Growth hormone is your body’s repair and regenerative messenger. As growth hormone levels decline, your body’s ability to restore and regenerate itself also declines. Your body just isn’t able to repair and regrow like it did when you were in your 20s.
By the time you are in your 50s, growth hormone release has seriously declined and there is usually a GH deficiency. There is less growth hormone released throughout the day and both women and men experience this decline. This is where growth hormone-stimulating peptide therapy (synthetic HGH) helps.
HGH Peptides* are proteins that stimulate the body’s natural ability to produce endogenous (the body’s own natural) growth hormones. For some individuals, HGH Peptides* therapy can be beneficial for tissue and bone regeneration, sleep enhancement, and body fat control.
Human growth hormone (HGH) is a hormone that’s naturally produced in the pituitary gland. It plays a vital role in the growth of every cell in the human body as well as cell regeneration, healthy tissue maintenance, and peak body functioning.
The pituitary gland releases the growth hormone in bursts every three to five hours. The hypothalamus in the brain regulates the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. For the pituitary gland to release more growth hormones, the hypothalamus must release the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). The GHRH, in turn, signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.
Some people lack normal levels of HGH for one reason or another. Also as we age, the pituitary gland does not produce as much HGH as it used to, and our levels naturally decline. In women, HGH levels start to decline in the early 20s. In men, it is usually closer to age 35. In middle age, HGH levels are usually less than half of what they were in a person’s early 20s.
As our HGH levels decrease, we start to notice negative effects like weight gain, muscle loss, decreased energy levels, reduced strength and stamina, low libido or sexual dysfunction, poor sleep, and aging skin. While some of this is natural, there is something you can do to combat these negative effects.
Peptide therapy has a “loading” period of 3-6 months before full effects are noticed. The benefits of peptide therapy start within the first few weeks, and they increase synergistically with continued therapy. Initially, peptide injections are administered more frequently. Once levels become optimal and the benefits are achieved, peptide therapy injection frequencies can be decreased, and transitioning to a maintenance protocol is possible.
Peptide does more than help with growth hormone deficiencies. They offer a wide range of benefits for overall health and appearance. Peptides can:
If you are having difficulty concentrating, feeling drained and out of energy, looking older than you like, or you are losing muscle mass and finding muscle more difficult to maintain, you may be experiencing some symptoms of menopause or andropause (known as male menopause).
Growth Hormone Stimulating Peptide Therapy (Sermorelin-Ipamorelin-CJC1295) could be the right choice to restore you to your more youthful self. Growth hormone-stimulating peptide therapy is also an excellent complement to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy or testosterone therapy. With or without other treatments, growth hormone stimulating peptide therapy boosts growth hormone production to give you the growth hormone production you need to feel better and fight aging.
