Can anyone help me understand this? I'm looking into HGH injections to help me lose weight and prevent wrinkles. Not only are they expensive, but I came across research that says that HGH injections can actually reduce my own natural levels of HGH? That's doesn't make sense to me. How can HGH injections reduce hgh?

Your body has a lot of checks and balances to prevent things from getting out of whack. Pretty much no matter what hormone or compound you make, there is a system in your body that senses how much is in your blood stream, and throttles down or even turns off "the tap" when it senses a certain amount. Too much artificial product can make your body think "wow, I've got plenty of this, no need to make more" and sometimes it gets so bad that your body sort of "forgets" how to make the substance at all. That would make you dependent on supplementation for the rest of your life.

I know this def. happens with steroids, but I don't know about HGH.

Say it isn't so! I haven't heard anything about this. I know many other performance enhancers can do this but if HGH does it, that could prove to be it's only downfall.

I don't think this is true. The body will produce what the body needs, no matter what you inject or induce into it. Our bodies are incredible machines that know what to do even if we don't.
