Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is HGH?

A: HGH (Human Growth Hormone) or Somatotropin, is a simple protein made up of a single chain of 191 amino acids, This naturally occurring substance is released by the pituitary gland, starting in childhood and continuing in to old age. The hormone enters our bloodstream in pulses, generally in the early hours of sleep. The hormone then moves quickly from the bloodstream to liver, where it is converted into substances called IGF-1 & 2. These are messenger molecules also known as "growth factors". They carry HGH's message of growth into other parts of the body. HGH is the "master hormone" controlling many organs and body functions and is directly responsible for stimulating tissue repair, cell replacement, brain functions, enzyme function... etc.

Q: Are there any side effects? Is it safe?

A: There are no know side-effects. However, when the body increases its vital energy, it may begin to heal its weaknesses. When the body begins to heal old health issues, it is called a healing crisis or re-tracing. The body may expel toxins stored in the fat tissue and organ systems. This elimination process can cause uncomfortable temporary conditions such as headaches, skin irritations, mild anxiety, heart palpitations, and /or viral outbreaks, potential signs that the body has begun to heal itself.
It is important to remember that as your body begins to repair itself, it requires more water intake to assist in the elimination of toxins. The average person should drink at least (8) glasses of quality water a day. It is advisable to discontinue the use of Growth Hormone Therapy for a few days at a time, to reduce the level of discomfort experienced. Side effects are highly reduced if you begin a Whole Body (colon, kidneys, liver, lung, blood) Detoxification / Rejuvenation and Nutritional Supplement Program a few weeks prior to or along with HGH Therapy.
If you experience prolonged symptoms, consult with an anti-aging physician to identify another possible cause for your condition.
If you have an existing health problem (e.g., sexually transmitted disease, cancer, thyroid problem, HIV+, heart disease, Alzheimer's, pregnancy, etc.), consult with a skilled anti-aging physician before starting HGH Therapy or any other dietary supplement.

Q: Does HGH Therapy have approval from the FDA?

A: Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act in 1994 also known as (DSHEA-1994). DSHEA created a new food category for dietary supplements. In order for the FDA to remove a dietary supplement from the market, it must prove that the product causes undue harm to the consumers.

DSHEA allows for low dose hormones in the form of Gels, Creams, Transdermal Patches, or capsules (Estrogen, Progesterone, HCG, DHEA, Melatonin, etc.) to be sold and marketed as dietary supplements. When delivered using a safe method of administration (sub-lingual, a tablet, capsule, cream, gel, etc.), bioidentical hormones fall into the category of foods, not drugs.

A: HGH Pro (Forte) has a shelf life of one year. It is advisable to keep HGH Pro (Forte) out of extreme heat or direct sunlight. HGH Pro Pak / HGH Pro Patches have a shelf life of six months.

Q: What are the warning signs that signal possible deficiencies in my production of Growth Hormone?

A: Growth hormone declines with age in every animal species that has been tested to date. In humans, the amount after the age of twenty to thirty-one falls about 14 percent per decade, so that the total 24-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced by over 80% by the age of sixty. The decline in GH in the body is directly tied to the bulging, wrinkling, saggy creatures that we all sooner or later become. If you lack the vitality and youthful look you felt only years before it is likely that your GH levels have decreased.

Q: How does GH act in my body and how is it measured?

A: Following the release of a burst of GH from the pituitary gland at night or during a between-meal period, the hormone is rapidly taken up by the liver which if thus informed chemically to make a myriad of growth factors. These are chemical messengers that instruct the various cells of the body, be they nerve, bone, skin, or muscle, to rebuild and repair themselves to their unique specifications. If the growth factors are lowered, less building occurs. The factor that is measured in the blood to determine an average person's daily GH secretion is called IGF-1 & 2. It is this lab test for IGF-1 & 2 that measures the result of your GH secretion.

Q: What are the differences between injections versus capsules, powders and patches?

A: HGH injections require a dosage of 4 to 8 IU's weekly and is administered twice daily by an anti-aging medical practitioner at a cost of $800 to $1,500.00 a month! Or roughly $10,000.00 to $18,000.00 per year.

Capsules and powders are taken orally into the digestive system and are broken down by stomach bile and acids. HGH Transdermal Patches can be applied directly to the skin and they directly enter the Blood Stream by bypassing the digestive system. All these are a safe, efficient and cost effective method of increasing HGH levels for reverse aging the body.

Q: What age is best to take HGH Pro (Forte)? And is it safe for children?

A: The best age to take HGH Pro (Forte) / HGH Pro Pak anti-aging supplement / use HGH Pro Patches is when the individual takes interest in keeping their youthful levels.

HGH Pro (Forte) / HGH Pro Pak anti-aging supplements and HGH Pro Patches are safe for children when they have tested low for IGF-1 levels and do not match the normal development in other children in the same age group. Do not administer to children or adults who are able to produce healthful levels of GH on their own. It is advisable to periodically monitor IGF-1 levels when using this Program.

Q: What else can I do?

A: Some of the most important factors in anti-aging is to follow a program of sensible eating and daily exercise. To maximize the effect of HGH Pro (Forte), include a diet of fresh organic fruits, vegetables and plenty of quality water. Take lots of Nutritional supplements like Organic Calcium, Organic Magnesium, Organic Zinc and with a good Multivitamin / Mineral supplement at Optimum Daily Allowance (ODA) levels to help the rebuilding and rejuvenation of the body.

Q: How long should Nutritional Supplements be taken?

A: Begin taking Nutritional Supplements during the full tenure of the HGH Therapy Program and for a minimum of 3 to 6 months after discontinuing the Program. HGH levels continue to maintain high for months after you discontinue or interrupt the program.

It would be ideal if Nutritional Supplements were taken about 4 weeks prior to beginning the Program. This will help to reduce the incidence of side effects experienced by a small percentage of participants – typically 1% to 2%.

Q: What research and studies are available on Growth Hormone?

A: For over thirty years now researchers have been studying Growth Hormone and the effects on aging. One of the first major books for the general public was written by Dr. Ronald Klatz., President, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. "Grow Young With HGH". A wonderful, cutting edge book of scientific research on GH.

Q: How can I monitor the increase in Basal Metabolic Rate?

Basal Body Temperature
* Check if early morning Basal Body Temperature is below 97.5? F. to confirm your Basal Metabolic Rate. Leave Thermometer in armpit for 10 minutes to register highest possible temperature. Menstruating women should perform test on 2nd, 3rd & 4th day of menstruation. Menopausal women or women with irregular periods can check on any day.

Early morning Temperatures below 97.5? F indicate that your Metabolic Rate is low. People who suffer from Hypothyroidism can measure Temperature as low as 90.0? F.

As the Human Growth Hormone Therapy takes effect the body temperature begins to rise. Optimum Metabolic Rate is reflected by temperatures in excess of 97.5 ? F. Higher Basal Temperatures help to reduce the fresh accumulation of Fat Mass in the body and also helps to metabolize the old Fat in the Body.

Thyroid Self-Test:
To test yourself for an underactive Thyroid, keep an Electronic Thermometer by your bed at night. When you wake up in the morning, place the thermometer in your armpit and hold it there for about 10 minutes. Keep still and quiet. Any movement of the body can upset your temperature reading. Temperature of the Body rises when you begin moving around. A temperature of 97.5?F. or lower is indicative of an underactive Thyroid. Keep a Temperature log for five days. Menstruating women should perform test on 2nd, 3rd & 4th day of menstruation. Menopausal women or women with irregular periods can check on any day.

If your readings are consistently low, consult your Health Care provider.
