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 »
According to a recent study, more and more Americans are working more, and sleeping less. The average hours of sleep per person has been steadily declining since the past 20 years. Nearly 70 percent of all Americans claim to get less than 8 hours of sleep a day, with a survey finding that 30 percent of workers admitted falling asleep on the job, or feeling very sleepy while at work. But aside from impacting work, and increasing the risk of accidents or mishaps, lack of sleep can trigger a whole range of downstream physical side effects, one of which is a decrease in the production of HGH.
The body releases HGH while it sleeps, and the prime time for growth hormone release is during slow wave sleep (SWS), which is the phase when the brain waves are mostly in delta. The old saying, “You grow while you sleep,” is perfectly true, and we could all do better to pay more heed to this bit of age old wisdom. Read the rest of this entry »
DHEA has long been an established item on many an athlete’s menu. And like the bad press that HGH enjoys, DHEA has not gone unscathed, but somehow, it still maintains its popularity amongst the health/body conscious group. But is there any basis in some findings that claim DHEA is virtually “useless” to the body? The debate has been going on for a long time actually.
People take DHEA for almost the same reasons as HGH. These include weight control, muscle building, immune system enhancement, and in treating impotence. And with most issues in medical science, for every finding that claims DHEA is useless, there are other findings that claim otherwise. Read the rest of this entry »
