Hello to new strenddit fam! Wanted to share with all my new HGH guide. Today will be the 1st part! Hope you enjoy!
This guide aims to provide you with a foundational understanding of human growth hormone (HGH) and its intelligent application in bodybuilding. While it doesn't cover every detail, it offers enough insight to help you design your own cycle. I’m sharing this from the perspective of someone with ten years of personal experience using HGH, including both self-experimentation and performance as an athlete.
Human Growth Hormone, also known as somatotropin (or rHGH), is produced by the pituitary gland and consists of a 191-amino acid chain. In youth, HGH is crucial for the proper development of bones, muscles, and tissues. A deficiency can lead to stunted growth, while excess can cause abnormal growth conditions.
As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, starting in our 30s. By the time we reach our 60s, daily HGH secretion may drop to just 10% of peak levels.
This decrease is linked to several signs of aging, such as:
• Increased body fat
• Decreased muscle mass
• Bad skin quality
• Reduced bone density
• Cognitive decline
• Decreased libido
• Poor overall well-being
• Sleep disturbances
• Feelings of depression and fatigue
Supplemental HGH can potentially mitigate these issues, often referred to as "the fountain of youth" due to its restorative benefits.
How is HGH Released in the Body?
HGH is secreted in pulses, mainly during sleep and following high-intensity exercise. Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates its release, while somatostatin inhibits it. Additionally, ghrelin, produced in the stomach, plays a role in stimulating HGH release.
Once released, HGH acts quickly, typically within 30 minutes, prompting the liver and other tissues to secrete Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), which is instrumental in muscle growth and fat metabolism.
Mechanism of Action
HGH has both direct and indirect effects. It binds to receptors on fat and muscle cells, promoting fat breakdown and supporting muscle protein synthesis. Indirectly, through IGF-1, it stimulates the growth of bone and muscle tissues.
HGH also influences other hormones, such as insulin, which can lead to altered glucose metabolism. Users should be aware of potential changes in insulin sensitivity and consider monitoring their metabolic response.
Conclusion and Call to Share Experiences
This overview highlights the potential of HGH as a tool for enhancing muscle growth and overall health. However, individual responses can vary significantly. I encourage others to share their experiences with HGH—what has worked for you, any challenges faced, and insights gained along the way? Your stories can provide valuable information to those considering its use.
Thanks for reading! The next part is coming!
