As we grow older, we suffer major declines in the hormones we need to stay healthy. One of the most important is growth hormone (GH)—often called human growth hormone (hGH) to distinguish it from animal-derived products. Growth hormone injections The most effective way of boosting GH blood levels is regular injections. While the cost of synthetic GH injections for anti-aging purposes is very high, it is now available from various doctors in North America. Amino acid GH releasers For some years now, scientists have been exploring the ability of high doses of nutrients to restore GH to younger levels. It has been shown that while the aging pituitary adequately produces GH, its secretion from the pituitary is down-regulated with age. However, scientists have found that certain amino acids and vitamins can stimulate the natural release of GH from the pituitary in many people. The B vitamin, niacin, and the following amino acids have been shown to stimulate GH release: L-Arginine L-Lysine L-Glutamine L-Ornithine Glycine The release of growth hormone causes the body to: Burn fat Increase muscle mass and skin thickness Improve immune function In addition, hGH stimulates the growth of organs that shrink with age—the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, thymus, and thyroid. Growth hormone stimulates production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), which helps to optimize communication between the immune, nervous, and hormonal systems. GH release may be improved if one to three grams of choline and up to two grams of pantothenic acid are taken at the same time as amino acid releasers. The product Choline Cooler by Durk & Sandy contains both choline and pantothenic acid and is appropriate for this purpose. For other products that have growth hormone releasing effects, see the Powermaker II formula by Durk & Sandy. GH formulas The principle behind the use of multiple growth hormone releasing compounds at the same time is called "stacking." The theory behind this principle is that since many of these compounds operate to stimulate GH release by different mechanisms, taking them together will cause a larger release effect. The doses of each can be made smaller than normally used, with fewer consequent side effects. Some people even think that these compounds may be synergistic when taken together, thereby increasing the effect beyond the additive amounts from each compound. Daytime Growth Hormone Formula contains potent amounts of the superior GH releasing amino acid, L-ornithine as well as the milder GH releasing amino acid L-tyrosine, which also produces a stimulating effect. This combination may be ideal to promote GH release during exercise. Each six capsules contain: % RDA L-ornithine HCl 3000mg * L-tyrosine 500mg * Vitamin C 1000mg 1667% Vitamin B6 100mg 5000 % Daytime Growth Hormone Formula is to be taken one hour before exercise on an empty stomach.
