Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Growth is an inherent property of a living organism. Growth is one of the most sensitive indicators of the health of the child. A child normally grows only in full nutrition, favorable psycho-emotional environment, a normal hormonal balance and the absence of chronic diseases. One of the causes of stunting a child may be the lack of production in the body of the growth hormone.

The highest rate of growth is during fetal development, but growth in this period occurs without the participation of growth hormone. The child grows in the womb under the influence of the thyroid gland. And in subsequent years, almost up to 3 years of age, the thyroid gland actively influences the growth of the child. During these years growth hormone remains neutral - it does not producing by the body.

Therefore, a healthy thyroid gland in women during childbearing very strong effects on fetal development and further growth. Pregnant women should be screened by an endocrinologist and be sure to check the status of thyroid.

For 2,5-3-years of age thyroid ceases to play a significant role, and a powerful stimulator of growth - growth hormone - includes in the work. Therefore, if the child has ceased to grow after three years, this may be to blame for the growth hormone; but if a delay occurred before the age of three - reason for this is certainly another. At different periods of development, the child grows differently. There are anthropometric tables, which present rate of growth for each age.

Human growth hormone produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary. The pituitary produces all tropic hormones, ie, the hormones that stimulate the work of the peripheral endocrine glands. Therefore, having problem of growth in children older than 3 years of age, diagnosis should begin with a survey of the central nervous system - the X-ray pictures of the brain, computed tomography. There are quite a lot of cases, when this survey revealed a tumor in the brain - currently asymptomatic, because most often it is an adenoma. However, these tumors eventually grow and can affect the vital centers of the brain.

However, the most common cause of stunting in children is a family, that is associated with low growth of parents. This is a large gap, for example, more than 3-5 inches in the child at school entry. If growth hormone production is insufficient in this case, its excretion can be stimulated. If with a considerable lag in the , excretion of growth hormone is normal, it is a painful, somatogenic stunted growth. Therefore, with delay in growth is necessary survey for the presence of growth hormone.

Growth hormone during the day is allocated unevenly. The worst child grows up in a dream, especially in the first phase of sleep. Therefore, the growth hormone is determined in the first phase of sleep. A survey is conducted in the hospital, and the growth hormone is determined in the first phase of sleep and the morning on an empty stomach. If growth hormone in the first phase underfunded, growth can be accelerated if to stimulate the release of the growth hormone. To verify this, spend an additional test with drugs that stimulate excretion of growth hormone.

Most insulin is injected for this purpose. But this test, although still used, is unsafe, because there are children with a high sensitivity to insulin. More accessible and safe is a test with the amino acid arginine. Or, in the absence of pure arginine, are used medications that have a similar effect of arginine - clonidine and clonidine (which also requires the monitoring of the child state in the first 2 hours of sleep).

Curve of growth hormone during sleep allows the diagnosis: whether the delay in the growth is a random, or is it a manifestation of the disease - and assign treatment. If growth hormone has a low basal level and not increase after stimulation in the first phase of sleep, such children have a painful rejection and should be treated only by injections of growth hormone.

Stunting may also be attributed to resistance to growth hormone. This resistance is caused by lack of insulin-active growth factors - somatomedins. Somatomedins allocated in the liver and mediate the impact of growth hormone on the cells. Their absence may be due to abnormalities in liver enzyme system. This is the worst case, since the growth in this case is impossible - such children are Lilliputians.

In case of insufficient production of growth hormone, its excretion may be increased by the drug Arginine Plus, containing pure arginine, obtained from a natural source. Arginine is essential (vital) amino acid, so it can be taken daily, even 365 days a year. In the body, arginine is converted to an amino acid ornithine, which stimulates the production of somatomedin. Arginine is also a powerful immune stimulator, it affects the development of sexual sphere, especially in boys; in the body, it also performs a very important function of the controller of nitric oxide cycle.

Nitric oxide is required for the cardiovascular system, it provides the tone of vessels, reduces blood viscosity. Therefore, in many countries, arginine is used to help with acute attacks of stenocardia, hypertensive crisis, myocardial infarction, is used in the treatment of tumors. Arginine also reduces blood cholesterol levels and is very effective hepatoprotector (liver protector).

To accelerate the growth, arginine should be taken at bedtime (30-40 minutes before sleeping). Children generally should go to bed no later than 9-10 pm, then the first phase of sleep takes its full. If your child sit up late and goes to bed after midnight, the time of growth hormone producing is declining, and this can be the cause of short shortness, too. Arginine should be taken on an empty stomach - 1,5-2 hours after mealtime. Prolonged intake of arginine gives excellent results, especially in cases of parents short stature. As already noted, restrictions on the duration of the course of arginine does not exist.

In the stunted parents, children usually are also undersized. If both parents have below-average growth, the growth in boys is often even smaller than the fathers, and girls grow even below the mothers. There are formulas for calculating the growth of the child based on the growth of the parents. The practice of arginine in the event of a family shortness has shown that children far outstrip their parents.

Together with arginine is also recommended to use a multivitamin and mineral chelate complexes, which are sources of "building materials" for the growing organism. Multivitamin Full Spectrum Together with arginine eliminates the delay of pubertal development in boys and girls alike. Chelate calcium from the drugs Strong Bones or Strong Bones Plus strengthens bones and eliminates the growth defects of the joints.

Even more effective is the drug Natural HGH Support which stimulates production the body's own growth hormone. If the Arginine Plus is a natural source of pure arginine for multiple applications, then HGH Support is target supplement oriented primarily to accelerate growth. Its composition, except arginine, includes additional ornithine and also three amino acids, as well as several other natural ingredients, acting synergistically. This composition helps not only to accelerate growth, but also right to form a shape, ensures proper development of muscle tissue and helps dispose of excess fat. Receiving HGH Support can also add multivitamins and mineral supplements.

Natural HGH Support is ideal for athletes wishing to increase muscle mass without the use of anabolic steroids, as it enhances the synthesis of protein. It can be using by the elderly also. In the old age, generation of growth hormone in the body is sharply reduced, which leads to a decrease in muscle mass, especially if you're not doing physical activity. Increased production of growth hormone in old age may prevent the relaxation of muscles.

Dietary supplement Natural HGH Support supports the flow of vital processes in the body naturally, without gross interference in the work of the endocrine system.
