Human Growth Hormone Supplement
 Aging is one of the most extensively studied, but still poorly understood, physiologic processes of the body. We already know, though, that it is a very complex process that is the result of the interplay of numerous factors that include diet and nutrition, environment, heredity, lifestyle and hormones substances produced by the endocrine glands of the body that help regulate numerous body processes.

Human Growth Hormones
One of the hormones that evidently affect the aging process is the human growth hormone
(HGH) or somatotropin. HGH one of the several hormones is produced by the pituitary gland, a small, bean-shaped structure at the base of the brain. The body needs this hormone to carry out many metabolic processes, and to ensure normal growth and development. In children and teenagers, it is necessary for normal growth in height. Its deficiency results in dwarfism or short stature and its excess results in gigantism. In adults, HGH has no effect on height anymore, but normal amounts (though normal amounts in adults are much less than in children) are still needed for proper conduct of protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism.

Values
HGH is a very potent substance. The amount of the hormone needed by the body is minimal. In normal adults, only 500 to 875 micrograms (a microgram is equal to one thousandth of a milligram) of the substance is released by the pituitary gland per day.
The bodys production of HGH is low during infancy. It increases during early childhood and is highest during puberty. After puberty, HGH production decreases a little but remains at a steady level until after third decade of life when a progressive decline in the production of the hormone (the decrease can be as much as 60 percent) occurs. It is now fairly established that this decline in HGH production as one gets older is partly, but only partly, responsible for many of the physical characteristics that accompany aging decline in muscle mass, increase of fatty tissue, thinning of the skin, etc.
