Aging – for some that is about the worst nightmare that could possibly affect them, and they will do literally anything to keep aging at bay, ranging from tummy tucks to full cosmetic surgery, to injections… Anything that promises it will lift skin that’s sagging and erase wrinkles is a hit with the aging population. Eternal youth is always sought.
Many of these provide temporary relief to the aging process. However, there is one therapy that does work – human growth hormone therapy. So what makes it different? HGH is produced by the body and as we age the amount of HGH our body decreases and we begin to see the signs of aging – wrinkles, fat especially in the mid section, loss of muscle tone, trouble sleeping, reduced sex drive, thinning bones, high cholesterol, and the list goes on. Human growth hormone therapy (an HGH supplement) will reverse those signs of aging and that’s why human growth hormone therapy has become the rave.
Caution is in Order
Do not just run out there and buy any HGH product. All HGH products are not created equal. Some are little more than snake oil salesmen so make sure you choose a reputable company with a reputable product. You should also not rush out and buy HGH injections. If your HGH levels are extremely low you need to see your doctor who can determine correct and safe HGH injection dosages for you.
HGH supplements have shown to work remarkably well by slowly helping the body to produce more human growth hormone, and as a result, many of the symptoms of aging will begin to disappear. When you look in the mirror, one morning you will find the wrinkles are not staring back at you.
What the Experts Say
Researchers have found that when HGH injections are taken by healthy adults, HGH can cause a number of side effects including carpal tunnel syndrome, soft tissue swelling, and joint pain. It has also been associated with increasing the risk of diabetes.
“Growth hormone should not be used for anti-aging purposes,” says Hau Liu, a research fellow in endocrinology and health policy at Stanford University and author of the new study appearing in the January 16 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. “This costs hundreds to thousands of dollars a month and there is no scientific evidence supporting it and very real, potentially serious side effects.”
On the positive side, there have been a number of studies published on healthy senior citizens using an HGH supplement that found the drugs reduced body fat by more than four pounds and increased lean muscle mass by more than four pounds.
Dr. Daniel Rudman of the Medical College of Wisconsin gave a normal dose to elderly males 3 times a week for 6 months and returned muscle mass 10%, skin thickness increased 9%, body fat lowered 14%, and weight was added to the liver and spleen.

According to reports in scientific literature, benefits from HGH replacement therapy include a reversal of declining pulmonary function, decreased body fat, and increased capacity to exercise, increased bone mass in people with osteoporosis, and the improvement or reversal of many other age-related symptoms and disorders.

Why is HGH Effective?
HGH or human growth hormone is a protein that your body produces naturally through the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. It’s production peaks when you are a teen and then started to decrease around the age of 30 and will continue to decline right through old age. When you replace the diminishing human growth hormone your body begins to act as it did when you were younger, which is why HGH is often referred to as the key to eternal youth.
The Food and Drug Administration has only approved HGH to treat children with short stature, which is caused by a growth hormone deficiency,-and to treat adults suffering from a growth hormone deficiency, which causes conditions like high cholesterol bone loss, and low energy.
The FDA bans pharmaceutical companies from marketing HGH for off-label uses like anti-aging. However, there are numerous vendors’ online selling HGH products and thousands of people snapping them up hoping they have indeed found the fountain of youth. As we already mentioned – it is important to buy your HGH supplements from a reputable vendor carrying a well recognized product. Remember if the claims sound too good to be true they likely are.
