Todas las especies que coexisten en el mundo tienen en común la disminución del HGH del crecimiento con el paso del tiempo. Los humanos no estamos exentos a este definido proceso. Todo empieza en la etapa de 20 a los 30 años, cuando la Hormona del crecimiento disminuye en un 14 o 15%. Y en …
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) declines with age in every animal species. In humans, after the age of 20-30 HGH levels decline 14-15% every 10 years; by the age of 60 HGH is usually less than half what it was at 25. At 20 our pituitary produces about 500mg a day, at 40 only 200 mg/day, …
Low serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) may correlate with Alzheimer’s Disease, in men. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) are involved in longevity and some evidence suggests their benefits in cognition – particularly Alzheimer’s Disease, where experimental studies have shown that …
In both healthy adults and those with mild cognitive impairment, daily injections of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) improved cognition, including executive function. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) exert potent effects on brain function, but their levels decrease with advancing age. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is key to …
Among adults diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency, a three-year long HGH replacement regimen markedly reduced total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. Adult growth hormone deficiency is a defined syndrome marked by an adverse lipids profile, changes in body fat distribution, and premature atherosclerosis, At the 92 Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society (ENDO 2010), British researchers …
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) releases new medical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of growth hormone deficiency. While growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy has proven useful for children and adults with scientifically confirmed growth hormone deficiency, approximately 30% of human growth hormone (HGH) prescriptions in the United States are utilized for adult replacement …
By Dr. Sangeeta Pati FACOG. Logic dictates that human identical, bio-identical products are the only acceptable products when we are restoring hormones or nutrients. Why use a product that acts like the real thing when you can get the real thing? Oprah’s recent show about hormone replacement therapy brings to the forefront of discussion the …
By Rich Hurd A recent study has found that a daily dose of the growth hormone secretagogue MK-677 can help elderly people retain, and even increase, their muscle mass. Professor Michael Thorner and colleagues at the University of Virginia conducted a study of 65 healthy seniors aged between 60 and 81. Participants were randomly assigned …

By Bill Freeman DESCRIPTION:Sermorelin acetate is the acetate salt of an amidated synthetic 29-amino acid peptide (GRF 1-29 NH 2 ) that corresponds to the amino-terminal segment of the naturally occurring human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH or GRF) consisting of 44 amino acid residues. The structural formula for sermorelin acetate is: The free base of …
