Growth hormone was
first observed in the 1920's, but not until the 1950's were it's
benefits first discovered. Researchers began administering it to
children with growing deficiencies and found that it promoted a
normal pattern of development.
This was thrilling, of course, but
the drawback was acquiring a supply.
The only source for the hormone
was extracting it from the pituitary gland of human cadavers, each
of which yielded only a few drops.
Then in 1985, a Biotech Company,
Genetech, which had earlier cloned the human gene for Insulin, began
to market a genetically engineered hGH. Coinciding with this
breakthrough, a great deal of research was being conducted in the
area of anti-aging. After 30 years of experience with both
children and adults deficient in growth hormone, there were no
significant side effects and researchers began administering hGH to
healthy adults.
The results were phenomenal !! In study after study, the
participants were losing body fat, gaining lean muscle mass, having
sexual function restored, gaining strength and stamina, increasing
energy levels, reducing wrinkled skin, thickening and even
re-growing hair, lowering blood pressure, balancing cholesterol, the
list goes on and on. But even with the new recombinant growth
hormone, the cost of the injections was $12,000 to $30,000 a year
and so it remained unavailable to most people.
Then in late
1996, hGH was formulated into a homeopathic oral spray with all the
benefits of the injections, without the expense and inconvenience.
