HGH Talk

Lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the body. In body building circles, lysine is the icing on the cake to be taken along with arginine and glutamine, in most amino acid stacks. The normal RDA is 1.5 gm daily, but if you want it to be effective in fuelling HGH, you need a lot more, preferably a few grams.

Lysine is responsible for maintaining important growth processes like bone and muscle growth. Lysine enhances the absorption of calcium and deficiencies in it can lead to poorly formed bones and limbs, and delayed or retarded growth. It is also important in genital development.

Mucuna Pruriens (velvet bean, cowhage) is one of the best natural substances that raise HGH levels. It contains a lot of l-dopa (levodopa), which is a precursor for dopamine, a neurotransmitter of the brain involved in mood control, concentration, sexual desire, and sleep. It has a long history of usage in Indian traditional medicine, or Ayurveda, for its ability to stimulate sexual desire and improve semen quality.

However, Mucuna pruriens is being studied for its use in treating people with Parkinson’s Disease due to being one of the few significant sources of l-dopa. As stated earlier, the l-dopa contained in Mucuna pruriens is used by the body to synthesize dopamine, which then stimulates HGH release, as well. Note though, that more studies to confirm its effect on humans are needed. Read the rest of this entry »

Melatonin is well known as the sleep hormone. But, a lesser known fact is that melatonin is also an important link in the aging cycle. That means if you want to slow down your aging, a melatonin supplement can help. But how does it fit in with the pituitary-HGH-IGF-1 axis?

If you study the biology of aging, you’ll notice that the levels of many hormones start declining simultaneously after we hit middle age, which would be understood as around the mid-forties. The pineal gland responds to this age threshold by reducing its melatonin output. When we get older and less able to breed, nature designs our bodies to start deteriorating.

Deer antler velvet is the antler velvet taken from young deer. All types of deer that grow antlers are potential sources of deer antler velvet. But what does deer antler have to do with HGH?

Well, deer antler velvet is marketed by some quarters as a source of IGF-1, especially the antler velvet harvested from non mature deer. These are antlers that haven’t calcified (solidified) wholly yet, and it is believed they are a rich source of growth factors. Let’s take a closer look at them. Read the rest of this entry »

Exercise is well established by medical science as one the main ways to stimulate HGH release. That’s what we all have been taught. But not only do you need to exercise, but you need to do it the right way as well. Not just any form of exercise will do.

If you want to get your HGH levels pumping higher, you need to get the weights out. Weight training or high intensity exercise seem to be the only effective ways to get the pituitary to respond; low intensity exercise like walking or jogging are less effective if you’re thinking in terms of HGH release. Of course, just remember that pushing yourself way past your limits is equally bad. The key is consistency. Read the rest of this entry »
