Growth Hormone - GHBoost

GHboost, a research driven nutritional supplement, is a unique growth hormone stimulating product that increases growth hormone (GH) secretion more effectively than any other GH boosting product on the market. GHboost also increases serum and tissue levels of the potent anabolic growth factor, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Growth hormone and IGF-1 act together to increase protein synthesis, decrease muscle breakdown and increase body fat loss.

The case for GH replacement therapy is getting stronger, as seen in a new study showing that GH levels, as determined by IGF-I levels, plays a role in longevity. This study suggests that GH secretion in adulthood, including old age, as measured by IGF-I levels, is a measure of both quality and quatity of life potential.

Anti-aging and life extensionists have stressed the need for hormone replacement therapy for several years. As a result, there are several hundred anti-aging clinics across the country offering growth hormone injections, and a score of supplements claiming to contain the hormone (which they don’t, including the homeopathic compounds).

However, because of significant side effects with GH therapy, including an increased tendency for developing diabetes, fluid retention and arthralgia and carpal tunnel syndrome, GH therapy is still not ready for mass consumption. In fact a recent review article in the official journal of the American Medical Association urges caution because of potential adverse effects in supplementing with exogenous GH in the elderly.

Nonetheless, the case for GH replacement therapy is getting stronger, as seen in a new study showing that GH levels, as determined by IGF-I levels, plays a role in longevity. This study looked at 205 healthy individuals between 19 and 93 years old. The study found that old males, but not females, with IGF-1 levels similar to young ones do not show the age-dependent decrease in serum testosterone and lean body mass, nor the increase in fat body mass. Other hormone-metabolic and nutritional parameters did not show that association. This study suggests that GH secretion in adulthood, including old age, as measured by IGF-I levels, is a measure of both quality and quatity of life potential.

I personally feel that augmenting GH levels naturally is the way to go as far as GH replacement since it has built in natural safeguards. This can effectively be done by combinations of various amino acids and other compounds and obviates, for most people, the need for synthetic growth hormone injections. The best supplement on the market today for increasing endogenous GH levels is my own GHboost. It’s been clinically proven to increase GH and IGF-I levels naturally.
