About Human Growth Hormone Alternatives

Human growth hormone is primarily used to correct growth disorders in children, but it can also be used effectively to treat andropause and other aging related disorders that lead to muscle atrophy, low energy and other troubling issues. However, the side effects and synthetic nature of the hormone makes many people want to avoid it. Luckily, there are effective alternatives to human growth hormone for adults.
  1. Function

    • Human growth hormone promotes muscle growth, increases available energy and reduces fatigue. One of the best ways to get similar benefits is to turn to regular exercise and a healthy diet. A person can mimic the muscle-enriching properties of human growth hormone by increasing their protein intake significantly. To reduce calories, try buying some protein powder from a nutrition shop to mix into coffee or other drinks. Healthy, protein-rich foods like beans, fish and lean meat will all promote muscle growth and health.

    Effects

    • Fighting aging requires significant commitment to health. Alcohol, even in moderate doses, has a strong depressant effect on the body. If regular alcohol consumption is part of your diet, you may experience significant improvements in health and overall energy by abstaining from alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is toxic and causes muscle fatigue, exacerbating one of the most frustrating symptoms of aging.

    Considerations

    • Natural hormone supplements prescribed by a doctor like testosterone can have similar regenerative properties without many of the side effects of human growth hormone. When supervised by a doctor, such supplements can reduce and even reverse some of the effects of aging without the severe and chronic side effects of human growth hormone.

    Potential

    • Regular cardiovascular exercise will improve overall muscle health and fitness and reduce the chances of developing serious heart problems. Even light exercise, when made into a routine, can create a pleasant feeling of well-being and increase available energy. Take care to avoid injury so that the program can be continued indefinitely for at least three days a week. Supplement it with regular weight lifting, and the muscle growth will be sustainable - unlike human growth hormone, which can allow for rapid muscle growth, but with unsustainable and unpleasant side effects.

    Benefits

    • One of the primary benefits of turning to natural alternatives to human growth hormone is a sense of pride - earned self-esteem that cannot be purchased in a syringe. The human growth hormone user knows that it is the drug, and not them, that has earned their temporary appearance of health. Someone who earns and maintains it by their own sweat knows that it will persist throughout their life, and that they will not have to worry about enduring the humiliating, painful and dangerous side effects of performance enhancing drugs.
