Science gave the key of aging: decreased production of growth hormone after age 30. With this discovery, the formula to stop and even reverse the effects of age on the body was a matter of time as was necessary to produce this hormone in the laboratory so that its use would overcrowded.
Today, growth hormone synthesized, structurally identical to that produced naturally by the body, is already a reality and its benefits have been amply demonstrated. Even in Chile is possible to undergo replacement therapy and observe it undergoing dramatic changes in muscle mass, bones, skin, hair, internal organs, lipid profile, and even intellectual capacity.
In Chile, Dr Maria Luisa Zura specialist at the University of Chile and member of the American Endocrine Society, explains that people who seek this treatment do so for reasons that go beyond reducing carvings, fresher looking skin or other aspects rather external. “They want to grow old with an optimal quality of life, extend their productive life, sexual performance, avoidance of age-related diseases or overweight. These benefits, which have to do with the quality of life of people, are much more important than the aesthetic issue, “says Dr. Zura, who also believes that as there is more awareness of the benefits of this treatment and that studies be disseminated, replacement therapy in growth hormone will also be used to treat menopause, andropause, deterioration of intellectual functions and even autoimmune diseases such as HIV, since “it has shown its effect as immune system booster. ”
The international scientific community has been exhaustively demonstrated that as the years pass, many of the most important hormones that the GenFx body produces high levels of youth, decrease dramatically over the years. In the case of growth hormone, although the growth stops adolescence itself, this is secreted throughout life, it is necessary for the formation of new materials to replace worn-out structures. After 30 years, however, low growth hormone to 14% every decade and is completely discharged at 80 years or so.
Who needs treatment?
The lack of growth hormone is readily detectable by its main symptoms are fatigue, decreased muscle mass and strength, decreased physical capacity and performance, anxiety, loss of sleep, decreased memory, increased weight and cardiovascular risk.
Everyone over 40 years of age, then, can be benefited by the effects of growth hormone, even if you have diabetes, obesity or sarcopenia (muscle loss associated with age). Obviously, those who do suffer from these diseases or related to the deterioration of internal organs are perfect candidates for treatment, which must be performed by a qualified and an injectable solution. This is because when growth hormone protein, when given orally is eliminated through the digestive system and does not produce the desired effects.
Sarcopenia and the deterioration of brain function is a relatively neglected as a concern of geriatrics, is taking important now that he has discovered that along with decreased muscle mass due to age, it also reduces the number of neurons. It is unclear whether the decrease in neurons causes muscle wasting or vice versa. What is certain is that sarcopenia and intellectual impairment are treatable with the application of growth hormone, which is seen as one of the major findings of anti-aging.
Another use of growth hormone is as a generator of collagen. Women have less collagen than men and this decreases by 1% per year. Growth hormone triggers the production of collagen, which affects both the skin and bone density, protecting both the appearance of wrinkles and osteoporosis. The relationship between skin collagen and bone density is such that one could predict the condition of the bones with a test to check levels of collagen in the skin. Hormone replacement therapy with growth hormone appears to be most effective both to recover the collagen in the skin and bone density.
