Increase Bone Density

By helping your body increase its natural production of HGH toward youthful levels you may also help maintain healthy bones. Youthful levels of HGH often go side by side with raised levels of Calcium, Osteocalcin and two types of Collagen, which are all key factors to maintaining overall bone health.This is especially important with women entering peri-menopause, or women that are experiencing menopause. The hormonal imbalances in menopause may, in some cases, lead to a loss of bone density resulting in varying degrees of osteoporosis.

Bone Density
The potential role of GH in the maintenance of the skeleton has recently been investigated. GH is known to stimulate osteoblast proliferation and thymidine incorporation in vitro. Furthermore, GH stimulates systemic and local production of Insulin Like Growth Factor I, another known bone mitogen. In a recent study, GH replacement was shown to increase significantly bone Gla-protein, a sensitive indicator of osteoblast function (8). Less consistent changes in bone density have been demonstrated with GH administration. However, in a recent study using the sensitive techniques of quantitative tomography and single photon absorptiometry, significant increases of 5% and 4% were demonstrated in spinal and cortical bone density over 12 months of therapy in GH-deficient adults (4). It thus appears that GH administration may act to reverse the osteopenia present in the GH-deficient patient.
