Special
Blend of Amino Acids:
Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins, and have
been shown to increase the HGH in both younger and older
people.
Certified Natural HGH stacks the amino acids in a proprietary ratio and
molecular weight with the other ingredients listed to maximize
the release of your body's own natural Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
There are 22 known amino
acids. Of these, 8 are considered Essential Amino Acids,
because the body cannot produce them on its own -- they must
be obtained from the foods we eat. These essential amino acids
are:

L-Lysine:
An essential amino acid which cannot be produced by the body.
It helps ensure adequate absorption of calcium and thus affects
collagen and bone formation, cartilage and connective tissues,
height
and genital function. Lysine strengthens circulation and helps the immune
system manufacture antibodies. It also helps control the
body's acid / alkaline balance, influences the pineal and
mammary glands and plays a role in gall bladder function. It is
necessary for all amino acid assimilation and assists in the
storage of fats.
Effects on HGH: A 1981
study by an Italian Researcher- A Isidori, M.D., and his
associates at the University of Rome, found that the
combination of 1,200 milligrams of lysine and 1,200 milligrams
of arginine pyroglutamate in fifteen male volunteers between
the ages of fifteen and twenty was ten times more effective
than taking arginine alone. According to the researchers,
"we could demonstrate that the association of the two
Amino acids does result in the release of biologically active
hormone able to affect peripheral cellular receptors and thus
cell growth in general. " The fact that lysine and
arginine together were active in oral form, say the
researchers, "is clearly of considerable importance in
clinical and diagnostic practice. where it offers a more
practical and physiological approach. "
L
Arginine:
An essential amino acid which is found abundantly in
protamines and histones, which are proteins associated with
nucleic acids. L-arginine is used by the immune system to help
regulate the activity of the thymus gland, which is
responsible for manufacturing of what are called T
Lymphocytes. (These are the T-cells which form the basis of the immune system). In the pancreas it
is used to release insulin. It is important in liver health
and assists in neutralizing ammonia in the liver. It is also
involved in the production of skin and connective tissue,
making it important for the healing and repair of soft tissue,
the formation of collagen and in the building of new bone and
tendons. It is helpful with weight control since it
facilitates the increase of muscle mass, while reducing body
fat. L-Arginine also creates nitric oxide in the human body
(nitric oxide is one of the most essential substances which
influence sexual function in both men and women), and helps to
improve circulation.
L-Arginine helps to
improve exercise performance, because it is one of the main
ingredients, along with glycine that the liver uses to make
creatine. Supplements of creatine monohydrate are very popular
in the bodybuilding community because they raise the level of
high-energy creatine phosphates within the muscle and nerve
cells needed for high-intensity, short -duration exercises. So
with arginine you get higher growth hormone levels and the raw
material for increasing your energy. Positive claims for
arginine included increasing fat burning and building muscle
tissue probably through the stimulation of growth hormone,
increasing the weight and activity of the thymus gland,
boosting immunity, fighting cancer, promoting healing of burns
and other wounds, protecting the liver and detoxifying harmful
substances, and enhancing male fertility (almost all of which
are enhanced by H GH). It also restores sexual function in
impotent men.
Growth Hormone Effects:
Arginine causes the secretion of human growth hormone. In fact a 15
to 30 gram intravenous infusion of arginine is used as a
standard endocrinological test to stimulate the pituitary
gland into
releasing its own natural human growth hormone (HGH).
A study at the
University of Turin, Italy, showed that even though people in
their seventies had lower response than either children or
younger adults to arginine, the nutrient still boosted their
blood levels of HGH to triple the average for their age group.
Arginine appears to
stimulate HGH by blocking the secretion of the growth-hormone
inhibitor somatostatin. It also greatly enhances the effect of
growth hormone-releasing hormone when they are given together.
L
Glutamine:
This is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It is a
conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body may
not be able to synthesize all it needs when it is under
physical stress. L Glutamine is important along with glucose in
supplying the brain with energy. L-Glutamine has been used to
help curb sugar and alcohol cravings, increase mental
alertness, and to nutritionally boost the nervous system. It
also has shown promise in the treatment of senility,
depression and fatigue.
