Also,
for our purposes, their lean body mass increased 3 pounds
and their fat mass decreased 5 lbs. All within just 2 weeks
of receiving this small amount of additional growth hormone.
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...
In
other words, our body still manufactures ample amounts of
growth hormone but as we get older we are unable to release
as much into the bloodstream. Research has revealed the daily
release of growth hormone decreases steadily from adolescence
until about 40 years of age, and eventually decreases to levels
which are hard to detect by the time we reach 60 years of
age.

In
this study, it was found the increase in growth hormone was
greater than that which one would expect to find with the
administration of injectable growth hormone. The main point
being... growth hormone secretion can be significantly increased
from oral arginine administration when combined with Ornithine
to take advantage of the synergistic effect. In the highly
controlled experimental studies described above, the amino
acids were taken prior to bedtime and prior to exercise.
These
amino acids must be taken together and on an empty stomach.
This means you cannot have any food or beverage other than
water 3 hours prior to ingesting the amino acids. Probably
the most important time to take these amino acids is at night
just prior to bedtime. However, these amino acids can also
be taken just prior to exercise but remember, they should
be taken following a period of 3 hours without food or a calorie
generating beverage. 
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. The reason why these amino acids appear
to work so well is not completely understood, especially when
considering the relatively low dosages administered. It might
be, however that such specific combination act together in
synergistic fashion to improve transport across cells in the
pituitary, improving their utilization for stimulation of
growth hormone secretion. (Growth System™)
