Is Human Growth Hormone Really
"A Fountain of Youth"?
Human Growth Hormone is a naturally occuring substance in the human body which is secreted by the pituitary, the master gland of the body located in the endocrine system.
Growth Hormone is important for a number of reasons, in older individuals, it can slow down and in many cases even reverse the aging process. Aging is now considered a disease and not just a normal occurrence which goes unchecked. "I attended the Anti-Aging Conference in December with over 1,000 other physicians from around the world. Most doctors who attended agreed that Human Growth Hormone was one of the most exciting advancements in reversing the disease process since DHEA.", said Dr. Dorman.
Traditionally, it has been used in Europe and the United States for approximately 15 years with very gratifying results. It has previously been available by injection only and since injections can cost between $4,000 and $20,000 a year, only the wealthy have been able to afford this treatment.
The World's most advanced oral form of IGF-1 Releaser is now available for a fraction of the current cost.
What is Human Growth Hormone?
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced in the pituitary gland of humans, and the hormone is secreted throughout a person's lifetime. It promotes growth in children and plays an important role in adult metabolism. It was first isolated in 1956 and its structure was identified in 1972. Until the mid-1980's the only source of HGH was from pituitary glands collected post mortem. Today HGH is available in larger quantities through the technique of genetic engineering.
Why is there so much media focus on Growth Hormone?
To put it simply, there is no other substance known to man that has such far reaching ability to prevent and reverse the aging process.
"The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing older is not inevitable...
We now realize that some aspects of it can be prevented or reversed."
- Daniel Rudman, M.D.
Dr. Daniel Rudman, an endocrinologist, pioneered the original peer reviewed research on GH in humans. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, represents the biggest breakthrough in anti-aging research.
Until recently, growth hormone therapy has only been available in the form of injections that are prohibitively expensive and difficult to use. Now there are natural substances (secretagogues) which have been documented to increase growth hormone naturally and may exceed the effectiveness of injection therapy. These natural secretagogues provide nutritional support for the release of growth hormone from its sequestered state in the pituitary gland. As we age the pituitary gland releases less growth hormone. Natural secretagogues have been documented to help support the secretion of growth hormone as we age.
Studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and other journals show that Human Growth Hormone (hGH) may reverse human biological aging by:
- Restoring muscle mass.
- Decreasing body fat.
- Thickening the skin, reducing wrinkles.
- Restoring lost hair.
- Restoring hair color.
- Increasing energy.
- Increasing sexual function.
- Improving cholesterol profile.
- Restoring size of liver, pancreas, heart and other organs that shrink with age.
- Improving vision.
- Improving memory.
- Elevating mood and improving sleep.
- Normalizing blood pressure.
- Increasing cardiac output and stamina.
- Improving immune function.
GrowthMed is designed to provide total hormone support including Growth Hormones, DHEA, Testosterone, Estrone, Estradiol and Estriol.
Growth Hormone and Aging
Growth hormone declines with age in every animal species that have been tested to date. In humans, the amount of growth hormone after the age of 21 to 31 falls about 14% per decade, so that the total 24-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced in half by the age of 60. In numerical values, we produce on a daily basis about 500 micrograms at 20 years of age , 200 micrograms at 40 years , and 25 micrograms at 80 years old.
The easiest way to measure growth hormone in the body is by measuring plasma IGF-1 levels. Under 350 IU is considered evidence of deficiency. Between the ages of 20 to 40 years, less than 5% of healthy men have less than 350 IU per liter of IGF-1 levels. But after 60, 30% of apparently healthy men have this low amount. And after age 65, about half the population is partially or wholly deficient in growth hormone.
Total daily hGH secretion declines in humans with increasing age. "Elderly" levels are reached by age 35-40.

Measuring Growth Hormone In The Body
The aging process can be measured by levels of DHEA, Growth Hormone, and Somatomedin C in the blood. Another way is to look at the genetic timeclock which is a series of amino acids or telomeres. Growth hormone, formed by the pituitary gland has a profound effect on all the cells of the body, more than any other hormone. It may be stimulated in young adults by weight training and resistance exercise.
Aerobic exercise can also have a profound effect in stimulating growth hormone production in people over 40.
In people over 70, growth hormone can increase muscle mass and lower body fat without any changes in diet or exercise. However, a low fat diet and weight lifting can help to accelerate an increase in muscle mass and decrease body fat in elderly adults.
