GHRH – Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone

The best kept “secret” in human growth hormone research so far, is likely to be Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, or commonly abbreviated to GHRH. It is also called Growth Hormone Releasing Factor (GHRF) or somatocrinin. GHRH precedes the release of growth hormone proper (HGH), by stimulating its release from the pituitary gland. Its effect is… Read More: GHRH – Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone »

Human Growth Factors

Human Growth Factors are an increasingly popular method of increasing HGH levels without actually taking the growth hormone itself. These growth factors stimulate the actual production of HGH and may even mimic the effects, but by themselves, are not true growth hormone. Unfortunately for medical science and the world’s aging population, the issue of HGH… Read More: Human Growth Factors »

The growth factor: IGF-1

IGF-1 is an abbreviation for Insulin-like Growth Factor 1. Sometimes, it’s called Somatomedin C. The measurement of IGF-1 has previously been taken to indicate the level of HGH in the body. If your IGF-1 levels are high, then that means your HGH levels are high, and vice versa. How does IGF-1 come about? This protein… Read More: The growth factor: IGF-1 »
