How to increase growth hormone in male

The growth hormone HGH (Human Growth Hormone), also called somatropin, is produced in the pituitary gland and serves as a messenger substance for the formation of new body cells. A deficiency is therefore significantly involved in premature aging and also leads to the loss of muscle mass and low sex drive.

As a metabolic regulator, HGH also determines how much fat the body stores. In the first two decades of life, most of the growth hormone is released and only while you sleep! Every cell in the body has receptors for growth hormone. In the peak phase of its release, the condition of skin, nails and hair is positively influenced. Of course also all other functions of the body. From about the age of 30, the HGH production decreases continuously. The typical signs of aging become increasingly visible and noticeable. This is how you stimulate the HGH release in a natural way.

Build up muscles

By building up muscles, the hormone is increasingly released. Because by stimulating the muscle fibers, they are induced to increase their volume and for this they need a higher proportion of HGH in the blood. This is consequently transmitted to the entire body as a messenger substance.

Intense training

It has long been known that short-term, intensive workouts can stimulate growth hormone secretion. The best solution would be HIIT workouts, which not only save time, but also provide a pronounced growth hormone secretion effect.

Use protein (amino acids)

Protein contains many amino acids, the action of which stimulates the secretion of growth hormone. Eat 2g/kg body weight protein daily!

Do not eat large amounts of carbohydrates in the evening

Carbohydrates in the evening cause your body to produce insulin in the pancreas. Insulin is considered the antagonist of HGH. The more insulin is secreted, the less growth hormone is in the blood. If the calorie intake is reduced in the evening, the HGH level increases.

Make sure you get enough sleep

7 to 8 hours of sleep are necessary for the processes of regeneration and cell renewal to be completed. The HGH production runs in the deep sleep phase at full speed and only if your stomach has nothing to do. Eat the last meal as early as possible, preferably two hours before bedtime. With plenty of protein, which will provide enough amino acids to increase growth hormone secretion during sleep.

 What about alcohol?

Alcohol reduces the growth hormone release by up to 70%. Even if it was only 1 glass of beer! With daily alcohol consumption, the growth hormone hardly has a chance. Give your body alcohol-free days!
