It seems that since the dawn of time, humans have been on the hunt for the magic elixir to turn the hands of time: the fountain of youth to return us to our younger years when our bodies functioned and looked their best, a time when sickness meant a quick healing process, and when losing weight and gaining muscle didn’t require years of careful dieting and controlled exercise. While there is no such magical potion to reverse the aging process of our bodies, medical improvements have helped us to achieve results that have made anti-aging properties achievable as a means to bring back confidence, luster, and youth in our lives. What’s the medical improvement, you ask? HGH.
What is HGH and Why Does it Help Anti Aging?
HGH, otherwise known as Human Growth Hormones (sometimes just referred to as “GH” or Growth Hormone, as seen as naturally occurring in the human body), is a hormone that is secreted by the pea-sized pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Combined with other hormones such as IGF-1 (insulin growth factor 1), these hormones are responsible for early bodily development in youth and maintaining tissues and organs throughout a person’s life. GH stimulates metabolic processes in our cells, which help activate metabolism and produce cartilage cells. Thus, GH plays a part in bone and organ growth and muscle protein synthesis.
That being said, as we approach the middle ages of our life, the amount of hormone that is produced naturally by the pituitary gland begins to decrease. This can lead to reduced muscle and bone mass and cell rejuvenation, a critical component of maintaining a youthful body. Thus, HGH injection therapy helps supply the body with the hormones it needs to continue cell rejuvenation for tissues and organs. HGH can help to aid in the anti-aging process of reversing graying hair, thickening hair and lashes, tightening skin, accelerating wound healing, increasing stamina, sharpening vision, improving cognition, improving sleep quality, enhancing mood, and much more.
Treatment Options for Growth Hormone
The most common form of HGH treatment is by injection of the hormone, also called somatotropin. A doctor or responsible adult normally administers these injections in cases of self-administering or issuing to children with growth deficiencies. Depending on your consultation with a doctor, HGH injections may need to be taken every day or less frequently.
Typically, you’ll need to schedule appointments with your doctor to monitor the process of the therapy every 4-8 weeks. Your doctor will need to monitor your cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, and bone density periodically to ensure they are all at healthy levels. While you are undergoing therapy, you’ll also want to ensure that you’re getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting needed exercise, all critical components of the treatment plan. Your doctor will help you to incorporate the injection treatment into your schedule to maintain a healthy lifestyle which is necessary for the medicine to work successfully.
GHRH vs. HGH
While the injection of HGH may seem like a simple way to introduce the hormones our bodies need for cell rejuvenation and younger-looking and feeling bodies, it is a little more complicated than that. Since HGH is lab-created, it isn’t the same as the hormones that are naturally present in our bodies. Thus, introducing such hormones in large quantities over time is less advantageous than the naturally occurring growth hormone (GH) that steadily declines over time; however, it isn’t impossible to recreate the exact hormones our bodies create. To stimulate the natural production of GH by the pituitary gland, a peptide called Sermorelin can be introduced into the body that works as a Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH).
GHRH are hormones that help stimulate the body to produce more of a hormone naturally instead of the outside introduction of the hormone. Rather than increasing the presence of GH in your blood through injections of HGH, your body is persuaded to naturally increase the production of GH in your blood, which has slowed through aging over time. Emulating a natural process rather than introducing the influence of outside hormones is almost always advantageous as your body will be more likely to respond positively to a hormone that it produces naturally as opposed to produced by an external source.
Sermorelin
As previously discussed, Sermorelin is a peptide and GHRH that helps the body naturally produce more of a hormone, in this case, GH, that is paid less and less in our body over time. Peptides are short-chain amino acids that are naturally produced in our bodies. These amino acids are essential to the structure of the protein, which is designed to increase the functionality of specific body functions. GHRH peptides, therefore, bind to and tell already present cells in the body what to do, which can both replace and mimic the process of naturally occurring peptides. This ‘rewriting’ of body chemistry can promote bodily restoration and rejuvenation.
GH decrease can lead to many telltale signs of aging, such as the inability to decrease body fat, increase muscle mass, lack of appetite, sleep dysfunction, and more. Some studies suggest a decrease of GH by up to 14% each decade as we age, while others indicate a reduction of up to 50% in GH levels every seven years. While HGH can potentially replace the lost levels of GH, Sermorelin can help replace groups of GH for longer periods without the need for continued injection of replacement since the body is naturally producing the hormone.
Ipamorelin
As another form of peptide that can help guide the anti-aging process of the body and cells, Ipamorelin is composed of 5 amino acids and acts similar to Sermorelin with regard to the fact that it promotes the natural increase of hormone production rather than an injection of a hormone itself. Thus, the body is encouraged to naturally produce the desired growth hormone at higher levels that naturally fall short as the body ages. Ipamorelin is quite selective in the chemicals and other hormones that it chooses to stimulate increased production of. More specifically Ipamorelin can help to increase bone density, increase body fat loss, and increase muscle mass.
