Youth is wasted on the young, as the saying goes. Youth, which is virtually worshipped in the Western world, is the most volatile of treasures. Money over time will accrue in value, but youth can not but fade.

For many, the vitality of youth is, or will soon become, a bittersweet memory. For many others who are still in the ripe bloom of youthful vigor, there is the desire to maintain this blissful state as long as possible.

Medical and cosmetic science has searched far and wide for the fabled fountain of youth, a mystic potion that will restore the old and preserve the young. But alas, no such fountain has been found.

But many anti aging experts believe that until it is found, a next best thing has been discovered in the form of Human Growth Hormone.

Human Growth Hormone, or HGH , is a part of the body’s normal chemical makeup. A secretion of the pituitary gland, HGH was first isolated in the 1950’s, where initial tests indicated that it was the primary hormone used to control the growth process in children.

Further studies showed that high levels of this hormone were still present in the body throughout the teen age years, leveling off for most people in the early twenties, and decreasing year by year as we progress into middle age.

This seemed natural. Since the growing years are now past, the need for HGH would be greatly diminished. But a closer examination of the facts revealed a startling correlation. As the levels of HGH begin to drop, other symptoms begin to appear.

Tough skin given to wrinkles.
Lowered energy and a decrease in sex drive.
Difficulty controlling and losing weight.
A loss of muscle mass and bone density.

All signs of the advance of age.

Immediately, the connection was made. HGH loss might be the cause of old age. And if so, then restoring HGH levels could be the cure.

Perhaps the fountain of youth existed after all.

But there were a few problems with this idea.
Initially people began to experiment with HGH injections in an attempt to compensate for the low levels produced by our aging bodies.

At first, cadavers were the only source of Human Growth Hormone , which presented several logistical, ethical and health issues. Fortunately, the heavy demand for a viable substitute quickly lead to the production of synthetic HGH.

Even so, this extremely complex chemical is difficult to manufacture and comes at a very high price. Some users of synthetic HGH injections can pay $10,000 per year or more for their supply.

It also carries a number of health risks, including increased chance of HGH side effects problems including diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, water retention and some bone and joint deformities.

Fortunately for most, another path to increased HGH levels exists in the form of HGH supplements or releasers. These formulations do not contain HGH itself, but instead encourage the body to produce more HGH naturally. This technique is not only less expensive, but does not carry with it the same risks as the injections.

But is either really the fountain of youth?
No. HGH alone will not allow you to recapture your lost youth. You will still need to eat right, exercise prudently and take care of your skin, just as you had to when you were young. Studies show, however, that it will help make your efforts pay off.
