Benefits of Growth Hormone Therapy

“The effects of six months of human growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose tissue reversed the equivalent of changes incurred during 10-20 years of aging.” "The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable...We now realize that some aspects of it can be prevented or reversed."
- Dr. Daniel Rudman, MD - New England Journal of Medicine

In 1999, the National Institute on Aging completed another landmark study that was designed to either refute or substantiate the results of Dr. Rudman and also to extend his study by measuring other parameters. This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial in both men and women with a large number of patients. This study involved not only Growth Hormone but also the estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. This study not only confirmed the benefits of Growth Hormone, but also demonstrated that the addition estrogen/progesterone and testosterone improved the effectiveness of Growth Hormone.

Thierry Hertoghe, M.D. published a study in which he investigated the signs of symptoms of individuals aged 27 to 82 before and after 2 months of growth hormone treatment (self reported questioners by the patients).

This study and numerous others demonstrate that treatment with growth hormone results in significant improvements in both physical appearance and in emotional and mental well-being. The enhancement in quality-of-life with the use of Growth Hormone Therapy is truly remarkable.

After being the most scrutinized pharmaceutical in history, the FDA approved HGH for adult deficiency. After many years of research and clinical use, growth hormone has proven to have an excellent long and short-term safety profile, with very few side effects.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a biological active analog of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) that is produced by the human brain to stimulate production and release of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Sermorelin stimulates production of the body's own HGH. It is a truncated analog of growth hormone releasing factor (GRF 1-44) that is naturally produced by the brain to stimulate pituitary production and secretion of HGH.

During youth, ample amounts of GHRH are produced so that the pituitary is able to provide the body with sufficient growth hormone to sustain health, vitality and otherwise normal aspects of form and function. GHRH declines with age causing reduced production and secretion of pituitary HGH and thereby increasing the sequelae of growth hormone insufficiency.

Unlike HGH, Sermorelin affects a more primary source of failure in the GH neuroendocrine axis, has more physiological activity, has a better safety profile, and its use for adult hormone deficiency is not restricted.
Sermorelin benefits:

* Increases natural production of Growth Hormone
* Improves Physical Performance
* Improves Immune Function
* Increases IGF-1
* Improves sleep quality
* Decrease body fat
* Increase lean muscle mass

While Sermorelin produces the same effects on body composition and provides the other benefits of HGH, it also has some additional and important benefits. The effects of Sermorelin are regulated at the level of the pituitary gland by negative feedback and by release of somatostatin so that safety concerns associated the HGH overdosing are minimized or completely avoided.

Tissue exposure to HGH released by the pituitary under the influence of Sermorelin is episodic not "square wave", and therfore, prevents tachphylaxis by mimicking normal physiology. By stimulating the pituitary it preserves more of the growth hormone neuroendocrine axis that is the first to fail during aging.
