Growth Hormone (GH) Boosting

Supplementation

Normal GH secretion:
GH is released by the pituitary gland. It is
located at the base of skull.
The most plentiful hormone released by the
pituitary gland is GH.

It is a water soluble neurotransmitter.

 Normal daily secretion of GH is 0.5 to 2 mg. The secretion of

GH is not continuous and uniform, but is pulsatile and in
bursts.

Maximum GH release (GH surge) occurs 2 hours after falling

asleep (deep sleep and during dreaming), within 30 minutes
after exercise, and about 3 hours after eating.
Commonly known among people as hormone of youth and
hormone of championship.
GH release diminishes by age.
