HGH Talk

The pituitary gland is one of the most important and influential endocrine glands in the entire body. For the reason that it secretes a number of all important hormones, like growth hormone (HGH) for example, it is often called the master gland.

Any disorder affecting the pituitary gland is bound to affect the normal and proper growth of the body, and lead to accelerated aging or slow development. One of the most insidious disorders affecting the pituitary is hypopituitarism. Read the rest of this entry »

While there is much publicity about HGH today, the fact is, relatively few actually get to undergo HGH injections because of the laws set by the government and medical establishment forbidding recombinant HGH injection therapy in all but bona fide cases of pituitary and related growth dysfunction.

Some reasons have been postulated, such as the hypothalamus becoming less sensitive to hormone imbalances, declining liver function, stress induced cortisol levels, and the inability to obtain deep, restful sleep with advancing age.

One of the beneficial substances for anti aging purposes is pregnenolone. Well, what is pregenenolone? This is a neurosteroid prohormone that forms the basis of other hormones like progesterone, testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol. It is also, the forerunner or precursor of DHEA, and this fact may make it a better alternative to DHEA itself. Read the rest of this entry »
