rhGH (recombinant human Growth Hormone, Somatropin) is a bio-synthetic FDA approved prescription hormone replacement medication that is rDNA derived & bio-identical w/ 191 amino acid sequence endogenous Anterior Pituitary hGH (Somatotropin)

Medical studies repeatedly demonstrate that physician directed rhGH therapy and testosterone therapy both have positive effects on many of the diseases associated with aging: cardiovascular disease, mental decline, low energy / fatigue, depression, dementia, body composition (muscle mass vs obesity), bone loss and loss of libido.

MD prescribed rhGH is commonly dispensed by FDA approved medical clinics specializing in hormone replacement.

The Endocrinology of Aging: Many age associated mental & medical conditions are based in declining endocrine  function

  • At 40 endogenous GH is about 75% that of a 25-30 year old ... production is 25% less & maybe you feel a little different.

  • At 50 endogenous GH is about 55% that of a 25-30 year old... the 45% decline combines with accumulated deficit & you feel it.

  • At 60 endogenous GH is about 40% that of a 25-30 year old... a 60% decline + the effects snow ball.

61 YO Sylvester Stallone discusses using rhGH in preparation for his new Rambo movie.

Why should adults over 35 consider rhGH injections:

The benefits of adult rhGH Therapy are well documented by 1000s of medical research studies (& daily at baseball stadiums)

  • The % of 21st century baseball record setting adult athletes utilizing 21st century medicine / rhGH is overwhelmingly convincing as to the effectiveness of rhGH.

    • If the jocks got their prescription rhGH from a pharmacy with a MD's prescription they violated baseball rules but not law.

    • rhGH use is currently not detected by any tests because rhGH is identical to natural GH.  GH is a naturally produced hormone which is produced in lesser & lesser amounts as part of the aging process.

A low calorie diet is on your route to graceful aging

Without lifestyle changes 25% of all people born today will develop Type 2 Diabetes.

High protein diets result in the release of a hormone, PYY, that curbs hunger in both obese and normal weight people.  PYY levels are lowest amongst obese people.  Dr.  Batterham reported the dietary changes required in average person's diet would be small - 2-3%, no where near the protein levels advocated by the Adkins diet, small increases in protein intake and small reductions in carbohydrate intake are effective.

Exercise and weight control can reduce Type II Diabetes by 60%
