Building Muscle For Male and Female - HGH Bodybuilding Supplements Review

With thousands of supplements to rave about, an entire cloaked market of potent steroids, and the debate about their legalization, why on earth would anyone want to discuss Human Growth Hormone (HGH)? Hasn't it been proven totally useless as a muscle builder?
Well, if that were true then why is there a market for it? It should be obvious that HGH is one of the most active hormones in the world today. The miracles of testosterone have amazed the world of bodybuilding with its regular turnout of 300-pound behemoths, but GH is another story altogether.
When you take into account that hormones may hold the secret to stopping aging in its tracks, and that GH is the hormone produced on the largest scale in the human body, it may be our own fountain of youth. I'm not saying that large amounts of HGH would help you live to be 200—here is also the matter of tissue resistance.
GH starts to decline in the body as we grow older. After the age of 30 it declines by 25 percent every decade, so by the time you hit 60 you are operating at 25 percent of original capacity. If HGH was present in the same amount throughout our lives, we'd easily live to be 140, several inches taller, and a lot more muscular.


 The Benefits of HGH
Growth hormone was discovered in the 1920s and was isolated in the form of somatotropin in 1956. The benefits of HGH are immense; even today new research pops up regularly that reveals new uses for it. HGH is present in the body at a rate of 500 micrograms at any time in the blood of males between the ages of 20 and 30.
It's produced by the anterior pituitary gland under the stimulation of the hypothalamus (like LH, the testosterone precursor). The effects on our system are tremendous:
  • HGH promotes and increases the synthesis of new protein tissues, such as in muscle recovery or repair. This is the way new muscle is built.
  • Recent research suggests its involvement in the metabolism of body fat and its conversion to energy sources. Tests were conducted in obese people, and medical use in treating obesity was proven beyond a doubt. Some pros have used GH as a way of maintaining and increasing lean mass while dieting for years.
  • It improves the sleeping pattern, makes for fewer unintended awakenings and betters REM-stage sleep.
  • HGH produces more energy
  • It may improve sexual performance
  • It builds stronger bones
  • Improves the quality and duration of heart and kidneys
As you can see, HGH has several benefits. Research shows HGH may be superior to testosterone and its derivatives because it is not androgenic, causes no aromatization, and shows few side effects in limited doses. It can dramatically increase size in combination with testosterone.
It is believed that we may benefit from doses of 1.0-1.5 mg in the bloodstream. That is somewhere in the optimal range for natural GH.

Supplementation

Too much natural GH causes a condition called acromegaly. A person's muscles grow, but so do his bones, his face, his intestines.No I'm not telling you to inject GH. Until it becomes legal and then still under a doctor's supervision, I don't suggest you use it. GH supplementation has many benefits though. It increases the protein-synthesizing effect of testosterone and causes growth in muscle tissue. Unlike most steroidogenic substances, it is currently undetectable in drug tests.
Studies show that, in small doses, it exerts minimal side effects. In large doses it may be very harmful however.
Too much natural GH causes a condition called acromegaly. A person's muscles grow, but so do his bones, his face, and his intestines. Not funny, huh? Plus the muscle you gain on GH is not functional. GH causes no gains in strength. Larger muscles naturally increases strength a little, but without training of the tendons and attachments, no strength increase is noticeable.
The enlarged intestines are what cause the bloated guts on stage in bodybuilding contests. Only two substances cause this bloating: IGF-1 (insulin-like Growth factor 1) and HGH. Many pros swear by the stuff.
For a long time, the only source of GH was from cadavers. This held a great risk of infection with BSE (Kreutzfeld-Jakob disease), a debilitating disease that leads to death within weeks BSE became a hot topic because of cases in the European bovine stock as a result of processing animal waste in animal food. Now HGH is available as somatotropin, synthethized outside the body.
So why did I bring up supplementation if it's illegal? Well, how do you suppose you make an illegal drug a legal supplement? In the United States, certain substances can be sold over-the-counter if they are below a certain concentration, so GH is currently being sold as a supplement, suspended in alcohol. It is supposed to be absorbed sublingually (under the tongue) or through the nasal glands (in the nose).
It's small enough to do this and yields high rates. It can't survive the digestive process and find a way into the blood through ingestion. The only other way is to inject it, which makes it illegal again. The law is the same one that allows ephedrine in fat-loss supps and pseudoephedrine in cold medicine.
