HGH Benefits for Men

Human growth hormone, or HGH, is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland. HGH supplementation may offer many antiaging benefits for men.

  1. Improved Energy and Stamina

    • Higher HGH levels can improve cardiac and lung function. An increase in oxygenated blood supply increases energy and sports endurance.

    Fewer Injuries

    • Increased HGH levels may help build healthy tendons and ligaments. Fewer sports-related injuries are reported among men receiving HGH supplementation.

    Weight Loss And Muscle Mass

    • A study by David Clemmons, M.D., at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, revealed that patients taking HGH and followed a healthy diet showed a 25 percent acceleration in fat loss over a control group that relied on diet alone. Those taking HGH lost less muscle than the control group, also.

    Reduced Belly Fat

    • In the Clemmons study, HGH patients lost more deep belly fat. This is the type of fat associated with heart attacks.

    Better Bone Density

    • Men suffer bone loss as they age. A Swedish study revealed that HGH supplementation increased bone density and reduced the risk of fracture to normal levels in men deficient in HGH.

    Improved Libido

    • HGH improves sexual potency, which begins to decline in early adulthood. HGH may raise levels of testosterone and restore sexual function in older men.
