The circulating half-life of hGH is relatively short, 20-30 minutes, (while its biological half-life is much longer, 9-17 hours, due to its indirect effects). Precisely this short half-life makes it beneficial to dose twice during "on" days. As mentioned earlier, alternating days allows the receptors to recover and become more responsive. Children who received HGH on alternate days grew significantly more than those who received it every day.
Here are a couple of interesting extensionist articles I found on HGH with good info:
The Life Extension Manual - Human Growth Hormone
Just a few of the many benefits:
● Increases muscle
● Decreases fat
● Increases skin thickness
● Smoothes out skin wrinkles
● Improves exercise tolerance
● Reverses heart failure
● Improves pulmonary function in people with chronic lung disorders
● Increases restorative REM sleep
● Increases energy and endurance
● Protects mental function and appears to help in the treatment of neurological and mental disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and multiple sclerosis
● Enhances mental alertness and memory
● Increases the size of the thymus, the body's principal immune system gland
● Increases natural killer cell lymphocyte activity, a measure of immune system function
● Greatly increases longevity in animal studies
● Causes weight gain in frail elderly
● Causes some regrowth and regeneration of organs (liver, kidneys, and spleen) that have shrunk with age
● Normalizes serum cholesterol levels
● Causes hair and nails to improve in strength and appearance
● Speeds healing after surgery and trauma
● Greatly improves the quality of life in AIDS patients
Why does the government criminalize the use of a substance which
IMPROVES health? It is even a federal crime for doctors to prescribe HGH for any other an a couple of very specific conditions.
It is a crime for doctors to prescribe a product which is known to improve the health of their patients! How crazy is that?
