Growth Hormone (GH) Therapy
Accelerating the growth of GH or supplying GH to the body produces various anti-aging effects.
Growth Hormone (GH), also known as Human Growth Hormone (HGH), is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. However, after adolescence, the rate of secretion decreases with age.
Effects of GH Therapy
・Helps develop and stimulate the body and its organs, including bone growth.
・Increases bone density.
・Strengthens muscles.
・Reduces body fat.
・Helps lower LDL cholesterol while raising HDL cholesterol.
・Increases the basal metabolic rate.
・Boosts immune system
・Improves the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.
・Helps in hair restoration and improves nail growth.
・Helps achieve a good night’s sleep.
・Helps reduce fatigue.
・Boosts motivation and enhances efficiency.
Le Coquelicot Clinic offers growth hormone (GH) treatments that improve the appearance of aging by reducing the loss of secretion of GH. There are two kinds of treatments:
Sarcotropin – an FDA approved medical food
Secretion – a medical food that stimulates the secretion of GH
The secretion of GH depends upon the individual. The effects of Sarcotroppia may not be noticed at first as they appear slowly. However, it is a treatment that is suitable for everyone as it does not cause any side effects (assuming no allergic reaction to any of its ingredients).
Dosage and Directions: Take 2 tablets of Sarcotropin daily at bedtime. Hold in the mouth for a while before swallowing so that it can be absorbed through the oral mucosa.
Sarcotropin is a medical food containing ingredients that counteract sarcopenia which is the loss of muscle or lean body mass (LBM) and part of the aging process. Active ingredients such as Ghrelin and its analogue GHRP-2 stimulate the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. In addition, Sarcotropin contains a chemical by-product of leucine metabolism known as B-hydoroxy 8-methyl butyrate (HMB) and an amino acid called L-DOPA. HMB inhibits proteolysis or the enzymatic breakdown of protein thereby countering loss of muscle mass. L-DOPA increases brain dopamine which in turn enhances pituitary growth hormone production and release.
