About the natural production of growth hormone

Somatotropin is constantly produced in the human body. The natural average daily concentration in men is from 1 to 5 ng / ml of blood. And it is produced periodically, every 3-6 hours, the younger the person - the more often and more. In women, this figure is on average 2 times less. All these indicators are individual. At night, the development of somatotropin varies 10-30 ng / ml. People with this level of natural hormone have a large physique, high growth, good muscle mass.

It controls the production of growth hormone hypothalamus. If the body lacks growth hormone, the hypothalamus starts stimulating the production of growth hormone by producing somatoberin, and with an overabundance of growth hormone - somatostatin, which suppresses secretion. These peptide hormones enter the pituitary gland and cause it to either produce somatotropin, or vice versa - to reduce its production.

The highest level of growth hormone during the period of rapid growth is from 14 to 20 years. In the future, output is sharply reduced, every 10 years by 15%, and after 35 years - by 25-30%. Most people at the age of 40 already suffer from a lack of growth hormone. Significantly decreases muscle mass, elasticity and strength of joints, ligaments and bones. Even if a person watches over his body, it is more difficult for him to achieve noticeable muscle growth and sports performance than young people.
