Anti-ageing is now one of the largest markets in existence,
right along with weight loss and anti-smoking. This page is
a guide to help you learn and decide for yourself what the
truth is.
Many
fantastic, false and illogical claims have sprung up around
many anti-ageing products; most seemingly made for the sole
purpose of helping your wallet or purse lose weight! I
wrote this section to hopefully bring some sanity and
honesty into the equation.
It's your
body, explore the facts for yourself!
"How do
I acquire the knowledge to make a realistic and educated
decision regarding any sort of health product, including
hGH?"
To
answer this, you need to establish:
Below
is a very short version of the answers available on a
sister-site, "genf20.com.au". The links in each section
will open a new page within that site where you can read
detailed discussions on each subject.
Do I need to
raise my hGH levels?
If
you are over thirty and answer "yes" to two or
more of these questions, it is very likely your Growth
Hormone (hGH) levels are deficient and letting you age.
- Your body &/or mind are not as fresh or fast as you
remember them being?
- Your mind feeling a bit (or lot) more willing than your
body?
- Maybe your mind is not as willing as you want either?
- You're finding fat sticking more than it used to - and
harder to shift?
- You're losing muscle mass despite hard work?
- Finding your moods more changeable and more you're more
irritable?
- You just can't find the energy for the fun things
anymore?
- Is
your sleep less reliable and less restful?
- Tried a number of fad / radical diets but put all the
weight back on?
- Finding depression, lethargy &/or fatigue is hampering
your quality of life?
What methods
can I use to safely raise hGH levels?
There
are four main ways hGH levels are supplemented or elevated
in the human body.
- Stimulate the body to raise its own levels naturally -
supporting natural function and maintaining hormonal
balance.
- Inject hGH - suffer the likely hormonal imbalance and
exorbitant costs, requires a doctor's prescription and
constant monitoring.
- Homoeopathic hGH - risk the same imbalances as injected
hGH but at far less cost - if it does anything at all
for your body.
- Ingest oral hGH supplements - totally unrealistic. hGH
can not survive the saliva, much less the digestive
system. Real hGH is expensive and illegal without
prescription.
What are the
potential benefits and risks?
Raising
hGH and hormonal levels IN BALANCE results in youthful
actions and interactions within the body. Studies have
shown increased levels of hGH directly resulting in:
- Decrease fat, while increasing lean muscle
- Improve the look and feel of your skin
- Increase bone density and potentially reverse
osteoporosis
- Power up your brain and maintain memory, even as you age
- Boost your sex drive
- Tonify and improve overall physical and mental well
being
- Sleep better
- Improve your mood, and banish depression and fatigue
Human
Growth Hormone is considered the, "Master Hormone" of the
body and is involved directly or indirectly in pretty much
every part of running your body. A hormonal imbalance will
result in negative reactions within a body. Think about PMS
to see what a very minor fluctuation in hormones does; or
think about the so called, "roid rage" of steroid
abusers.
What product
will best suit my body in the long term?
Given
the two sections above, you can see that the best choice by
far is a product which supports, stimulates and protects the
function of the body's own hGH production whilst maintaining
full hormonal balance. There are several products on the
market which fulfil this set of requirements.
I
personally believe that GenF20 is the most effective of
these in terms of cost and efficacy. The results
experienced by my patients and myself back this conclusion
totally. Pretty much the only other product I have seen
similar results with is
GHR1000.
What will it
cost me & how do I get it?
Both of
these products become cheaper as you order more bottles. To
make it easy, the three prices listed below are for one,
three and twelve bottles respectively and include shipping
to Australia (correct at time of publication, Jan 2008) and
are in US Dollars.
What
are the myths I need to look out for?
"Mythbusters" is one of my favourite shows, so I happen to
love this subject. You should be familiar with the benefits
of returning hGH levels to those of your early 20's
(above). Let's now look at some of the complete,.. umm,..
"bovine excreta" (bovine=bull, excreta=poo).
OK, what getting your
hGH levels returned to those of your early 20s
can actually achieve,.. weight
loss, muscle growth, performance potentials as you had them
in your early 20s. You still had to expend effort then
too! So let's look at my favourite myths,..
hGH will make
you slim without any effort.
If this were true, there would be no overweight teenagers or
early twenties!
hGH will make
you totally muscular.
Muscles increase in size in response to work. No supplement
will increase muscle mass without some effort!
hGH will make
you into a sex god.
Oh dear, oh dear! If you're hGH deficient, raising levels
to those of your early twenties can potentially return you
to your 'desires' and 'ability' levels of that age as long
as your fitness and lifestyle are similar too. It is NOT a
formula to re-invent yourself into some mythical fertility
god!
hGH can turn
back time. WOW,..
just like in science fiction shows? Increased and balanced
hGH levels can increase skin thickness, appearance and
condition, but as for giving you the skin of a teenage model
if you're sixty, unless genetics has blessed you with it
already, it won't happen. You will look and feel younger,
but it won't turn back time.
As you
can see, reality is that hGH supplementation can help you,
but nothing comes without effort. Anything that says it can
provide these wonderful gains without effort is a scam.
Where can I
read more?
Our
sister site, GenF20.com.au is a comprehensive and complete
guide to hGH and the human body. There are three levels of
information on the site, basic, intermediate and advanced.
Both the intermediate and advanced sections have "lay"
interpretations alongside the technical information so you
can really get the best understanding possible without
having to be an endocrinologist.
We will
guide you through the
science,
methods,
benefits,
research and
experiences of others to help you decide for yourself
whether hGH supplementation is for you and what is the best
way for you to achieve the results you want. You can also
order from here or on the
GenF20.com.au site.
I complete in
sports, is this legal for me to use?
Read
more about
ASADA's policies regarding HGH. ASADA has no
restriction on precursor amino acid supplements but
professional athletes should always seek a written guarantee
from the manufacturer of a product that all ingredients are
listed so that they do not inadvertently take a prohibited
substance. Secretagogues are nutrient formulas which
stimulate the body to increase production (to normal levels
only) of target substances.
GenF20 and
GHR1000 are secretagogues.
Supplementation of this nature increases the body's whole
hormonal makeup rather than supplementing a particular
hormone at the cost (imbalance) of all the others in the
body.
What are normal
hGH levels?
In
21-year-olds, the normal levels of circulating HGH is
approximately 10 milligrams per decilitre of blood; in
61-year-olds, the average is 2 ml/dl, which represents an 80
percent decrease. In some cases, older people have
circulatory HGH levels that are less than 10 percent of
youthful levels. By age 65, an estimated 50 percent of the
population is partially or wholly HGH deficient. By the
time men and women are in their 70s, 38 percent of adults
are as deficient in HGH as growth-stunted children. |
