Human Growth Hormone 191 AA (HGH191AA) is a peptide, which is used to activate human growth hormone. It is produced by the pituitary gland and it is made by 191 amino acids. Its main function involves the protein deposition, growth of tissues and the breakdown of subcutaneous fat stores. Growth Hormone is produced at high levels during adolescence. Treatments that use this peptide are focused on the fight against growth hormone deficiency.
The mechanism of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone causes the secretion of Human Growth Hormone during sleep. This process also stimulates the production of somatostatin, which is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion. HGH191AA enhances anabolism (metabolic pathways that allow the construction of molecules from smaller units), promotes the growth of body cells and in turn, it increases the multiplication rate of these cells.
HGH191AA has been used as an anti-aging therapy due to the benefits that it brings to the treatment of age-related degenerative conditions.
Nowadays this peptide is produced in a synthetic manner, but initially, it was not so; in the 1980’s this hormone was extracted from the pituitary glands of cadavers, the fact that was linked to fatal brain diseases.
Some bodybuilders who have used this peptide have not had good results due to HGH191AA could promote loss of body fat (derived from the stimulation process of cells that make use of fats). It is a fact that Growth hormone itself stimulates triglyceride hydrolysis in adipose tissue; which gives rise to weight loss.
HGH191AA has the ability to improve healing of injuries. Some tests have shown positive results in the regeneration of damaged cartilage using this peptide along with insulin-growth factor. These derived effects should not be attributed to the peptide by itself. The main agent of this benefit is the liver due to HGH191AA only accomplish a stimulation function of this organ, which is the only one capable of produce insulin-like growth factors but at a limited amount.
Athletes can be benefited of the improvement of their endurance due to the ability of HGH191AA to stimulate the production of red blood cells by a process called erythropoiesis, which at the same time supports the promotion of anabolism.
HGH191AA has none of the side effects observed in anabolic or androgenic steroids (reduction of testosterone production, acne, hair loss, aggressiveness, high estrogen level and increased water retention, among others). However, an important side effect of its use is the low concentration of glucose in the blood called hypoglycemia (can cause symptoms like weakness, hunger, tremor, or dizziness) along with an alteration of thyroid function (altering the release of hormones that control metabolism).
An advisable dose should be supplied by injections for up to five consecutive days letting one or two days off. Users that had used HGH191AA have experimented a noticeable loss of body fat at a dose of 2-6 IU/day, nevertheless required doses could vary from an individual to another.
