What is Human Growth Hormone (HGH)?
A hormone is a chemical messenger that travels through the blood stream and attachs to the surface of cells to send a message to certian cells to perform certian functions or change in a certain way. Human Growth Hormone is produced by the pituitary gland which is the master gland of the body. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is also known as somatotrophin because pituitary cells known as somatotrophes make HGH. It is a very large molecule of 191 amnio acids.

How Does HGH Work In The Body?
HGH is released by the pituitary gland into the blood stream in brief bursts called pules which mostly occur during the early hours of deepest sleep. It only stays in the blood stream for a few minutes but long enough to be taken up by the liver where it is converted into growth factors. The most important of these growth factors is Insulin Growth Factor One (IGF-1) which is also known as samotomedin C. Growth hormone exerts its actions either directly or indirectly through its intermediary insulin growth factors (IGF-1) to every organ system of the body. IGF-1 goes to all the cells of all the various organs like the bones, heart, brain, skin and so on and tells the cells to repair themselves and improve. As we age all are organs shrink and become less fully functional. When we have an increase in these growth factors over a period of 6 months all of our organs grow back to larger original size with better function. Even the brain is affected. The latest studies in animals show that it can regenerate damaged brain tissue.

What are Bio Indentical Hormones and Synthetic Hormones?
Bio indentical hormones are hormones that are identical 100% to the hormones in our body. Because this is true drug companies cannot get a patent on them and therefore cannot make money on them. Synthetic hormones are hormones that are synthetically produced and are not indentical to the hormones in the human body. These kind of hormones are often promoted by medical establishment and by the drug companies. They have bad side effects and often increase the chances of getting cancer whereas bioindentical hormones have been shown to improve ones health and decrease the risk of cancer. Human growth hormone is biosythetically produced but is 100% indentical to the human body and is therefore bioindentical.

How and When Did The Production Of Biosynthetic HGH Happen?
Human growth hormone was first produced in 1985 by Genentech but differed from the human growth hormone counterpart by one amino acid out of the 191 amino acids. Eli Lilly one year later was the first to produce human growth hormone that is 100% identical to hgh in the human body. These drug companies produced these hormones because of a financial incentive passed by Congress known as the Orphan Drug Act which gave companies 7 years exclusive rights to produce drugs for rare conditions such as children stunted because they were not producing human growth hormone.
