How Much HGH Does Your Body Produce?<\/h2>\n

Human growth hormone, also known as HGH, is one of the most important hormones in childhood. As the name suggests, it plays a major role in the growth and development of the human body. More specifically, it aids in the building of our bones and muscle growth — it’ll also maintain normal body structure, height, and stature.<\/p>\n

With that said, many of you might be wondering what human growth hormone<\/a> is and where it comes from. As part of the endocrine system, HGH is a 191 amino acid single-chain polypeptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland (a small, pea-sized gland at the base of the brain) and regulated by the hypothalamus.<\/p>\n

HGH can often be broken down into two primary categories \u2013 the natural HGH<\/a> produced by the body and synthetic HGH man-made in a lab. Both types of HGH hold their significance and are necessary for life \u2013 natural HGH is the body\u2019s main supply, while synthetic (recombinant) HGH is often used as a backup.<\/p>\n

How Does Your Body Produce HGH Naturally?<\/h2>\n

While the pituitary gland is responsible for growth hormone production, that process is only made possible with the help of the hypothalamus \u2013 which is located directly above the pituitary gland. These two areas of the brain work together simultaneously throughout the day and throughout your life.<\/p>\n

It all starts when the body has a need for HGH. The nervous system sends a signal to the hypothalamus, which secretes a hormone known as growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). This hormone is then sent to the pituitary gland, where it acts as a signal to produce and release HGH into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n

Of course, there will come a time when the body doesn\u2019t need HGH. When this happens, the nervous system sends a signal to the hypothalamus, which secretes a hormone known as somatostatin. This hormone travels to the pituitary gland and acts as a signal to inhibit growth hormone release.<\/p>\n

How Much HGH Does Your Body Produce?<\/h2>\n

The natural process of producing, releasing, and secreting human growth hormone (HGH) \u2013 which we explained above \u2013 is something that occurs in short spurts throughout the day and night. Natural HGH production never really stops completely, but it does fluctuate on a daily basis and throughout your life.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s extremely difficult to pinpoint how much HGH is produced by the body, some experts estimate that young adolescents secrete around 700 micrograms of HGH per day and adults secrete around 400 micrograms per day. Generally speaking, HGH production peaks during puberty and declines in your 30s.<\/p>\n

There are several factors that play a role in the rate of growth hormone secretion in the body \u2013 both on a daily basis and long-term basis. Understanding this is essential to putting your body in the best position to succeed. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re going to share with you some of the factors that stimulate and inhibit HGH production.<\/p>\n

What Stimulates HGH Production?<\/h3>\n

To touch base on what we described earlier, HGH production<\/a> is stimulated by growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Other known stimulators of HGH production include ghrelin, androgen, DHEA, sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen), insulin-like growth factor, clonidine, L-DOPA, glucagon, arginine, propranolol, and more.<\/p>\n

With that said, there are several factors that may play a role in stimulating natural HGH production:<\/p>\n
