Hormones are small chemical messengers that continuously endocrine glands from being secreted into the bloodstream so that they regulate the activity of vital organs. The term hormone comes from the Greek word "stimulate". Hormones stimulate a multitude of life-giving processes throughout the body and provide for health, harmony, growth, healing and regeneration.

The best known is the hormone insulin that is produced in the pancreas. When production declines or ceases, causes diabetes. Scientists discovered several years ago a way to produce insulin and to hold regular injections of the diabetes and their symptoms under control.

Growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland is a small, protein-like hormone (peptide), similar to insulin. It is called human growth hormone or "HGH (human growth hormone) and is very difficult to measure directly. HGH is in very short bursts during the first hours of sleep and remains only a few minutes in the cycle. It passes quickly in the liver and is converted into Somatomedin-C, another small peptide hormone (also known as insulin-like growth factor 1 or IGF-1). Somatomedin-C is responsible for most of the activities of growth hormone in the body. The somatomedin levels are much more stable and can be measured in the laboratory. During puberty, when growth is most rapid, production of HGH is very high. Therefore, it is "growth hormone" called. But even if the growth is finished, the hormone would have to (although somewhat less) are produced for the physical and mental health and well-being throughout life further.
