What you should know about growth hormone

Growth hormone is a polypeptide hormone which consists of 191 amino acids, which is responsible for tissue growth (including muscle), energy metabolism (increases glucose levels, accelerates fat burning), maintenance of lean body mass and prevents excessive fat accumulation, helps recovery from injuries of various tissues (fractures, cartilage and joint injuries, burns, cuts, etc.), it also helps to maintain the proper skin and nails quality, thereby it also is called a “youth hormone”.

For this reason it is very popular among athletes as well as ordinary people who want to improve their life quality (restore joints and maintain youthful skin).

Where is growth hormone produced?

Somatropin, commonly known as human growth hormone (HGH), is produced in the pituitary gland and controlled by the hypothalamus: somatostatin suppresses growth hormone secretion and somatoliberin releases it. Growth hormone is secreted most intensively during sleep. Frequency and amount of growth hormone released depends on gender and age as well as external factors: stress, ambient temperature, physical activity and blood glucose level.

Growth hormone affects the secretion of somatomedins – insulin-like growth factors type 1 and 2 – in the liver and peripheral tissues. Growth hormone is responsible for macronutrients enhancing tissue uptake, such as amino acids, that leads to tissue protein synthesis, increase of muscle mass and strengthening of the skeletal system. Growth hormone affects carbohydrate metabolism because it stimulates glycogenolysis and stimulates glucose release from the liver.

Growth hormone acts on fat by stimulating lipolysis. This is how the body gets energy from fatty acid metabolism. Growth hormone increases the density of body cells and to a large extent affects hypertrophy of muscle tissue, i.e. increase of its mass, while it is not a steroid. Its activity leads to gaining lean muscle mass and burning fat at the same time.

Where is growth hormone used?

Growth hormone is often used in bodybuilding. Using GH always accompanied by muscle growth, proportional development of connective tissue, strengthening bones and joints (as well as accelerating their recovery after injuries). It is used to build lean muscle mass.

People who do not participate in sports use GH for recovery after surgeries, fractures, support of the musculoskeletal system in chronic diseases, and as part of rejuvenation therapy.

How can I increase HG secretion?

Certain nutrients and vitamins can help to increase growth hormone secretion. This effect can be detected with a high level of amino acids in the blood (arginine, lysine, ornithine, glutamine, glycine), chromium, lecithin, the amino acid tryptophan with vitamins B6 and C. The GH level increases under the influence of sufficiently intensive workout (the more intensive the workout, the higher the GH secretion).

Human secretion of growth hormone decreases after 30 years. However, you can use r-DNA HGH and you can find growth hormone for sale in our web-store. After injecting the GH, its maximum concentration in your blood peaks in 3 to 3.5 hours, after which it gradually decreases.