Sermorelin vs. Ipamorelin
Both Sermorelin and Ipamorelin have similar effects on the body: increasing bone density, increasing body fat loss, and increasing muscle mass by stimulating the body to produce increased amounts of naturally produced hormones. All these effects have profound effects on the process by which our bodies age. However, one of the biggest differences between the two peptides is an enzyme involved with the use of Ipamorelin called Ghrelin.
Ghrelin has significant regulatory effects on your metabolism, which can increase or decrease levels of hunger, inhibit the breakdown of fat, and increase the release of GH. Ipamorelin binds to the receptors of Ghrelin on the pituitary gland in the brain, which acts to “switch” them on in the same way that Ghrelin would naturally. Thus, the hormones Ipamorelin stimulates are separate from those that Sermorelin actives, even though both work synergistically to have a similar, if not the same, effect on the rest of the body’s hormones.
Another major difference between the two is the potential side effects, neither of which has significant side effects that outway the benefit of using such treatments. Sermorelin can cause flushing, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and redness or swelling around the injection site for some adults. Ipamorelin has known similar side effects, with nausea and headaches topping the list; however, Ipamorelin is one of the safest and most effective treatments available. That being said, when used under the prescription of a qualified medical practitioner, these peptides are known to be extremely safe with no side effects.
Benefits of HGH Therapy
Participation in HGH therapy helps your body to repair itself from the core. Healthy levels of GH production increase the synthesis of protein that helps to strengthen bone and tissue at the status of your cells. The additional benefit is helping to enhance your body’s immune system. This can help you to fight against disease and the adverse effects of aging that would normally compromise your body’s ability to fight off foreign and unwanted actors. HGH therapy not only helps prevent ailments and diseases that accompany old age through cell preparation and physical healing, but it can also help act as a preventative mechanism to ensure you have a healthy, happy, long life ahead of you.
Data suggests when administered properly that, long-term HGH therapy lasting at least six months has the potential to significantly improve your skin, libido, energy levels, bones, cardiac efficiency, memory, eyesight, hearing, cholesterol, muscles, body-fat percentage, hip-to-waist ratio, healing ability, immunity, overall organ function, life expectancy, and overall quality of life. Typical Western medicine solutions focus on masking symptoms of bodily ailments through prescribed medications that cover up rather than eliminate root problems within the body. HGH therapy can potentially target the root hormonal cause of bodily diseases, leading to long-term improvements and preventative care for inevitable physical decline as we age.
More specific improvements of HGH injection therapy will include a return to the metabolic rates your body would have seen in your youth, stronger bones with better healing even after old fractures, a change in the way your body retains water leading to more plush and supple skin, and increased self-esteem and overall increased mood with increased messengers within the brain. Additionally, patients may see increased healing time for bodily wounds and quicker bounce-back time after exercising or training.
While benefits may take some time to become readily apparent, through a dedicated subscription to the process, the longer the therapy lasts, the more results you will see. For example, in the first month, you may notice increased energy, deeper sleep with intensified REM periods, improved stamina, and a happier, more content state of mind. Starting month two, you might see changes, including the beginning stages of belly fat depletion, improved metabolism, and muscle tone, and improved skin, hair, and nails. An increased mental focus will normally mark month three, better flexibility and joint health, and increased sex drive.
Starting month four, you’ll notice continued weight loss due to metabolic rates closer to where you were in your 20s. You’ll also begin to see improved muscle mass. By month five, belly fat will continue to disappear, replaced with wrinkle-free skin, lean muscle mass, and much fuller and healthier hair. By the time you reach month six, you will see a noticeable improvement in all areas of your body, including physique, mental clarity, and increased vitality.
How to Access HGH Therapy
Since HGH therapy is associated with anti-aging, anti-aging clinics are the go-to entities for this type of hormone treatment. While plenty of online sources or “clinics” will provide you with hormones, it’s important to ensure your clinic is reputable, as there is no guarantee that the hormones you receive will be what they are advertised as, if they are anything at all. Additionally, many clinics may offer quotes before their doctors review your medical situation. This could be risky not because they aren’t able to access the medications you need or require but because it may be more important to them to have you as a paying client than it is for them to ensure they are making the best choice for you and your health. While this treatment doesn’t present any significant health risks, there are always risks present with any medical treatment when individuals have certain specific pre-existing medical conditions. AAI Rejuvenation Clinic believes in upholding integrity and transparency in its client relationships.
