The Hypothalamus is the control center of all autonomic regulatory activities of the body. It has been said that the hypothalamus is the brain of the brain. It is the hub for automatic and endocrine homeostatic systems such as cardiovascular, temperature, and abdominal visceral regulation. It manages all endocrine hormonal levels, sensory processing, and organizing body metabolism, as well as ingestive behaviors.

The hypothalamus has some control over the pituitary gland. There are other areas in the hypothalamus that control hunger, thirst, body temperature, and some facets of behavior. What is the range of problems seen in children with SOD? The pituitary gland may be completely absent, resulting in a life-threatening condition at birth. Some children are not diagnosed until later in childhood. Children may need only one hormone replaced, or all hormones.

Oxytocin stimulates contractions of the uterus during labor and the ejection of milk during breast-feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) increases reabsorption of water into the blood by the kidneys and therefore decreases urine production. Also referred to as Vasopressin.

The function of these vital systems can be altered by various causes ranging from food mishandling, dependency & substance withdrawal, stress or psychological responses to simple functional deficits, hyperactivity, hypoactivity or learning disabilities. Unfortunately, Hypothalamic function becomes impaired with age, so as we grow older the Hypothalamus needs support to maintain optimum performance.

When the Hypothalamus is not working correctly, when it's not functioning up to par, the wrong neuro-signals are generated and the wrong neuro-messages are received, resulting in an inaccurate integration of all our sensory input, leading to faulty perceptions which are very subtle but nonetheless powerful, making us feel empty, deprived and emotionally "unsatisfied.

GH-Releaser is fortified with a purified powder form of the hypothalamus gland The manufacturer tested this additive for months before adding this ingredient to the product line of GH-Releaser.The results of this test were an even increase in the HGH levels of those tested with no side effects reported. Again, this is an all-natural ingredient that derives from sheep and is similar in nature to the Anterior Pituitary Peptides.
