OK first we are going to talk about what is HGH. Human Growth Hormone is a protein produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the liver to produce what scientist call somatomedins. Somatomedins is responsible for the growth of bone and muscle. That’s why young people have a very high HGH levels, because they are in there growing stage.
When you become older the body produces less HGH. When the body produces HGH it only stays in the blood for a few minutes. Most people get there highest level of Human Growth Hormone when they are sleeping or when doing exercise.
As you may know, there are many children who have difficulty in growing, so they get treated with Growth Hormone injections. These injections are very expensive and may have lots of negative effects in the body. Even if these children get treated with artificial Growth Hormone, this doesn’t mean they are going to grow taller. Its not 100% effective and many have reported serious side effects.
