The Human growth hormone [HGH] is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. The hormone peaks during the rapid-growth phase of adolescence, rapidly declining with age. HGH stimulates the liver the produce somatomedins which stimulates growth of the bones and muscles.

The HGH is a large and fragile protein molecule, with a molecular weight of twenty thousand Daltons. Daltons is the atomic mass unit. It is defined to be one twelfth of the mass of an unbound carbon-12 nuclide, at rest on its ground state.

The molecule is composed of 191 amino acids, though sometimes the molecules break apart to form smaller pieces. These 191 amino acids have got multiple fragile cross-linkages that give it an important 3-D configuration. The structure includes four helices necessary for fictional interaction with the GH receptor. GH us structurally and apparently evolutionarily homologous to prolactin and chorionic somatomammotropin. The hormone is synthesised, stored and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the arteriot pituitary gland which stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other animals.

Its only source is from humans genes, using very expensive and meticulous recombinant DNA technology. HGH from any other source even from animals does not work. There is no naturally occurring plant source of HGH and must be made using human genetics.

There are five ways that have been documented in the scientific literature to increase the circulating blood levels of Human Growth Hormone.

First, the amino acid Arginine was been shown to increase circulating levels of HGH after both injection (1) and oral administration (2). The drawback with the use of arginine is that very high doses, over 10 grams daily, were needed to achieve the increase in HGH. Before recommending this it would be important to determine the side effects of prolonged supplementation with mega doses of arginine. There are suggestions that bone growth, especially in the forehead area could be a potentially negative consequence.

Second, similar to arginine, its amino acid metabolite ornithine has been shown to elevate HGH levels after both injection (3) and oral supplementation (4). Again, large amounts were necessary (12 grams) and dosages of this size were seen to immediately cause diarrhea and moderate to severe stomach cramps. Based on this and the possibility of more serious, hidden, long term side effects the use of mega doses of ornithine cannot be recommended.

Third, oral administration of gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA) to both men and women has shown rapid increases in HGH (5). GABA is an amino acid neurotransmitter that signals the pituitary to release HGH. Research into GABA has been varied with no negative side effects ever reported with either short term or long term use. As little as two grams of GABA taken immediately before bed should promote the development of lean tissue while decreasing body fat.

Fourth, it has been found that the injection of biosynthetic Growth Hormone to young adults (ages 22-33) and to older men (ages 61-81) resulted in lean tissue shifts (6,7). However, you should be aware that the use of this hormone is strictly regulated by the pharmaceutical company that produces it and that it is difficult to obtain even with a Doctor’s prescription. Black market varieties of growth hormone should be completely avoided as they are normally phony or very harmful. This includes the highly popular European GH obtained from pituitaries at autopsy.