Growth hormone is safe with no known side effects when it is taken in the proper amounts. Too much or too little will have no effect at all, therefore, it is very important that the dosage be the correct amount for each individual.
Symptoms Of Deficiency In Growth Hormone

GrowthMed Questions & Answers
- Q: What is meant by a "growth hormone-releasing Secretagogue?"
- A: Any natural peptide or amino acid chain, which augments both the amount of, and release of, existing GH in the brains's pituitary gland.
- Q: What is the suggested dosage of GrowthMed?
- A: Supplements should be taken three tablets at a time, at bedtime, for five consecutive days, followed by a two-day break. The cycle is then repeated. After three consecutive months it is recommended that one take two to four weeks off. <
- Q: Why should GrowthMed be taken on an empty stomach?
- A: GH is released more reliably under conditions of low blood glucose and a low content of circulating free fatty acids in the blood. This means that such amino acid supplements work best if taken on an empty stomach.
- Q: Do GH-releasing supplements like GrowthMed have anabolic properties?
- A: GH releasers would manifest some anabolic properties through enhanced muscle protein synthesis and reduced muscle protein catabolism, both of which would enhance muscle anabolism.
- Q: Why is it suggested to take GrowthMed at bedtime?
- A: Taking amino acids or GH-releasers at such time is suggested as a way to augment the natural peak release of GH, which occurs during the initial ninety minutes of sleep.
- Q: What makes GrowthMed superior to other technologies?
- A: The addition of more hypothalmic peptides, liver support, adrenal support and significant amounts of adaptagenic herbs make GrowthMed the state-of-the-art Secretagogue in today's medical marketplace. Additonally, two delivery systems optimize the delivery and absorption of these fragile constituents, first into the stomach, then past the intestinal wall for staturation of the targeted receptor sites by the amino acids and peptides.
- Q: What are possible contraindications indicated by GrowthMed consumption?
- A: There are no known medical contraindications. To receive maximun utilization and absorption, it is important to take the product on an empty stomach.
- Q: May I take other supplements at the same time as GrowthMed?
- A: The important thing is not to jeopardize maximize saturation of the intended receptor sites, so taking the product alone would be optimal. Any supplement that increases testosterone levels would be compatible with simultanious ingestion. Supplements that increase insulin levels will interfere with the intended results of GrowthMed. Separate consumption of those supplements and GrowthMed by at least four hours.
- Q: What patient profiles could expect to benefit from GrowthMed usage?
- A: Cognitive function, muscle wasting, lean muscle conversion, bone density, Auto-immune issues, sleep problems, pre and post menopausal, sports performance and recovery, as well as body fat loss, all seem to be profiles which benefit from the GrowthMed Secretagogue.
- Q: Why might GrowthMed represent a superior alternative to synthetic growth hormone injection therapy?
- A: GrowthMed stimulates the body's own physiology i.e: releasing our own growth hormone levels versus injections which utilize synthesized growth hormone. GrowthMed enhances the existing pulsatile secretions of GH, while injections attempt to take the place of natural, pulsatile secretions. As regards the conversion of GH to IGF-1 metabolized in the liver; GrowthMed addresses this conversion with substantive liver support constituents. Injections do not address this needed protective step. Patients find it difficult to be compliant and inject themselves daily. GrowthMed is delivered in a convenient caplet form. Finally, GrowthMed costs the physician and patient one-tenth the cost of synthetic GH injections.
Caution: If you have serious health problems and are taking prescription medications, always consult your doctor before taking any form of nutritional supplements. - Q: How quickly should I expect to see results with GrowthMed?
- A: Everyone is different based on body biochemistry, immune integrity etc. Most people experience a more restful night's sleep and some lean muscle conversion rather quickly.
- Q: At what age may an individual benefit from GrowthMed?
- A: Most healthy people, below the age of 35, who have normal hormone levels, would not need the product. Everyone over 40, because of the rapid changes in the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis, would greatly benefit from the product's attributes. One exception: a serious athlete or bodybuilder, under the age of 35, may need GrowthMed because of the tremendous wear and tear on the body resulting from the physical activity.
- Q: Will GrowthMed benefit me if I no longer have a pituitary gland?
- A: If someone has pituitary disease or no pituitary function, he or she may have to use synthetic GH injections. GrowthMed will help secrete hormones that are sequestered in the pituitary, but it can not produce hormones that do not already exist. Please consult your doctors about GH injections.
- Q: Where can I get GrowthMed?
- A: You can order directly from our online secure store or ask your local health food store owner or doctor to call us at 954-341-0307.
