Explanation of Physiology & Benefits:

Human Growth Hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland within the brain and located in the sella rurcica. This region is a small depression in the sphenoid at the base of the skull. In spite of its tiny size - the pituitary gland weights less than 1/50th of an ounce - it is commonly referred to as the master gland because of its regulatory effect over other glands. One section known as the anterior pituitary produces six major hormones that control body structures and functions from the thyroid to the ovaries and testes.


One particular hormone - human growth hormone, is responsible for growth during childhood and throughout adolescence. In addition, throughout life, it affects just about every cell in the body and has a major effect on how we feel, our behavior and our appearance. For example, human growth hormone can turn fat deposits into energy. Human growth hormone is able to promote the generation of energy from fat, rather than from carbohydrates and proteins. To do so, it breaks down fat deposits, releasing the fatty acids they contain. Human growth hormone then stimulates the conversion of the fatty acids to acetyl coenzyme A which is responsible for the production of energy. The process is sparing of both carbohydrates and proteins.
