Along with testosterone, growth hormone (GH) may be the most anabolic hormone for the strength athlete. GH is a unique polypeptide hormone comprised of 191 amino acids which is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland. While the highest levels of GH are secreted during sleep, it is also released in "pulses" throughout the day - 9 to 29 times daily. As we age, these GH bursts are smaller and less frequent.

Maximizing GH release is important for strength athletes because it can help (1) release fat for burning and energy; (2) pump aminos into muscle cells for enhanced protein synthesis; (3) decrease protein breakdown (anti-catabolism); and (4) enhance IGF production, another powerful anabolic hormone. To derive all the potential anabolic benefits of growth hormone, you need powerful new GH Stack from Universal Nutrition. GH Stack works by helping to signal your pituitary gland to release more GH through a unique, "dual action" sub-lingual / oral delivery system which ensures that GH output is maximized.
