Normalize Blood Pressure

Maintaining Youthful levels of HGH can improve cardiac and lung function. Two functions that can help maintain healthy blood pressure. Studies by Dr. Daniel Rudman* and others have showed that increasing HGH levels reduced diastolic blood pressure by about 10% without change to systolic pressure.*

Another indirect way that HGH supplementation may help to bring blood pressure into normal ranges is exercise. When we increase our HGH levels, we experience more energy and endurance. This increase in energy and endurance enables us to either begin, or increase our cardio exercise programs. And a sensible cardio exercise program can be a positive factor in helping to normalize blood pressure.

In another major study* in Denmark stated: Growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy in several controlled short-term trials have shown unanimous beneficial effects on body composition and other features. To evaluate more long-term effects we report data from 3 years of uninterrupted GH therapy in 10 different GH-Deficient adults who had all months of open GH therapy. No further increase in linear height was observed. The initial increase in thigh muscle volume was recorded. Exercise capacity and isometric muscle strength were increased significantly compared to the initial placebo period. This was associated with stabilized levels of resting heart rate and blood pressure. Glycosylated hemoglobin levels were normal and did not change during the study. A standard oral glucose tolerance test performed at the end of the study revealed no evidence of glucose intolerance. No side-effects were reported. Compared to an age- and sex-matched group of healthy untreated subjects, thigh muscle volume, exercise capacity and isometric muscle strength had become normalized from subnormal levels after 3 years of GH therapy. We conclude that long-term GH replacement therapy in GH-deficient adults is associated with preserved beneficial effects on body composition and physical performance, resulting in a near normalization of several previously abnormal features and adding new merits to this treatment modality.

Note: HGH supplementation is not intended to treat hypertension or any other blood pressure related condition. The potential use of any HGH supplement in place of a prescribed medication, or cardio-vascular exercise program, is something that you should first be discussed with your professional health care provider.
