Aging

Anti-Aging, Life Extension and Longevity

These are all synonyms for what started out as a scientific exploration into the mechanisms of aging and has evolved into a social movement as well as big business. The search for the “Fountain of Youth” is one of humankinds’ most enduring myths. The desire to discover, market and benefit from anything that will make adults look, feel and act younger drives a massive research and marketing effort. In order for the average person to benefit from the myriad of products out there that claim to have “anti-aging” benefits, we must understand something about what is available, what has been proven effective through controlled studies and what is just an attempt to separate us from our money.

Without a doubt, the most visible…and to date… the most proven substance to have anti-aging properties is Hgh or human growth hormone. First extracted from the pituitary glands of cadavers at great expense and used to treat dwarfism, Hgh has become the poster child for the anti-aging movement. Today, Hgh is manufactured at a fraction of the cost of extraction from cadavers through recombinant DNA technology. Despite this, it is still very expensive and administered only through daily injections. Even if a person could afford it and got around the need for a prescription by buying from an offshore pharmacy and was willing to inject themselves, one would still need to have and understand regular and expensive lab tests to determine and maintain proper dosage.

What are the alternatives? There are numerous products that purport to raise Hgh levels through pills sprays and creams. They fall into one of the following basic categories. Hgh releasers, Hgh Secretagogues, Homeopathic Hgh Enhancers

HGH Human Growth Hormone

This is the abbreviation for Human Growth Hormone, the 'master switch' for the body's hormones. The field of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is burgeoning as the baby boomers move into their 50's and 60's. HGH is the most studied and, to date, most effective PROVEN anti-aging substance. As we age, the body's production of HGH declines and our body's strength, healing capacity, disease resistance, sexual vigor, memory, skin and muscle tone and muscle mass decline on a parallel scale. At the same time fat, wrinkles and sore joints increase. HRT aims to restore hormones to their youthful levels. HGH has been described as the ultimate anti-aging therapy. It affects almost every cell in the body and has an over-all rejuvenating and mood elevating effect. The list of benefits of HGH grows with each new clinical study and it's being used to treat everything from AIDS to osteoporosis.
