays a role in children’s growth and development and serves as anabolic in adults, which are different roles compared to insulin. Somatropin and serostim are some of the most common forms of HGH given as a prescription drug, and some forms you can even buy online, but you should be careful to buy it on reputable websites rather than the black market.
Things to know about the HGH treatment
Now we come to the most important part of our article. There is a lot of inaccurate or semi-inaccurate information available on the internet, which can make you think that you need HGH treatment even though you do not. On the other hand, there is also plenty of information that will make you afraid of using HGH and thus give up, although there is no valid reason to decide against using human growth hormone therapy. So let us debunk all the myths and tell you valid information regarding HGH treatment.
1. HGH treatment in children
HGH treatment is most commonly used in children. They are used in children who show signs of deficiency of this hormone, which can be reflected in short height, as well as general underdevelopment, which is manifested by delayed puberty and similar things. The cause can be not only a deficiency of this hormone, but also many other syndromes such as Turner syndrome. Many children who have problems with HGH were not smaller than the average at birth, but these problems appear later, when the child needs to grow up.
Once HGH treatment is started, parents should expect the first signs after a few weeks, and this primarily refers to foot growth, while the difference in height will be noticeable after three months to half a year. The amount of fat will decrease, and the amount of lean body mass will increase, which will cause increased appetite in the child. It will probably take years for a child to reach the desired height, but you should know that the success rate of this therapy in children is very high so be patient and persistent.
2. Benefits
Now we come to the benefits of HGH treatment for adults and the reasons why more and more adults are choosing to undergo this treatment, which really acts as a fountain of youth. Taking HGH will help you heal faster and your immune system to work better, which are two functions that decline with age. In addition, bone density will be increased, and we all know that osteoporosis is a big problem for many people as they age. In addition to improving bone density, muscles will also be strengthened, as well as ligaments, which will reduce the number of injuries. HGH treatment also affects other organs, so it is effective on heart health, increases testosterone secretion, and also cures insomnia, helps with weight loss and so on. There is practically no other substance that has such a wide range of applications.
3. Side effects
Every type of medicine and treatment has side effects and you should be aware of that. When deciding on a type of therapy, you need to determine if the benefits outweigh the side effects. In the case of HGH therapy this is certainly the case. The most common side effects include muscle aches, joint pain, headaches and similar very harmless side effects. Somewhat more serious side effects such as edema, gynecomastia and insulin resistance sometimes occur. As we read at hghtherapydoctor.us, HGH treatment can even trigger diabetes, allergic reactions, and even tumors, but in a very small number of cases.
4. Natural ways to increase HGH level
Natural ways of boosting HGH levels are nowhere near as effective as HGH treatment, as is the case with testosterone and other similar things. But there are certainly natural ways that will make your HGH treatment even more effective. First of all, you need to lose belly fat, and that is advice when you want to increase testosterone levels as well. In addition, you need to eat healthy, eat a lot of healthy fats and proteins, and you can try intermittent fasting to affect insulin sensitivity. Take a variety of supplements and exercise regularly. These are not just tips for HGH boost, but for healthy living in general.
Conclusion:
HGH is something that we believe will be used by more and more people, as new benefits are learned. Also, many children will be able to live a normal life thanks to HGH treatment.
