One of the recent trends in the supplement circles is human growth hormone, or HGH for short. They are associated with health benefits, muscle building and anti-aging, among other things. However, many people view them with suspicion. So what are natural HGH supplements and what do they do?
The body’s production of human growth hormone peaks around puberty and slows down rapidly in middle age. Although injections have historically been used to help maintain lean muscle mass and a youthful appearance, the side effects of artificial HGH have sometimes been significant and even catastrophic.
The potentially dangerous side effects stemmed from the use of synthetic HGH hormones. However, when using natural HGH supplements in spray or tablet form, the results are very different. Dietary supplements, also known as HGH releasers, do not provide you with the growth hormones directly but rather help to improve the body’s production.
This is made possible by using ingredients that your system needs to create its growth hormones. Although results may vary from person to person, when it comes to muscle repair, increased energy, and anti-aging benefits, a number of users report satisfaction with the results. This is without the side effects associated with the artificial strain.
You may remember that we mentioned earlier that growth hormone production decreases with age, usually by the time you hit your thirties and forties. It is accompanied by an inevitable slowdown in physical activity. The supplements provide nutrients that have been found to potentially increase this production, potentially making us feel younger and more manly.
More HGH affects the body in two different ways. First, it can change the overall composition in specific, subtle, but important ways. These changes improve metabolism to keep people more physically active. The end result is that muscles remain in better overall condition.
While using HGH supplements might be helpful, some would prefer to use certain natural substances that may boost human growth hormone release, or even use them in addition to supplements.
Since the bulk of human growth hormone production occurs during bedtime, it makes sense that getting enough restful sleep is likely to improve production. Try using a face mask when you go to bed as it can help increase the production of melatonin. This is a natural hormone that contributes to restful sleep.
Certain supplements and compounds can help improve growth hormone production. Some of these can be found in HGH supplements and also as standalone products. An example is the amino acid L-arginine. This can be found in supplements aimed at increasing nitric oxide (NO), which are extremely popular with weightlifters and bodybuilders. Because of this, combining supplements can often provide significantly better results than using just one variety.