Effects on HGH:
Glutamine is the latest amino acid to generate excitement as an
HGH Releaser thanks to a 1995 study by Thomas C. Welboume of
Louisiana State University of Medicine in Shreveport. Welboume
showed that a surprisingly small oral dose of about 2 grams of
glutamine raised growth hormone levels more than four times
over that of a placebo. Even more exciting, age did not
diminish the response at least in this small study of
volunteers, who ranged from thirty-two to sixty-four years.
Glutamine is the amino
acid that is most used by the body, particularly during times
of stress. The immune system and the gut practically live on
glutamine. If the body does not produce enough glutamine,
muscle loss and immune dysfunction can occur. The gut
atrophies, meaning nutrients of all kinds cannot be absorbed
as well as before.
High
levels of glutamine in the blood translates into greater
health as a 1994 study showed in a survey of thirty-three
people over the age of sixty, those at the top of the scale of
blood glutamine levels had fewer illnesses, lower cholesterol,
lower blood pressure and were closer to their ideal weights
than people at the bottom of the scale in this nutrient. The
low-glutamine subjects had higher rates of arthritis, diabetes
and heart- disease, while those who were high in glutamine
said that they felt great.
L
Glycine:
Glycine is the simplest amino
acid found in the body. Many studies have found that this
amino acid increases HGH in the serum. Glycine has also been
found useful in increasing output in exercise workouts.
Effects on HGH: Two
studies found that amino acid increased HGH in the serum. In
one, 6.75 grams at bedtime caused a three-fold increase, while
a Japanese research team showed that 30 grams raised HGH
levels ten times over baseline in patients who had gastric
surgery. An oral dose of 250 milligrams in normal volunteers
also showed a significant, but less pronounced rise in HGH.
They conclude that "the facts demonstrated that glycine
is one of the stimulatory agents inducing the pituitary glands
to secrete HGH Glycine has also been found useful in
increasing output in exercise workouts.
It may be useful in
dampening hyperactive brain activity that produces spasms. In
one study, 1 gram of glycine a day for six months to one year
significantly reduced spasms in all ten patients with severe
chronic spasticity in the legs, including seven with multiple
sclerosis.
L
Pyroglutamate:
An amino acid naturally found in vegetables, fruits, dairy
products and meat, it is also normally present in large amounts
in the human brain, cerebro-spinal fluid and the blood. Pyroglutamate also been shown to be effective in
alcohol-induced memory deficits, and more recently, in people
afflicted with multi-infarct dementia. In these patients, the
administration of pyroglutamate brought about a significant
increase of attention and an improvement on psychological
tests investigating short-term retrieval, long-term retrieval,
and long-term storage of memory. A statistically significant
improvement was observed also in the consolidation of memory.
Effects on HGH:
Pyroglutamate has also been shown to be effective in
alcohol-induced memory deficits and more recently in people
affected with multi-infarct dementia. In these patients the
administration of pyroglutamate brought about a significant
increase of attention and an improvement on psychological
tests investigating short -term retrieval, long-term retrieval
and long-term storage of memory. A statistically significant
improvement was observed also in the consolidation of memory.
In human subjects, pyroglutamate was compared with a placebo
in a randomized double-blind trial for assessing its efficacy
in treating memory deficits in 40 aged subjects. Twenty
subjects were treated with pyroglutamate and 20 with a placebo
over a period of 60 days. Memory functions were evaluated at
baseline and after 60 days of treatment by means of a battery
made up of six memory tasks. The results show that
pyroglutamate is effective in improving verbal memory
functions in subjects affected by age-related memory decline.
L
Tyrosine:
An amino acid precursor to epinephrine, norepinephrine and
dopamine, three important brain neurotransmitters involved in
mood, mental function and sex drive.
Effects on BGB: Tyrosine
is also used by the thyroid gland for the production of
Thyroxine, a vital hormone involved in regulating growth,
metabolism, skin health and mental state. Clinical studies
indicate that Tyrosine can be helpful in reducing the
irritation, fatigue and depression of PMS sufferers.
