Human growth hormone is described by some as the key to slowing the aging process. Before you sign up, get the facts — and understand proven ways to promote healthy aging.



Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland — a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain — to fuel childhood growth and help maintain tissues and organs throughout life. Beginning in middle age, however, the pituitary gland slowly reduces the amount of growth hormone it produces. This natural slowdown has prompted an interest in the use of synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) to stave off the realities of old age. However, there's little evidence to suggest human growth hormone can help otherwise healthy adults regain youth and vitality.
Who needs to take human growth hormone?

Synthetic human growth hormone, which must be injected, is available only by prescription. It's approved to treat adults who have true growth hormone deficiency — not the expected decline in growth hormone due to aging.


Studies of adults who have a growth hormone deficiency show that injections of human growth hormone can:

• Increase bone density
• Increase muscle mass
• Decrease body fat
• Increase exercise capacity

Human growth hormone is also approved to treat AIDS- or HIV-related muscle wasting.
What can human growth hormone do for otherwise healthy adults?

Studies of healthy adults taking human growth hormone are limited. Although it appears that human growth hormone injections can increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults, the increase in muscle doesn't translate into increased strength. In fact, researchers have found that strength training is a cheaper, more effective way to increase muscle mass and strength.
It isn't clear if human growth hormone may provide other benefits to healthy adults.
What are the risks of taking human growth hormone if you don't need it?



Human growth hormone may cause a number of side effects for healthy adults, including:

• Swelling in the arms and legs
• Joint pain
• Muscle pain
• For men, enlargement of breast tissue (gynecomastia)

Human growth hormone may also contribute to conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
Some research suggests that side effects of human growth hormone treatments may be more likely in older adults than in younger adults. Because the studies of healthy adults taking human growth hormone have been short term, it isn't clear whether the side effects could eventually dissipate or become worse.
Cost is likely a concern, too. Human growth hormone injections can cost thousands of dollars.
Does human growth hormone come in pill form?

Some Web sites claim to sell a pill form of human growth hormone that produces results similar to the injected form of the drug. Sometimes these are called human growth hormone releasers. There's no proof that these claims are true, however. Likewise, there's no proof that homeopathic remedies claiming to contain human growth hormone work, either.
What's the bottom line?

If you have specific concerns about aging, ask your doctor about proven ways to improve your health. Remember, healthy lifestyle choices — such as eating nutritious foods, controlling portion sizes and including physical activity in your daily routine — can help you stay healthy and strong as you get older.

Good read. Thanks

Awesome info!!!

Good info, been a guy who spends half my time in thailand every f**king bodybuilder are taken HGH. i know guys there form the gym in train in and they have never ever taken steroids but are taken HGH and as u have said above u can see these guys are as weak as hell. U have guys that are 3 times the size of me and can barely do 80kg for 8reps. I do believe it great ofr anti aging as a training partner of mine eats the stuff and to look at him u would say 36-38yrs old where his 48. i trained with gary strydom at xmas his 50 his on it too he lives in bkk and to to at gary u would think mid 40s. In great shape biggest arms i have ever seen in my life and a very very nice guy a pure gentleman i must say. Enjoyed having a few beers with him too.
But a lot of idiots there are taken this stuff and have no idea what there getting into, bet this!!! the thing to do at xmas there was to inject your penis yes your cock with HGH to increase girth and lenght!!! i could not believe this..but 4 guys i knew were doing in once a week. My buddy whose on it his 135kg and 6.5% bodyfat he was amazed at this and even asked why inject there? there reply i want my dick get bigger so i inject there. We we explaining to them even with steroids its does not matter where u inject u get the same result i.e. some guys inject the tricep think gain extra size there since injecting there!
plus those idiots there when i ask what supplements ye taken and answer is what u mean by supplements.
as ye would be aware steroids can be brought over the counter there and very cheap i.e. HGH 11,500baht.
no wonder why LOS(land of smiles) is full of bodybuilders u would be amazed at who u meet and see there! especially 3 months out of competitions.
Great place to train i must say! i'm not the strongest guy around ha... but off 2 years training on and off in thailand NOT ONCE have i seen anyone could near my friend and i strenght wise. I feel i trianed to my potential naturally before i joined the dark side last year and when i joined the dark side i take small dosages not huge doses.
Even in my home town there fools taken 1250mg plus of sustanon a week and if u asked them whats your PCT they would say what is that? and what supplements u taken usual answer there a waste of money, i get unset stomach i eat all all see.
fucking idiots. One of the fools who taken 1250-1500mg sus, 50dbol plus winny his benching 90kg, lat pulldowning 75kg and walks around like arnie and if u saw him u say jesus his fat he sould do some cardio. but thats what your dealing with in my town. I am new to the dark side and in hindsight my 1st was a waste of money but i learned from my mistakes and I'll put my hand up and say i was not well read up on gear just took adivce verbally from idiots in my gym.
Anyways thats my 50cent ha...
later
