Human GH,TA-65,Cenegenics, Amino Acids and Vitamins

Part five

Physical factors to consider while aging include Human GH, or somatotropin which is a simple protein made up of a single chain of 191 amino acids.  This substance, released by the pituitary gland, starts in childhood and continues into old age.  Like many hormones hGH is released into the bloodstream in far greater quantities when young, peaking in the mid-20s, and then begins a slow gradual decline. By the time age 60 or 70 is reached, the body has access to only 15 to 20% of the h GH that it used in youth.  Some benefits of h GH supplements include: stronger bones, more muscle mass, younger, thicker skin, loss of body fat, stronger immune system, higher energy level, enhanced sexual performance, greater cardiac output, better exercise performance, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, sharper vision, and improved mood. Do not forget to consult with your doctor regarding this hormone.

DHEA is called the mother of all hormones, because the body uses it to produce the male and female sex hormones -testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. It also produces corticosterone.   Like the hormone HGH, DHEA levels continue to rise until about age 25 and then production drops off sharply.  By age 65 were producing only 10 to 20% of the DHEA that our bodies manufactured at age 20.  Proponents of this hormone suggest the following benefits: enhanced immune system, reduced incidence of cancer, coronary artery disease and osteoporosis, lower blood cholesterol, improved liver function, stabilized blood sugar levels and help preventing the onset of diabetes in adults, assistance in weight loss and converting fat to lean muscle mass, and prolongs life expectancy.  Do not forget to first consult your doctor before considering supplements.

Estrogen, progesterone testosterone replacement  therapy can also be considered. Once again, consult your doctor or consider an evaluation by Cenegenics Medical Institute the world’s largest age management practice.  This program is described as unique and utilizes a balanced combination of nutrition, exercise and hormone optimization. This program also incorporates TA-65. This product lengthens the telomeres  which are located at the end of chromosomes.  In theory, the longer the telomeres, the greater heart and immune system health thus prolonging life.

Nutritional supplements to consider in lengthening your life include chromium the mineral that balances blood sugar; selenium the antivirus supplement; magnesium or calcium that also is associated with fighting aging.

The vital antioxidants: vitamins C., E., and a,” also assist in fighting aging.  Consult homeopathic medicine, your primary care physician, or go to your nearest health food store. If you are taking prescribed medication definitely consult with your doctor first.

I currently am taking vitamin C, Co Q 10, Saw Palmetto, Selenium, and Rhodiola Rosea daily and Zinc occasionally.
