During youth all the body's hormones are abundant.
Hormones are so important to the body's health and well being because they repair the body and regulate the many different bodily functions.
When hormone levels drop the body's ability to repair and regulate itself decreases. Since the various hormones work together, a drop in the amount of one hormone may also cause a drop in other hormones.
As stated earlier, when we are young, our hormone levels tend to be high, accounting for, among other things, menstruation in women and high libido in both sexes. As we age, the body produces lower levels of hormones, which can have disastrous effects on our functioning.
For instance, human growth hormone, which plays a major role in forming muscle mass drops dramatically as we get older. For this reason, the ratio of fat in our body increases and the ratio of lean muscle decreases.
The Decline of Human Growth Hormone as Age Progresses
As we age, the pituitary gland releases less and less growth hormone into the bloodstream. The chart above shows the usual decrease of HGH in the body as we age.
Measuring the Amount of HGH in the Body
Once the pituitary gland releases its squirts of growth hormone into the bloodstream it is there only for a couple of minutes. The liver takes in the HGH and converts it into growth factors, particularly the important growth factor called IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1).
Measuring an actual HGH level is very time consuming and very involved due to the very short time HGH remains in the bloodstream. For this reason an IGF-1 level is commonly used to determine the amount of growth hormone in the body. IGF-1 is more stable in the blood longer and so can be measured randomly.
***If one does not have enough HGH being released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland the IGF-1 level will be low.
Let ProBlen Pharmacy Assist You in Restoring your IGF-1 level!
ProBlen Pharmacy Human Growth Hormone products safely and gently stimulate the pituitary gland to release more human growth hormone into the bloodstream.
Many HGH products claim to be best, but independent randomized double-blind placebo IGF-1 clinical studies showed ProBlen Pharmacy HGH to be most effective at increasing IGF-1 levels.
ProBLEN HGH raised the IGF-1 level an average 160.6% in only 5 months
No other product has raised IGF-1 levels higher!
