What is Human Growth Hormone (hGH)?
What is hGH?...Human Growth hormone (HGH or (hGH) or GH
Human Growth Hormone, or hGH, which is chemically known as Somatropin, is actually a protein that is composed of 191 amino acids. Most of the body's organs and systems depend on hGH, in some way, to function. The pituitary gland is the site of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) creation. Somatropes, which account for more than fifty percent of the pituitary gland, actually produce hGH.
Human Growth Hormone peaks during adolescence and then decreases dramatically thereafter. For example, at the age of 40, hGH production is about 40% of what it was at the age of 20. This trend continues with age.
Physical effects associated with this significant decline in Human Growth Hormone include an increase in body fat and anxiety, and a decrease in general well being. It is for these very reasons that hGH supplements have become so popular.
