The Search for Eternal Life Continues
As the years go by and centuries pass the ancient fable about the fountain of youth has inspired men and even driven armies to war. After all the hard work and searching, has anyone really been able to stop or reverse the aging process. There are more than a few theories, remedies and products around the world that claim to reverse the elements of aging. A more modern product, human growth hormones (HGH) has had many varied results when it comes to anti aging effects. Researchers who found more positive results in the development of artificial steroids have provided evidence of a 20 year reduction in physiological changes to the studies’ participants. The study displays changes in the participants via increased muscle mass and fat reduction in men aged 60 years and above. It is at this age when production of growth hormones reaches close to minimal count, having slowed since the age of 20. Not all research on HGH has been successful and some researchers will claim the positive benefits from HGH supplements are not all they appear to be. Opposing researchers’ state that the increase in muscle was just retained water and not actually growth. Perhaps these were just disappointing results of their own experiment because they never denied the increase in metabolic rate and muscular strength.
HGH deficiencies can cause fatigue, an increase in excess weight and even sexual dysfunction. Deficiencies affect both males and females in equal numbers. Regular exercise can promote the release of the body’s own natural growth hormones however people with serious deficiencies may need clinical HGH replacement therapy. Some private clinics treat patients with HGH however most physicians will not treat patients who are not deficient. HGH products all allege they achieve the anti aging effect better than any of their competitors. They are distributed in three main ways, by sprays, tablets and by injections. Sprays are the cheapest form of application however they have never been proven to break through the surface of the skin and into the bloodstream. Tablets and pills are easily administered and cheap in comparison to a course of injections.
Consumers wanting to purchase HGH products must be made aware of their side effects. These take the form of joint swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome and even psychological disorders. Be aware that trying to reverse the effects of aging comes with potential, serious consequences. HGH may be a legal form of artificial anabolic steroid but should be used with caution and as prescribed. Before deciding to start a course of HGH it is essential to know that natural growth hormone release from the body is achieved through regular exercise and a nutritious diet.
