What is Andropause? By the time men are between the ages of 40 and 55, they can experience a phenomenon similar to the female menopause, called andropause. Unlike women, men do not have a clear-cut signpost such as the cessation of menstruation to mark this transition. Both, however, are distinguished by a drop in hormone levels. Estrogen in the female, testosterone in the male. The bodily changes occur very gradually in men and may be accompanied by changes in attitudes and moods, fatigue, a loss of energy, sex drive and physical agility.

The Chinese government has launched a furious attack on the former defence secretary Michael Portillo over an article he wrote comparing this summer's Beijing Olympics to the notorious Berlin Games of 1936, describing him as "despicable".Mr Portillo suggested that the Chinese may come to regret staging the games just as Hitler did in1936. The games to present Aryan superiority, where Jessie Owens the Negro sprinter won 4 gold medals.
Also, the systematic government sponsored use of drugs in training. the East German system, is rumoured to be in use.
China's decision to appoint Ma Junren as its deputy head coach for the world championships appeared even more ill-conceived than it did originally when it was announced yesterday that two of the female runners he trains have failed drugs tests. Suspicion has surrounded Ma's runners since 1993 when his team of unknown peasant women took all three medals in the 3,000 metres as well as gold and silver in the 10,000m at the world championships in Stuttgart.
All indications are there HGH supplements do not cause cancer. The best evidence for this comes from the work of Dr. Chen and Dr. Terry. Chen and Terry run a clinic where they perform HGH injections. From 1994 - 1996 they treated over 800 patients with HGH injections. Amazingly there have not been any reports of cancer from any of the patients. As Dr. Terry stated in Grow Young with HGH, "With 800 people over the age of about 40, you would think that given normal incidence rate of cancer, some of these people would get cancer. It could be that there is some sort of protective effect from growth hormone replacement."
Q.
How can I measure my HGH levels?
A.
HGH is only present in the body for a short period of time. However, IGF-1 is present in the body at all times. Since, IGF-1 does most of the work for HGH - it is easiest to measure IGF-1 levels. Blood and saliva tests can show your IGF-1 levels. Generally, the lower your levels, the more you stand to gain from HGH enhancing supplements.
Q.
What are the different types of HGH?
A.
1) Homeopathic HGH 2) Pre-cursor HGH 3) Real or synthetic HGH (delivered by injection or, by an oral spray method).
Q.
Can women take testosterone therapy?
A.
Yes. Women also make testosterone, in their case in the adrenals and the ovaries. They make perhaps a tenth what men make, so little in fact that the tests designed for men cannot really measure it.However, a woman who loses her ovaries can certainly measure the impact.
Q.
How long until I can expect to see results with HGH and Testosterone Therapy?
A.
The results of HGH and Testosterone Therapy vary for each individual. However, most people participating HGH report noticable results after 6 months of therapy, and people participating in Testosterone Therapy report noticable results after 4 weeks.

Growth Hormone (HGH) is one of the many endocrine hormones like
estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA that decline
with age. While some of these hormones can be replaced to deter
some of the effects of aging, HGH reaches far beyond the scope of
any one of these hormones to not only slow biological aging, but
to significantly reverse aging. Between the ages of 20 to 70, growth
hormone levels in your body fall by more than 75%.
Growth
hormone deficiency is associated with the following; a decrease
in lean body mass, a decrease in bone density, a reduction in skin
thickness, a reduction in a sense of well-being, a slowing in the
rate of wound healing, a lessening of immune responsiveness, and
a reduction in aerobic capacity. In addition, GHD is associated
with an increase in the following, all of which have been reduced
in clinical trials of growth hormone: increases in (LDL) , increases
in arteriosclerosis, increases in total body fat, and a general
increase in hospitalization rate and sick days from work.
Testosterone and HGH therapy in many ways are considered the wonder hormones. Testosterone and HGH have very specific roles in our every day lives, but more significantly so as we get older our lives take a turn for the worse, some of the more evindent signs of aging are weight gain, low sex drive, decreasing energy levels and loss of concentration and wellbeign.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the leading medical treatments against aging and the negative effects that come about as we age. Human growth hormone (HGH) and testosterone are the two most significan forms of hormone replacement, HGH is consider to be the anti-aging hormone for aging adults, where as testosterone is more specific to human body performance.
Testosterone levels decline gradually with age in human beings. The clinical significance of this decrease is debated (see andropause). There is disagreement about if and when to treat aging men with testosterone replacement therapy. The American Society of Andrology's position is that testosterone therapy "is indicated when both clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of androgen deficiency and decreased testosterone levels are present". The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists says "Hypogonadism
is defined as a free testosterone level that is below the lower limit
of normal for young adult control subjects. Previously, age-related
decreases in free testosterone were once accepted as normal. Currently,
they are not considered normal....Patients with low-normal to subnormal
range testosterone levels warrant a clinical trial of testosterone."[17]
Just as estrogen and progesterone are the female sex hormones, testosterone is the male sex hormone (although women have testosterone levels one-tenth to one-twelfth those of men). Testosterone is the main hormone produced in the testicles and secreted by the testes.
Testosterone Benefits (Result may vary by individual)
• Promotes libido and sexual desire; • Improve male sexual performance • Enhance mood in men • Reduce depression in men • Increased energy and vitality • Increase male bone density • Improve male fertility
• Stimulates sperm production • Increased strength and endurance • Regulate distribution of body fat • Increase body hair growth • Reduce risk of heart disease • Develops lean muscle mass • Nourishes male reproductive systems
The major effects of testosterone is that stimulates the growth of certain organs, promotes protein anabolism, that is, the use of protein to build muscle, skin, and bone, and militates against protein catabolism, or breakdown. Testosterone regulates the production of prostaglandin, which seems to keep prostate growth under control.
The effects of testosterone are most pronounced during puberty. It brings on the enlarged larynx, thicker vocal cords, new body hair, increased muscle mass, and increased oil-gland secretion by the skin commonly associated with puberty. After puberty, levels of testosterone drop gradually in men, with profound effects on physical health and well-being and particularly on mood and libido.
Some males suffer when their bodies produce insufficient levels of testosterone, resulting in a condition called hypogonadism. Hypogonadism can be caused by ailments of the testes, such as testicular injury or infection, Klinefelter's syndrome (a chromosomal abnormality), and/or from disorders of the pituitary and hypothalamus
Human Growth Hormone is one of several endocrine hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA that decline in production as we age. While many of these hormones can be replaced to deter some of the effects of aging, growth hormone goes far beyond the effect of any one of these hormones to not only retard biological aging, but also to significantly reverse many of the effects of aging. Researchers have proven growth hormone therapy can reverse the biological effects of aging by as much as 20 years with less than one year of treatment. Click 'Read More' Below
Will Human Growth Hormone Prove to be the First Anti-Aging Medication?
WILL GROWTH HORMONE PROVE TO BE THE FIRST ‘ANTI-AGING’ MEDICATION?
It is a fact that we are going to grow old. In fact, with the ‘baby boomer’ generation approaching their mid 50’s, the number of elderly Americans are substantially increasing. Then, why does it have to remain a fact that we will grow old in exactly the very same way our forefathers did before us: frail, confused, weak, fatigues, depressed, afraid to walk outdoors for fear of falling on the pavement?
There is an old adage that states that...... Youth is wasted on the young. If this is true, why should it follow that experience and financial security are 'wasted on the old’ because they have lost the energy and enthusiasm to enjoy the 'golden years?'
