If you are personally using HGH, Human Growth Hormone and have an HGH review please post a comment about your experiences at the bottom of this article.
I initially became very intrigued in recombinant human growth hormone, HGH, after reading Dr. Ronald Clantz’s book, Grow Young with HGH: The Amazing Medically Proven Plan to Reverse Aging.
In this book he brilliant lays out all the benefits of HGH (human growth hormone). Some of the studies he cites are mind-blowing. HGH has the ability to bring back folks from there death beds. Amazing stuff!
I think HGH will bring the youth back to our aging population. The only problem is HGH hormonal replacement is very expensive at the moment. There are only a few companies making recombinant human growth hormone here in the US. So prices are going to remain out-of-reach for most Americans. There are Chinese companies making high quality HGH, but none of them have bothered to get a US FDA approval. If a Chinese company does get FDA approval, the fountain of youth floodgate will be wide open.
It is now a fact that all hormonal levels deplete as we age. Why is that? Is that nature’s way to weed out the old and perhaps the unfertile?
We have compiled some interesting HGH information, for you.
From my research old age is a simply a changing in the hormonal levels. Hormonal deficiencies are the main obstacle to achieving prolonged youthfulness. So with these new discoveries and availably of HGH replacement, it is not only possible to stop aging but also to reverse the aging process.
Human growth hormone (HGH) is leading the list of the age-depleted hormones that can be replaced and provide for longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives. Growth hormone is natural; it is plentiful in the human body during youth. It is the substance that actually retains the properties of youth. HGH is essential to growth. It is a given to children who suffer with abnormally slow bone growth. It enables them to grow taller. HGH levels fall steadily in everyone once they reach adulthood. Since we now realize that HGH is intrinsic throughout life, it must be considered a vital hormone for maintenance of the adult body. Study after study reveals its amazing effects on the elderly population.
HGH is produced in the anterior section of the pituitary gland deep in the brain; it is a microscopic protein substance. Chemically, it is somewhat similar to insulin although it is secreted in short pulses during the first hours of sleep and after exercise. HGH only remains active for a few minutes. For that reason, is extremely difficult to measure HGH in blood serum. The body binds most of the growth hormone in the liver and then converts some into Somatomedin-C, another protein hormone also called Insulin-like Growth Factor- I (IGF-I).
Somatomedin-C remains in the blood stream for 24-36 hours, a blood sample identifying Somatomedin-C will be a more dependable indicator of competent HGH production. Normal Somatomedin-C blood levels in adults range from 200 to 450 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter). One third of individuals over 50 years of age show abnormal levels less than 200 ng/ml. During the growth spurt of youth, HGH levels are at maximum levels and the Somatomedin-C will be measured well over 600- 800 ng/ml. Yet for normal men and women under 40, less than 5% have levels below 250 ng/ml! After 40 many men and women have the same amount of HGH as an individual in there 80s or 90s!
When Somatomedin-C levels falls below the adult normal range, muscle and bone strength and energy levels most likely will decrease. Tissue repair, cell regeneration, healing capacity, upkeep of vital organs, brain and memory function, enzyme production, and revitalization of hair, nails and skin will also diminish. Aging and decreasing growth hormone levels have been linked.
In those who have decreased pituitary function, there is a shift in body composition whereby body fat increases by 10-25% while lean body mass decreases similarly. Strength and muscle mass are noticeably reduced. Bone density studies show long bone density and spinal bone density decrease as significantly as if the individual had aged 15 years. Weight gain of up to 30-50 pounds occurs when HGH levels suddenly drop. Furthermore, there are negative effects on cholesterol. Triglyceride levels increase while (HDL), high density cholesterol the good cholesterol, decreases. Increased risk of heart disease may be related to vascular wall thickening and changes associated with decreased cardiac output.
People suffering from HGH deficiencies report a rapid decline in exercise capacity, stamina and early deaths from heart disease. They also report the loss of well-being and symptoms of fatigue, social isolation, depression and a lack of the ability to concentrate.

I am 47 yr female. I just received results on blood tests which show my somatomedin-c levels to be 107ng/ml. I have every single symptom listed above shown with deficiencies, yet my Doc. says I have normal levels, despite the info. I have found on websites which indicate 200-400ng/ml is normal. Any suggestions on where to go next? I feel so depleted, yet I used to have much energy.

Most family practice doctors are ignorant about anti-aging medicine. You need to go to a hormone doctor. Look up one here,

pharmacy and ask for their recommendations. Come back and let us know how you make out.
