The benefits of HGH therapy

When it is produced, it remains active in the bloodstream for a few minutes, allowing just enough time for the liver to convert it into growth factors, the most crucial being insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which has growth-promoting properties on every cell in the body. 

With that said, a fall in growth hormone levels can lead to a raft of issues, listed by National HRT, a company that provides care in Human Growth Hormone Therapy, a treatment aimed at raising these levels back to normal status:

You may have heard of it from the sports industry as there is often a connection to doping.

But, this research area is not new. The general study of human growth hormone is more than 100 years old. On the other hand, the synthetic human growth hormone was first developed in the 1980s and approved by the FDA for specific uses in adults and children.

There are many benefits of human growth hormone for women and also men.

Here are the ones we are going to focus today:

Yes, the human growth hormone can help you lose weight.

A double-blinded, 12-week randomized study was conducted where 24 obese participants were on a hypocaloric diet and treated with recombinant human growth hormone or a placebo.

As a result, growth hormone treatment caused a 1.6-fold increase in weight loss. The greatest loss was visceral fat compared to the placebo.

Additionally, something interesting happened in the placebo group. The participants lost lean body mass compared to the growth hormone group where lean body mass was gained.

Bottom line, the study shows that in obese participants who eat a caloric-restriction diet, growth hormone accelerates the loss of body fat and improves growth hormone secretion. In other words, HGH has a therapeutic role in helping obese people lose weight.

One of the best benefits of the growth hormone is for stress reduction. The secretion of the growth hormone enhances the functioning of the brain in a much more efficient way. This increased mental power allows us to do work in a very efficient manner than previously we are capable of. As you become more efficient in your work, it automatically reduces your stress and let you handle all the difficult tasks in a very light way.

The people who are having an HGH deficiency are facing an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

There was a study conducted in Sweden, where 104 patients with an HGH deficiency were studied. These adults had higher body mass and triglyceride concentrations vs. controls.

The results suggested that lipoprotein metabolism is altered by a growth hormone deficiency, increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease.

This is good news for adults with HGH deficiency. The human growth hormone treatment has shown positive results when it is treated naturally.

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism shows that thirty men ages 48–66 with abdominal/visceral obesity were treated with recombinant human growth hormone in a period of nine months.

The results: Abdominal and visceral adipose tissue decreased along with diastolic blood pressure, and improved insulin sensitivity. These are one of the favorable benefits of human growth hormone found.

With the growing age, you feel difficulty in remembering things and the intake of this particular hormone retain the sharpness of your mind. Thus this hormone allows you to think and let you remember all the things for a longer period of time. As it increases your thinking power, the stress is automatically reduced, and then you are quite excited about doing your works.
