Herb Increases Human Growth Hormone Production

Mucuna pruriens is a tropical legume. The plant is an annual, climbing shrub with long vines. Mucuna pruriens seed powder contains high concentrations of levodopa, a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine and has long been used in traditional Indian medicine for diseases including parkinsonism. Another benefit of Mucuna is that it can increase the production of human growth hoA98rmone.

As it's name is telling us human growth hormone helps body to grow, it helps build muscles and increase streght. Taking synthetic HGH is very expesive at this moment. Many scientific researches are made to prove role of HGH. Some researches show that it helps people to become younger.

Nutritional analysis reveals mucuna pruriens contains crude protein ranged from 20-29 %, crude lipid 6-7%, total dietary fiber 8-10%, ash 3% and carbohydrates 50-60%. Several other compounds are found, including alkaloids.

Human growth hormone (hgh) or somatotropin (STH) is a protein hormone which stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other animals. It is a 191-amino acid, single chain polypeptide hormone which is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.

This article describes growth hormone physiology, with brief mentions of the diseases of GH deficiency, GH excess (acromegaly and pituitary gigantism), as well as GH treatment. For information on a common growth hormone sometimes given to cows, see bovine somatotropin. Hgh is produces by pituitary gland it is located in the center of the brain. Effects of growth hormone on the tissues of the body can generally be described as anabolic (building up). Like most other protein hormones GH acts by interacting with a specific receptor on the surface of cells.

Height growth in childhood is the best known effect of GH action, and appears to be stimulated by at least two mechanisms.

1. GH directly stimulates division and multiplication of chondrocytes of cartilage. These are the primary cells in the growing ends (epiphyses) of children's long bones (arms, legs, digits).

2. GH also stimulates production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1, formerly known as somatomedin C), a hormone homologous to proinsulin.

The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea that sits in a small, bony cavity covered by a dural fold the base of the brain. The pituitary fossa, in which the pituitary gland sits, is situated in the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa at the base of the brain.
