A recent report reveals that human growth hormone may be beneficial in helping obese patients with weight loss.

Patients involved in the study lost an average of about 5 pounds.

Calculated dose aids weight loss in obese patients, study finds

ST. LOUIS, USA — A controlled dose of growth hormone may help people who are obese lose weight and maintain the energy to exercise, new research at Saint Louis University shows.

Stewart Albert, M.D., professor of internal medicine in the division of endocrinology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and Arshag Mooradian, M.D., chair of the division of endocrinology at Saint Louis University, presented their findings at ENDO 2003, the 85th Annual Meeting of The Endocrine Society, which took place in Philadelphia from June 19-22.

Introduction to Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

I am an adult male and became fascinated with HGH in 2003 by a twist of fate.  It occurred after I met one of my neighbors and became friends with him, not to mention he later got me a job teaching part time at one of the universities where he was working!  

My friend, Dr. W, is a University Professor who has a resume spanning over 40 years teaching at prestigious universities, all over the world. What caught me off guard was the fact Dr. W claimed he was in his mid 60’s, but didn’t look even close.  He wouldn’t tell me his exact age, yet he had the energy, a lust for life, and the vitality of an athletic man in his early 30’s.  I found it strange, even bizarre, as he honestly didn’t look a day older than 37.

Dr. W told me, after a life of world travel, hard work and  play, he was worn out, and ready to give up on life and take a dirt nap six feet under – *I smiled*.  This was, of course, until he discovered injectable HGH.  I didn’t believe him at first, until one day Dr. W convinced me to try it.  I pinched a roll of fat on my stomach and stuck a small insulin needle in just under the skin, and injected fresh cool liquid HGH (HGH is kept cool in the refrigerator).

HGH Replacement Therapy has had very good results for some people and bad or no results for others - there are a lot of factors involved in an HGH program. The main factor in the success of a Human Growth Hormone replacement therapy is the dosing and frequency a doctor prescribes. Generally HGH therapies are expensive for some people (around $380 a month), so not everybody can afford the luxury and expense to get treated with HGH, Human Growth Hormone. In many cases, HGH, Human Growth Hormone replacement therapy can reverse the symptoms of aging in people who are HGH deficient and use HGH properly in a proper HGH program.

HGH, Human Growth Hormone replacement therapy can provide a lot of benefits, many of these benefits have been proven over and over. Some of the benefits of HGH, Human Growth Hormone replacement therapy are a reduction of fat, a gain of new muscle, reduction of wrinkles (aka healthy and thicker skin), re-growth or regneration of internal organs, increase bone strength and density, strengthen or ballance the immune system and general anti-aging properties.

HGH therapy probably can not significantly reverse severe damage to human proteins within the body, It probably cannot undo the effects of serious cardiovascular disease and it cannot necessarily eliminate all the life time negative effects of the reduction of other hormones in our body. If you are interested - you should consult one of our doctors for more specific knowledge and information on human growth hormone therapies. (Click below to Read More)

How much HGH does one use?

Typical Protocol of Human Growth Hormone

A typical protocol utilizing low doses has shown to have the best effects.

A typical protocol for someone over the age of 35, deficient in HGH / IGF-1, and showing signs of Andropause (see symptoms of andropause) is approximately 1IU per day, with 5 days on (Monday through Friday using 1IU per day) and 2 days off (Saturday and Sunday no usage of HGH).

What is the Best time of Day to Inject Human Growth Hormone

Some research has shown the best time to take HGH injections is in the mornings, upon awakening. Other research has also shown the majority of naturally produced HGH is pulsed from the Pituitary Gland at night. This has lead to further studies showing that a once a day injection at night seems to have the most beneficial effect, while some have found injections in the morning provide the best results. A third option is distributed dosing.

Distributed Dosing: Using 2 or more injections of HGH a day

Some researchers have administered Human Growth Hormone injections twice daily. A typical dose is split up, once in the morning upon awakening, and once at night before going to sleep. Generally however, most typical protocols recommend one time per day.

HGH Replacement, Human Growth Hormone Replacement

The idea behind HGH replacement is that as we get older, the amount of Human Growth Hormone in our body decreases and by replacing HGH to more youthful levels, we can regain health, wellness and vitality.

There is an old adage that states youth is wasted on the young.

It is important to reiterate that HGH will decline in everyone as they age!

To Quote Dr. Edward M. Lichten, M.D.,P.C.

In those who have no pituitary function, there is a shift in body composition whereby body fat increases by 7-25% while lean body mass decreases similarly. Muscle strength and muscle mass are noticeably reduced. Bone density studies indicate long bone density and spinal bone density decrease as significantly as if the individual had aged 15 years. Pronounced weight gain of 30-50 pounds occur when HGH wanes. Furthermore, there are negative effects on cholesterol; triglyceride levels increase while high density cholesterol (HDL), a ‘good cholesterol’, decreases. Increased risk of cardiovascular disease may be related to vascular wall thickening and changes associated with decreased cardiac output. Such insufficiencies may contribute to these people reporting a rapid decline in exercise capacity and early deaths from heart disease. They also report an impaired sense of well-being and symptoms of fatigue, social isolation, depression and a lack of the ability to concentrate.

New Hope for Growth Hormone Deficiency:
F.D.A. Approves HGH for Adult Use!

Recombinant human growth hormone has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for adult men and women in the treatment of hypopituitarism and somatotropin deficiency. If one suffers with hypopituitarism, HGH therapy is available as normally payable under an insurance policy ... Based on the literature and our experience with HGH replacement, the positive changes noted may also apply to individuals with low growth hormone levels. The term used is somatotropin deficiency syndrome.

Bill Rayl, 58, told NBC 7/39 he credits it with changing his life. Rayl said he looks forward to exercise, has vigor, energy and muscles. He said he feels better than he did eight years ago.

"I was wearing a 40-inch pant at that time and didn't have the energy to exercise a great deal," Rayl said.

Kevin Lester is Rayl's doctor at Cenegenics, an age-management program.
