Growth hormone (GH in short) is a protein consisting of 191 amino acids that is produced in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It typically contributes to body growth during adolescence. During sleep - more precisely deep sleep - the hypothalamus regulates the secretion of the produced GH, which can be considered a "positive" hormone due to its protein synthesis-stimulating and fat storage reduction effect. Once you become appr. 35 to 40 years old the muscle mass gradually reduces year by year. At the same time, the body fat starts increasing to the same extent. This process can be explained with the significantly reduced GH levels. The best and safest way to increase the level of this hormone is by supporting its internal production.
