HGH Talk

It is true that HGH is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body. But it is also a powerful hormone with far reaching effects throughout the entire body. One of the concerns of users who want to use HGH therapy is the potential of such a therapy in raising the risk of cancer. It is a long running debate regarding HGH use.

Some of the known negative side effects of HGH usage include acromegaly, carpal tunnel syndrome and fluid retention, diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure. But of particular concern is whether HGH is responsible for causing cancer, and a few experiments suggest that increased IGF-1 levels (which are a direct result of HGH conversion) may contribute to a higher cancer risk.

Telomeres may hold the key to exciting future anti aging advances. Telomeres are strands or sequences of DNA attached to the ends of chromosomes. They have a very important role in cellular health. Every time your cells divide (and cells reproduce by dividing), the telomeres that are attached on the ends of the chromosomes get shorter (and shorter). In other words, telomeres may hold the key to cell lifespan.

The whole purpose of telomeres is to provide a buffer for the cells during replication, because cells cannot divide the chromosome part all the way to the end, and so use up the telomere instead as fodder to stand in for the chromosome. As the telomere gets shorter, and shorter, so the cell’s ability to divide also gets less and less - finally leading to the death of the cell (apoptosis). Read the rest of this entry »

Athletes thinking about cheating with HGH for the coming 2008 Olympics in Beijing, had better think twice. And cutting out the injections even weeks before the Games, won’t do it. They’d be better off staying home.

At least that’s according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) CEO, John Fahey, who warns that the new tests can detect HGH, even if it was administered “many days” prior to the competition. Read the rest of this entry »

Tryptophan is an amino acid that helps to bring about sleep. Getting enough sleep is very important if you want to maintain adequate production of growth hormone in your body. The problem is that high levels of stress can disrupt sleep from forming, and daily modern living exerts a high amount of stress on our entire being as it is.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid without which our bodies cannot survive for long, as it cannot be manufactured by the body. Tryptophan is present in a lot of foods, contrary to popular belief that it is mainly found in milk. All protein rich foods contain tryptophan, albeit at varying degrees.

You need to exercise, if you want to derive maximum benefit from your HGH replacement program. If you are taking shots of growth hormone, or any other growth hormone releasers, then vigorous exercise will amplify your HGH levels. This is especially true if you are already advanced in age, or are presently obese. The importance of physical fitness cannot be stressed more - in the context of anti aging.

According to statistics based on the typical American lifestyle, most American’s don’t exercise regularly, and only seven out of ten do so infrequently. So no exercise, poor dietary habits, and little sleep equals to a population deficient in HGH! The picture is probably worse now. Mind you, this is not the guys you see on Venice Beach, but the overall picture. And not only is this an American problem, it’s a worldwide problem. Most people everywhere are sleeping late into the night, and not exercising enough, and unknown to them, their growth hormone levels are dipping. Read the rest of this entry »
