Increasing Human Growth Hormone

What are the amino acids that increase growth hormone? L-Arginine do, but are there any other variations and combinations of L-Arginine with other amino acids that is more effective? Are there any other amino acids and substances that increases human groeth hormone?

Regulation

Peptides released by neurosecretory nuclei of the hypothalamus into the portal venous blood surrounding the pituitary are the major controllers of GH secretion by the somatotropes. However, although the balance of these stimulating and inhibiting peptides determines GH release, this balance is affected by many physiological stimulators and inhibitors of GH secretion. [1]

Stimulators of GH secretion include:

* growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) from the arcuate nucleus
* ghrelin
* sleep
* exercise
* low levels of blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
* dietary protein
* estradiol
* arginine[2]

Inhibitors of GH secretion include:

* somatostatin from the periventricular nucleus
* circulating concentrations of GH and IGF-1 (negative feedback)
* dietary carbohydrate
* glucocorticoids

In addition to control by endogenous processes, a number of foreign compounds (xenobiotics) are now known to influence GH secretion and function [3], highlighting the fact that the GH-IGF axis is an emerging target for certain endocrine disrupting chemicals ( see endocrine disruptor).

Uses that are controversial include

* GH treatment for remission of Multiple sclerosis
* GH treatment to reverse effects of ageing in older adults (see below)
* GH treatment to enhance weight loss in obesity
* GH treatment for fibromyalgia
* GH treatment for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
* GH treatment for idiopathic short stature DO NOT WANT
* GH treatment for bodybuilding or athletic enhancement
* The use of bovine somatotropin to increase milk production in cattle

It does something. I’m not middle aged or older yet, and I’ve just started it, so improvements have been minor. If it really does work, then taking something to protect yourself from the cancer accelerating effects of GH is very important (we all have SOME cancer cells). That is also discussed on the website.

We have a thread about this somewhere on the site but I’m do tired to find it but it really does do something no doubt. The only problem is taking the protection 4-6 hours after your biggest meal and than waiting hours to take the combination. I tend to only have 3-5 hours from dinner till bed. I had talked with the guy via email a few times.

Waiting 3-5 hours before taking the combination sounds about right. I’m just not sure if you’re supposed to wake up after 1.5 hours of sleep and take the polyphenols.
