Natural Amino Acid hGH Releaser Therapy
For some years now, scientists have been exploring the ability of high natural hGH Releaser doses of nutrients to restore Human Growth Hormone to younger levels. It has been shown that while hGH is adequately produced by the aging pituitary, 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 hGH from the pituitary in many people.

As we grow older, we suffer major declines in the hormones we need to stay healthy. One of the most important is growth hormone (hGH) - often called human growth hormone therapy (hGH) to distinguish it from animal-derived products.

The B vitamin, niacin and the following amino acids have also shown to be a Natural Human Growth Hormone Releaser
- L-arginine

- L-lysine

- L-glutamine

- L-ornithine

- glycine

Natural Human 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. According to Dr. Barbara Brewitt, noted hGH/HIV researcher and chief scientific officer for Biomed Comm Inc. in Seattle, WA, Hormone-Therapy growth hormone therapies stimulate production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) which helps to optimize communication between the immune, nervous, and hormonal systems.

Life Extension offers a variety of hGH releaser formulas. There are special formulas for day and night consumption, a comprehensive formula that includes every nutrient that has been shown to promote hGH release discussed in the book, Grow Young with hGH, and single nutrients such as L-glutamine, L-arginine, and L-ornithine which have been shown to elevate hGH levels.

Natural hGH release may be improved if 1 to 3 grams of choline and up to 2 grams of pantothenic acid are taken at the same time as amino acid releasers.

The product Choline Cooler described in the Durk & Sandy Products section of this Directory contains both choline and pantothenic acid and is appropriate for this purpose.

Caution:
- Because growth hormone depletes potassium and opposes the actions of insulin, diabetics and borderline diabetics should use hGH releasers with care. L-Arginine and

- L-ornithine may improve or worsen a diabetic condition.
Persons who have not completed their bone growth (children and teenagers) and pregnant or lactating Women should not use hGH releasers except under a physician’s supervision.

- L-Arginine and L-ornithine sometimes reactivate latent herpes virus infections. Therefore, persons who have ever had ocular or brain herpes should not use these products.

- Those with certain psychoses may experience worsened symptoms if they take L-arginine or L-ornithine supplements.

hGH Releaser Formulas
The principle behind the use of multiple growth hormone releaser compounds at the same time is called “stacking.” The theory behind this principle is that since many of these compounds operate to stimulate hGH 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 hGH releasing amino acid, L-ornithine as well as the milder hGH releasing amino acid L-Tyrosine, which also produces a stimulating effect. This combination may be ideal to promote hGH release during exercise.

Dosage and use
The suggested dosages for healthy, adult men and nonpregnant, nonlactating Women are:

Men .........WeihGHt lbs .......# Capsules
......................100-140 ................6
......................140-200 ................9
......................over 200 ...............12

Women .....WeihGHt lbs .....# Capsules
....................under 120 ..............3
......................120-180 ..............6
......................over 180 ..............9

- hGH release is greater when releasers are taken on an empty stomach before exercise or bedtime.

- Start with about 25% of your target quantity and increase it gradually over a period of a few days to minimize the occurrence of minor side effects such as nausea.

- hGH release may be improved if 1 to 3 grams of choline and 1/2 to 2 grams of pantothenic acid are taken at the same time.

Caution:
- Cancer patients should avoid L-Tyrosine.

- Supplemental use of L-Tyrosine may raise or normalize blood pressure.

- Insomnia may occur from over-stimulation if taken too close to bedtime.
