As with most things, there is a non-synthetic solution. Exercise is an excellent way to increase your body’s access to HGH. Simple, but high-intensity exercise, like weight-lifting or resistance exercises, two to three times per week, will raise your HGH levels.

To maximize your natural promotion of HGH, according to Dr. Ronald Klatz and Dr. Robert Goldman, “Be sure you are doing only the most strenuous lifting-loads you can only lift six times, rather than the lighter loads that can be hefted fifteen times or more. (Check with a doctor before undertaking any strenuous new exercise program, of course.) Lower-body workouts seem to be most effective with regard to HGH, so allot at least half your workout time to leg lifts.”

Others have found that more aerobic activities such as sprinting or handball two or more times a week have a tendancy to raise HGH levels. It has been noted long-distance running doesn’t seem as effective; HGH seems to be released in response to particularly intense and strenuous activity.

That being said, according to the Dr. Klatz and Goldman, “… the most powerful combination of all is exercise plus hGf-stimulating supplements (or vitamin supplements that help produce HGH). Likewise, taking HGH supplements (or their equivalents) is no substitute for watching what you eat and reducing fat, and perhaps calories, in your daily diet.”
