Increasing GH (growth hormone) and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1) levels will have a significant impact on muscle and bone growth (especially if you are young). Here are 11 things that could increase your GH and IGF-1 levels:

- 1 - Lower Body Fat: One of the most effective ways to increase GH and IGF-1 levels is to maintain low body fat levels. This is because excess body fat can reduce the production of these hormones.
- 2 - Use GH Peptides: GH peptides such as MK-677, HGH, and Somatropin can help increase GH and IGF-1 levels. MK-677 is an orally active growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH production. HGH and Somatropin are injectable forms of growth hormone that can increase GH levels in the body.
Oral administration of growth hormone (GH) releasing peptide-mimetic MK-677 stimulates the GH/insulin-like growth factor-I axis in selected GH-deficient adults - PubMed
To determine the effect of the GH releasing peptide (GHRP)-mimetic, MK-677, on the GH/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis in selected GH-deficient adults, we studied nine severely GH-deficient men [peak serum GH concentration in response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia of 1.2 +/- 1.5...

- 3 - Huperzine A: Huperzine A is a natural nootropic that can help increase GH levels. This is because it inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine stimulates the release of GH, so by inhibiting its breakdown, huperzine A can help increase GH levels in the body.
- 4 - Intermittent Fasting: Intermittent fasting is a dietary approach that involves alternating periods of eating and fasting. During the fasting period, the body produces more GH to help maintain muscle mass and burn fat. This increase in GH production can help increase overall GH and IGF-1 levels.
- 5 - Amino Acids: Certain amino acids such as L-arginine, GABA, Beta-Alanine, glycine, alpha GPC, L-dopa, Ornithine, and Glutamine can help increase GH production. These amino acids stimulate the production and release of GH, which can help increase overall GH and IGF-1 levels. Creatine may also help with GH production.
Use of amino acids as growth hormone-releasing agents by athletes - PubMed
Specific amino acids, such as arginine, lysine and ornithine, can stimulate growth hormone (GH) release when infused intravenously or administered orally. Many individuals consume amino acids before strength training workouts, believing this practice accentuates the exercise-induced GH release...

- 6 - Melatonin and Niacin: Melatonin and niacin are two natural supplements that can help increase GH production. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, and it is also involved in the regulation of GH secretion. Taking melatonin before bedtime can help increase GH production during sleep. Niacin is a form of vitamin B3 that can help increase blood flow and GH production.
Melatonin stimulates growth hormone secretion through pathways other than the growth hormone-releasing hormone - PubMed
Our data indicate that oral administration of melatonin to normal human males increases basal GH release and GH responsiveness to GHRH through the same pathways as pyridostigmine. Therefore it is likely that melatonin plays this facilitatory role at the hypothalamic level by inhibiting...

- 7 - Avoid Processed/Sugary Foods: Processed and sugary foods can decrease GH and IGF-1 levels. This is because these foods can cause insulin resistance, which can impair GH and IGF-1 production. It's important to avoid these foods and focus on a diet that is rich in whole foods and nutrients.
- 8 - Avoid Eating Before Bed: Eating before bed can decrease GH and IGF-1 levels. This is because insulin production is stimulated by eating, which can reduce GH production. To maximize GH production, it's best to avoid eating for a few hours before bedtime.
- 9 - Sauna: Sauna use can increase GH production by stimulating the release of heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins are produced by the body in response to heat stress, and they have been shown to increase GH production.

As we age, our bodies go through many changes inside and out. These biological changes that occur in our elder population can lead to a variety of orthopedic injuries.

- 10 - HIIT: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help increase GH and IGF-1 levels. This is because HIIT is a form of exercise that is associated with an increase in GH and IGF-1 production. HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of rest, and it can be an effective way to increase GH and IGF-1 levels.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in sedentary aging men but not masters' athletes: an observational study - PubMed
In conclusion, HIIT with preconditioning exercise abrogates the age associated difference in IGF-I between SED and LEX, and induces small improvements in fat-free mass in both SED and LEX.

- 11 - Get Adequate Sleep: Getting 9-10 hours of sleep each night can help increase GH
