Growth Hormone Q&A

Q: What is Growth Hormone?

Growth Hormone is a naturally occurring substance in the body which is secreted by the pituitary gland. As we get older, production gradually slows over time.

GH affects almost every tissue in the body. GH is the "master hormone" controlling many organs and body functions and is directly responsible for stimulating tissue repair, cell replacement, brain functions, and enzyme function.

Q: What is Recombinant Growth Hormone?

Recombinant growth hormone is an exact duplicate of 191 amino chain acids. No longer is growth hormone extracted from dead people or any other way. It is bio-engineered in a lab and called Recombinant. This is the same that is used in injections.

Q: What diet can help?

The vegetarians, both ovolacto vegetarians and vegans, have elevated levels of Growth Hormone. Source: Nutr Cancer. 1986; 8(4): 239-245.)

Q: Can Chromium help?

Pigs fed Chromium-enreached diet had decreased Growth Hormone levels. Source: J Anim Sci. 1995 Apr; 73(4): 1123-1130.)

Q: Can Amino Acids help?

Supplemental strength amino acids taken by bodybuilders to stimulate Growth Hormone do not work. Source: Int J Sport Nutr. 1993 Sep; 3(3): 298-305.

Q: What does work best?

Exercise is the most available way to boost the Growth Hormone secretion. Source: J Appl Physiol. 1997 Nov; 83(5): 1756-1761
