HGH factoids
Growth hormone is an anterior pituitary hormone whose main effect is to promote growth of body tissues. HGH is associated with increased muscle mass and longer and stronger action on the treadmill. Growth Hormone is a protein hormone that is synthesized and secreted by cells called somatotrophs in the pituitary. HGH facts are only effective during a child’s growing years. The bulk of the effect accomplished by HGH is performed by a related hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), which is released predominantly by the liver and, to some extent, by other tissues in response to the presence of HGH.
