First isolated in 1956 and its structure identified in 1972, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced in the pituitary gland and is secreted throughout a person's lifetime. Human Growth Hormone is one of the most abundant hormones secreted in the body and influences the metabolism, growth of cells, muscles and bones in the body.
In middle-to-late adulthood all people experience a progressive alteration in body composition. It has recently been proposed, however, the reduced availability of the HGH in the body during late adulthood may contribute to such changes.
Daily secretion of HGH from the pituitary is produced at a rate that peaks during adolescence when growth is rapid, but by age 60, this secretion rate is reduced by almost 75%. The decline in secretion of HGH with age is directly associated with many of the symptoms of aging. For example, decreasing energy levels, graying hair, skin wrinkling, increased body fat, cardiovascular and osteoporosis problems, and reduced sexual function. In fact, many of these symptoms have been associated with younger adults who have growth hormone deficiency.
If the pituitary gland can be stimulated into releasing additional HGH after adolesence, then some of those symptoms may be reduced or maybe reversed. In effect, restoring hair color and growth, regaining bone tissue, increasing energy levels, and reducing body fat. Initially HGH therapy was only available through costly injection, but more recently a number of amino acids have been shown to induce HGH secretion, and for most people daily supplementation of amino acids will be sufficient to stimulate this secretion. Sleep- N-Slim, a natural product developed by eurobotanicals, is a combination of some natural amino acids designed to stimulate the pituitary gland into secreting additional Human Growth Hormone (HGH). In addition, Sleep-N-Slim also contains various other natural products that in themselves have many beneficial effects. Finally, these natural products in some cases may enhance the performance of the amino acids.
The following natural substances form the main ingredients of
Sleep-N-Slim, each will be discussed with reference to its function:
AMINO ACIDS
1. l-glutamine
a. Helps immune system.
b.Increases energy and mental alertness.
2. l-lysine
a. Effects bone formation
b. Effects height and genital function
3. l-arginine
a. Improves exercise performance
b. Boosts immunity and healing
c. Increases fat burning
d. Enhances male fertility
4. l-carnitine
a. Fat burning supplement
b. Reduces blood fats
5. 1-ornithine glysine
a. Stimulates the pituitary to produce HGH
Other main ingredients:
1. Aloe vera
a. Promotes healing, especially external healing
2. Ascorbic acid
a. A natural form of Vitamin C.
3. Citric acid
a. A synthetic Vitamin C
4. Honey
Both 2 and 3 are included to supply the body with vitamin C and also with the addition of 4 for flavor
1. Vitamin B-3
a. A GH releaser
b. Helps lower cholesterol
c. Improves memory
2. Collagen
a. Assists in keeping the skin firm and toned.
3. Vitamin B-6
a. Helps process amino acids
4. Magnesium citrate
a. Essential for neural conduction and muscular contraction
b. Assists in fluid balance within the body and energy production
Based on the dosage of amino acids as suggested by Dr. R. Klatz
in his book, Sleep-N- Slim has been formulated so that no side
effects should occur while still maintaining good results. Short
breaks in taking Sleep-N-Slim can be beneficial to some recipients
as it may then trigger the body into a renewed response when the
daily dosage is resumed, however, the dosage of Sleep-N-Slim is
such that the eurobotanicals suggest that break may be entirely
at the discretion of the individuals involved
In a non-scientific survey of people who have been using Sleep-N-Slim the general results showed a very favorable outlook for the effectiveness of the product (Table1). People not only lost some pounds but found that their energy level increased, their sleep patterns improved, skin conditions e.g. psoriasis and susceptibility to sunburn, were greatly reduced and in certain cases where damage to muscle tissue had occurred it was reported that the muscle healed much faster than when similar injuries had occurred previously.
