HGH - Human Growth Hormone
By Franco Ruggiero, a student at Bergen Community College.
Human growth hormone (HGH) was discovered in the 1920's. Since then, scientists have managed to make amazing discoveries regarding Human Growth Hormone and its many benefits. From males 20-30 years of age, HGH is present in the body at the amount of 500 micrograms. The gland that manufactures HGH in the body is known as the anterior pituitary gland. Its main beneficial function is to enhance protein synthesis which is a process that takes place in recovery. New muscle tissue is constructed this way.
