HGH Talk

Colostrum may be a cheap but reliable answer to increasing the amount of available growth factors for use by our bodies. For those who don’t know what colostrum is, it is a substance secreted by mammals for their newborn babies during the first few days after their birth. Soon afterwards, the mother’s mammary glands stop producing colostrum and it soon disappears from the diet of the newborns. This also explains why babies need mother’s milk, and those deprived of it tend to grow up weaker and with lesser immunity compared to their breast fed counterparts. And being the “first milk,” colostrum is the most valuable mother’s milk of all.

Assuming we could have colostrum on a daily basis, what would be its long term effects on our health? This was something I was curious to find out. So just recently, I began on a colostrum program of my own, in addition to what I was already taking, in order to determine if colostrum really could make a difference both in the way I felt, and my overall health. All colostrum being sold are derived from cows (bovine colostrum), which fortunately, has many similarities to human colostrum, and is relatively low cost to “produce.” Read the rest of this entry »

Coenzyme Q10 is one of the more effective nutrients you can consider taking, which isn’t too expensive but produces results. And I can say this without reserve because I’ve just started testing it, but the difference in the way I feel is noticeable, even after just a short while taking it.

So here is my review of coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10, which I hope to write follow ups in future. To be honest, I used to think that coenzyme Q10 was just a minor nutrient in the anti aging puzzle, but how mistaken I was! It turns out that this fat soluble vitamin-like substance performs a wide variety of functions in the body, but so far has not been accorded proper recognition. Read the rest of this entry »

Broad beans and human growth hormone - What do they have in common? It seems that eating lots of broad beans may increase the level of L-dopa (L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) in the body, which in turn, encourages the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. And this increase of HGH is one of the main benefits of L-dopa, as we shall see.

On its own, L-dopa (levodopa) is an important amino acid that is the precursor of dopamine. It is actually a derivative of the amino acid L-tyrosine, and is administered to the body in place of dopamine. L-dopa can be administered to the body whereas dopamine cannot, because it (L-dopa) can bypass the walls of the membranes within the central nervous system and be absorbed directly by the cells, and thus converted into dopamine. What dopamine does is help a lot of important brain functions like sleep, mood, learning, behavior, and regulating prolactin production from the pituitary. Read the rest of this entry »

There are many products that claim to stimulate HGH production, and function as secretagogues, but not many will work if you take them as suggested. And why is this so? Let’s look at the main underlying reasons for this.

Firstly, let’s get this clear. We are talking about amino acid based formulations that work by stimulating the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone (GH/HGH). These are relatively the cheapest HGH products on the market, and for those hyper-worry types, there are virtually no side effects incurred by using them. You just need to cycle them off on a periodic basis. But the downside is that their effect is often somewhat muted, compared to conventional injections. It is dependent largely on the condition of the person’s pituitary gland, age, and overall health.

In order to stimulate the pituitary gland into action, amino acid based HGH releasers need consistent usage, and you need to take them on an empty stomach (you’ll waste them if your stomach contains even a little food). These though, are not the real reasons why some amino acid based secretagogues don’t seem to work for many people. Read the rest of this entry »

The Human Growth Hormone is a very large molecule, comprising by default, 191 amino acids. At the same time, scientists have produced various other “slimmer” forms of recombinant growth hormone that may contain a lesser number of amino acids. Undeniably, the HGH molecule is among the largest naturally occurring peptide molecules in existence. Besides the usual injection method, what other ways are thought to exist in order to deliver growth hormone into our bodies? Read the rest of this entry »
