Growth Potential

RAISING HGH LEVELS NATURALLY CAN KEEP YOU STRONG AND LEAN LONG-TERM.

  • For as long as man has wanted a better body he has been looking for a wonderdrug that’ll give it to him.

Of course, there’s no substitute for hard work and consistency when it comes to building muscle and losing fat. But the idea of a potent elixir that can help speed the process isn’t just a pipe dream either. The human growth hormone, or HGH, has the potential to pave the way for a younger, stronger, and healthier body. And best of all, your body’s already making it. Learn to boost your levels naturally and safely, and you can defy the aging process indefinitely.

HOW HGH WORKS

  • HGH is made from amino acids and secreted by the pituitary gland; the control centre for most hormone production which lies at the base of the brain. HGH is released in short bursts every three to five hours and dissipates rapidly. The highest levels occur about an hour after falling asleep. Its peak secretion rate is during puberty, increasing muscle mass and bone density. This happens mainly when HGH stimulates the release of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone that’s themain driver of tissuegrowth. By itself, growth hormone helps get more protein into your muscles increasing growth and grabbing fat from your reserves and putting it into the bloodstream to be burned for energy. Other benefits includedeeper sleep, strongerbones, and increasedsex drive.
