In addition to fat loss and muscle increases, several medical studies found, subjects with higher levels of safe growth hormone also have more “healthy cells” which defend against viruses and bad cells.
Growth Hormone is released from the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain in response to a number of complex conditions. We’ll just talk about those that relate to building muscle and burning fat.
Generally, about 7/10th’s of a milligram of growth hormone is released naturally by the pituitary gland throughout a 24 hour period. About 50% of this amount is released within the first 4 hours of sleep. The remainder is released in response to a variety of stimuli such as...
Although sleep is the major stimulator of growth hormone, physical exercise is next in line. In fact Growth hormones peak higher during exercise than during sleep. The magnitude of growth hormone released during exercise is influenced by several things...
Another problem is, as we get older we get less and less Growth Hormone release. Growth Hormone secretion begins to decline in the healthy adult population between 20-30 years of age. This effect is attributed to aging alone and probably is the result of a defect in the releasing mechanisms which control growth hormone release rather than a defect in the manufacturing or storage of the hormone in the pituitary gland.

It has also been demonstrated that non-exercising individuals who are 20% or more above their recommended body weight will have impaired growth hormone release. This effect is totally separate from that induced by aging alone. Fortunately, it has also been found that growth hormone release will return to normal when body weight returns to normal.
Up to this point it might seem as though little can be done to increase growth hormone release and to improve height, especially in those who might have an age or body fat related impairment in growth hormone release. But, before you give up, please read on... the entire story has not yet been told. It has been found... nutritional supplementation can continue to influence growth hormone release even in older adults. Two recent studies using highly controlled experimental designs, have found that nutritional supplementation with the amino acids L-Arginine and Ornithine can produce a rather large increase in growth hormone secretion over many hours. Peak levels found in circulation were greater than those produced by strenuous exercise or sleep and the elevated levels were sustained for up to 8 hours during the day.
This must be done so the amino acids do not have to compete with other substances in the gastrointestinal track; thus, allowing easy passage of the nutrients to the bloodstream where they can eventually cross into the brain and stimulate the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.
When Arginine and Ornithine are taken according to the “Turn Back The Clock” Plan, increases in muscle strength and performance have been experienced in as little as 3-4 days. Another interesting point... amino acid combinations, such as arginine and Ornithine have been found to improve certain aspects of immune function as well as the production of immune hormones from the thymus gland (factors known to be strongly affected by growth hormone).
In the Arginine-Ornithine study, daily ingestion of these amino acids for 4 weeks in experimental animals markedly improved age-related impairments in the responsiveness of lymphocytes (white blood cells which regulate the immune response and fight infections) and the hormone producing capacity of the thymic immune gland was also normalized in old animals given the preparation. More importantly, the researchers found the hormoneproducing capacity of the thymus gland in aging adults was restored to levels which would be found in young adults. The amino acids were improving age-related losses in the endocrine system (most probably through improved growth hormone release) and this effect was improving body functioning, as measured by changes in the immune system.
