Exploring Human Growth Hormone (HGH) for Anti-Aging

HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

HGH has only recently been brought to public attention for its anti-aging potential. The natural levels of HGH in our bodies peak during our early 20s and drastically decline. Many people are turning to HGH supplements to rejuvenate themselves and report upbeat results.

There are three ways to increase HGH in the body: homeopathic sublingual sprays, pharmaceutical injections, and pills that stimulate the pituitary gland to release more HGH. All three have the intent of increasing IGF-1 amounts within the body to benefit from the effects of youth. Here is a quick rundown of each option so you can decide which may be best for you.

Human Growth Hormone Pills

First off, if one is to consider HGH pills, they really do not contain HGH. What happens is that the pills are prepared from a blend of amino acids and stimulants, which are intended to increase the production of HGH by the pituitary gland.

The good news is that these pills really do work; the bad news is that their effects only last 4 to 8 weeks. After that, your pituitary gland tends to stop responding to the stimulation, which can become very frustrating. Additionally, there are concerns that these amino acid supplements might increase cortisol levels in the body, which is not healthy at all.

Human Growth Hormone Injections

We often read that HGH injections may cost anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 per year. You can find them for about $3,000 per annum, though, especially in Mexican pharmacies. Although the needles used today are safe and pretty much painless, I just did not like the idea of sticking myself twice every day.

If you take this route, it's very important that you have regular monitoring by a physician, as there can be risks associated with high dosages.

Human Growth Hormone Oral Spray

I went for HGH oral spray because it seemed less intense and invasive. It runs at a cost of $500 to $1,250 annually. Some of the benefits that can be reaped from sprays are fast absorption rates through the tissues of the mouth or nose, and effects begin within minutes.

When deciding on a spray to use, it wasn't only the ingredients listed but also how well or the rate at which they are absorbed into the body. Personally, I chose one that seemed homeopathically prepared because it seemed less likely to irritate my system.

Ultimately, it's about educating yourself on HGH and deciding upon a method that works for you. Regardless of when you start using HGH, many people find the results to be beneficial.
