You probably wouldn't expect the topic of human growth hormone (hGH) to cause an uproar at one of the most prestigious cosmetic dermatology conferences in the world. But at the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology's 9th World Congress, which ended Sunday in Athens, Greece, it caused quite a stir. Why? Because research is showing a strong link between hGH and healthy, younger-looking skin, leading many to start calling hGH the "Youth Hormone."
Human growth hormone therapy has become a staple among many of Hollywood's elite, who believe it can reduce wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost energy, rev up sex drive, and make you look and feel decades — not years, but DECADES — younger. In fact, a recent Shape magazine article on this subject began, "When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren't the only things responsible for her youthful glow."
The mass media seems to be just as obsessed as Hollywood A-listers. hGH has been featured on Fox News, The Today Show, The Dr. Oz Show… even Vanity Fair. Yet many medical professionals have dismissed hGH therapy, calling it an "underground" option that needs more research. But a new study explored growth hormone's effects on the skin, and what the study's authors discovered is forcing many medical experts to rethink their views on hGH therapy.
The research paper, "Growth Hormone System: skin interactions," concluded, "Clinical observations and analysis… have shown the important role played by the GH system in the development, maintenance, and repair of the skin. In fact, the dermal structures directly reflect the various changes in GH production that occur in the different phases of life."
Clearly, human growth hormone is a key player in the health and aging of our skin, and as more and more research shows just how vital hGH is to helping us both feel and look younger, an awful lot of people have stopped asking if they should be increasing their hGH levels and started asking which hGH-boosting option is right for them.
Until recently, most felt the best way to increase hGH levels was through prescription injections. The problem with these injections is that they're extremely expensive (costs can run as high as $1500 per month), and highly controversial… some experts argue against the use of these synthetic injections because they fear introducing synthetic hGH into the body may upset natural hGH production.
This controversy is likely the reason why so many of the experts who attended the 9th World Congress of Cosmetic Dermatology were so excited to hear about SeroVital®-hgh, a tiny little pill that works on a completely different principle to raise human growth hormone levels. "Rather than introducing synthetic hGH into the body via injections, SeroVital increases the body's own, endogenous levels of human growth hormone by promoting pituitary health, the gland that manufactures hGH," says Dr. Amy Heaton, PhD, Director of Scientific Affairs for SanMedica International™, SeroVital's distributor, who was on hand at the conference to answer questions. "SeroVital not only provides a more affordable way for people to raise their hGH levels, but does so in a clinically proven way that allows users to achieve this naturally and without the risks associated with injections."
SeroVital was first introduced to the world by a group of some of the most renowned researchers in the world at the prestigious Obesity Society's most recent Scientific Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. There, they revealed that SeroVital's highly specialized, proprietary compound has been clinically proven to increase mean, endogenous, bioactive, serum (blood) growth hormone levels… by 682%.
Since that time, SeroVital has been stealing the show at conferences across the U.S., including The Academy of Women's Health's 21st Annual Congress in Washington, D.C.; The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 61st Annual Clinical Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana; Sleep 2013, the 27th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Baltimore; the Pituitary Society's Thirteenth International Pituitary Congress, in San Francisco; ENDO 2013, The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting & Expo, also in San Francisco; and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners 28th National Conference in Las Vegas. At each of these events, new research on SeroVital and its possible effects on pituitary health, metabolism, and even sleep have caused a serious stir.
But it isn't just those involved with the world of clinical research that have become interested in SeroVital. It's been featured in Shape and Ok! magazines, on The Dr. Oz Show, Radar Online, KMAX Good Day Sacramento, Examiner.com, and New York Live,to name a few, and makeup artists and celebrity beauty gurus have been gushing about it for months.
Still, some skeptics are saying SeroVital sounds too good to be true. So is there a catch? Well, there are three. First, as with HGH injections, SeroVital is not a "magic bullet," but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen.
Second, for proper absorption, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed.
And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription HGH injections, it's still not cheap... SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month.
But is it worth it? To most people, anything that may reduce wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, and boost mood, while giving you plenty of energy, improving your sex drive and helping you sleep better is a no-brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the "established" medical community (and of course, they know everything) would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research that's preliminary. But there's no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES, younger, is... at the very least... irresistible.