Tyrosine is
contraindicated for people taking anti-depressants containing
monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, people with high blood
pressure or skin cancer. Panax
Ginzeng Powder:
Commonly used by athletes for overall body strengthening,
Ginseng fortifies the adrenal gland, and promotes healthy
circulation. It increases the conversion rate of sugars into
the necessary substrates for the formation of fatty acids in
the liver. Ginseng stimulates the central nervous system and
is a quick antidote for fatigue. Soy
Phosphotides Complex:
Constituents of certain amino acids and chromosomes, it is necessary for cell
division and components of amino acids, phosphotides are
phosphorus-containing lipids (liquid fats) that may actually
contribute to overall lipid lowering in the body by binding to
and utilizing them in cell membrane maintenance and damage
prevention of arterial walls. Anterior
Pituitary Peptides and Hypothalamus:
These are natural pharmaceutical grade extractions
prepared specifically to help the body release more natural
growth hormone when combined with the HGH releasing amino
acids. When given as a supplement, raw pituitary extract is
recognized by many as an effective means to help trigger
increased levels of growth hormone output to the body. An
all-natural ingredient derived from sheep, similar in nature
to the Anterior Pituitary Peptides.
Phytosterol
Complex:
Phytosterols are nearly identical to cholesterol in
the body; in fact, they can and do block food-based
cholesterol from entering the system. This means that both
phytosterols and ingested cholesterol are flushed from the
system. The phytosterols have an important physiological role
in the body. It restrains absorption of Gall Steroids,
improves the metabolism of Gall Steroids, and restrains
Biochemical composing of Gall Steroids.
L
Isoleucine:
Isoleucine is an essential amino acid used
in conjunction with L-Leucine and L-Methionine, is necessary
for muscle building as well as muscle recovery after exercise.
It is a member of the aliphatic side-chain amino acid
family that is composed of extremely hydrophobic
bio-chemicals. They are found principally in the interior of
proteins and enzymes. L
Leucine:
L-Leucine is an essential amino acid, and in conjunction with L-Isoleucine
and L-Methionine, plays a key role in the growth and repair of
muscle tissue, and prevents the breakdown of muscle tissue due
to trauma, exercise or stress. It belongs to a family of protein molecules called 'branched-chain
amino acids' (BCAA) - Leucine plays a key role in helping
muscle cells make protein. This is one of the most important
amino acids for hard training body builders.
L
Methionine:
L-Methionine is an essential amino acid containing
sulfur needed for energy production in
the body. Along with L-Isoleucine and L-Leucine, it is vital for muscle growth, repair and breakdown of muscle
tissue due to trauma, exercise or stress. It is
the principle supplier of sulfur which prevents disorders of
the hair, skin and nails. Helps lower cholesterol levels by
increasing the liver's production of lecithin. It also reduces liver
fat and protects the kidneys. It is a natural chelating
agent for heavy metals. It regulates the formation of ammonia
and creates ammonia-free urine which reduces bladder
irritation. Finally it Influences hair follicles and promotes
hair growth.
L
Phenylalanine:
L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid
said to promote a feeling of fullness by stimulating the
release of substance known as cholecystokinin from the wall of
the small intestine. It is used by the brain to produce
Nor-epinephrine, a hormone that
transmits neurological impulses between nerve cells and the
brain. It helps keeps you awake and alert while it reduces hunger
pains. It also functions as an antidepressant and helps
improve memory.
L
Threonine:
L Threonine is an essential amino acid found in green tea that produces calming effects
in the brain and creates a feeling of relaxation without the
effect of drowsiness. It also helps to reduce high blood
pressure and relieve stress. L Threonine assists the metabolism, enhances the immune system,
and aids in the formation of collagen, tooth enamel and
elastin: all three useful components in perpetuating a
youthful appearance. It also helps prevent fat build-up in the
liver and aids in maintaining the proper protein balance in
the body.
L
Valine:
L-Valine is an essential amino acid, and another of the branch chain amino acids (BCAA L-Valine
is involved in protein synthesis, energy production, and
muscle metabolism. Helpful in maintaining the balance of
nitrogen in the body, L-Valine works best with L-Isoleucine
and L-Leucine. |
