The history of HGH

In 1920 growth hormone was first observed, it wasn’t until the 1950’s however, that it’s many benefits were discovered. Children who had growth deficiencies were administered HGH by researchers, who discovered that it promoted a normal pattern of development.

The discovery was naturally amazing, but the negative side was acquiring a supply. The pituitary gland of human cadavers was the only source for the hormone to be extracted. Only a few drops were obtained from each gland, so to produce enough for a single injection was very expensive and time consuming.

A biotech company, Genetech, changed all this in 1985. Earlier they had cloned the human gene for insulin; they also succeeded in bringing to market a genetically engineered growth hormone. Eli Lilly, a short while later in 1987 did the same.

This breakthrough coincided with a huge amount of research being done in the anti ageing area. After thirty years experience with adults and children deficient in growth hormone, no side effects had been experienced, therefore researchers began to give HGH to healthy adults. In countless studies participants were
recording a loss of body fat, a gain in lean muscle mass, increased energy levels, improved strength and stamina, thickening and re-growing hair, wrinkle reduction, regularised blood pressure, improved cholesterol profile, increased libido and enhanced sexual function.

The benefits go on and on. Unfortunately, even with the availability of genetically engineered growth hormone for most people the cost was still prohibitive. As the injections cost $15,000 to $30,000 only the wealthy would find it affordable.

However, in 1998 another amazing breakthrough occurred; an oral form of growth hormone was created by researchers. Decades after being an expensive little-known drug, it was formulated into a food supplement, still possessing all the many benefits produced by the injections. This means that the ultimate weapon against anti-ageing is now available in the form of a safe, homeopathic oral alternative, priced to be available to almost everyone.
