How To Use Human Growth Hormones For Anti-Aging

By Chris Channing

The aging process is something science has been seldom able to slow down. With the "baby boomer" generation now approaching an older age, there are more people now than every trying to press towards a cure for old age. One method that has been found out, the use of human growth hormones, or HGH, is now under intense scientific study.

The pituitary gland produces HGH primarily during the years of puberty. At around the age of 30, the production tends to decline heavily. What scientists have found is that this may be responsible for the effects of aging. By running studies of using test subjects to inject human growth hormones into their systems, scientists have made some astounding discoveries in anti-aging concerns.

From what studies have shown, it is better to balance a healthy level of human growth hormone. Too much can result in prostate cancer for men, and breast cancer for women, among other serious problems. Too little will result in energy deficiency, muscle loss, and inability to repair wounds. Obviously, consulting a doctor isn't just a good idea, it's necessary to take the hormone correctly if a consumer should so will it.

As far as aging qualities go, studies show that in most cases the hormone would raise muscle mass, decrease fat content of the body, and increase bone strength. Oddly, it didn't necessarily increase the strength, intelligence, or overall body health. While there haven't been many long-term studies to confirm the actual effects of the hormone, most would show that there are true anti-aging benefits tacked on to a few scary side effects.

The human growth hormone craze is mostly used to combat AIDS- which is likely how most are familiar with the drug. HGH is able to boost the immune system and ward off the effects of AIDS and prolong deterioration of the human body. Indeed, taking HGH for much else may also be illegal in the United States, since it is stated that one must have a real health condition in order to take the drug. This is due to the lack of long term studies, and also some of the health risks associated with HGH.

Be wary of places that sell HGH. You should first do research or ask a physician to see whether or not the drug is legal to take for your own personal reasons. If it is, you should continue to consult physicians and perhaps go online to get a good deal on the drug.

Final Thoughts

To see if you qualify for HGH, your best bet is to talk to a qualified doctor. Only a doctor will have the right information on where to obtain it in a legal manner, how to use the drug safely, and how to reap the effects of this wonderful drug without causing harm. - 15438
