HGH side effects: Rocky’s viewpoint
Despite the purported HGH side effects that may exist, HGH is very popular. All you have to do is look at any of the Internet marketing ads to see why. With promises to lose fat, gain muscle, improve sex life, sleep quality, vision and memory; restore hair growth and color; strengthen the immune system; normalize blood sugar; increase energy; and turn back your body’s biological clock. HGH looks like the “The Fountain of Youth” and if you’re a baby boomer this message can be overwhelming.
“HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing . Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed. Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older. Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life. Mark my words. In 10 years it will be over the counter.” Sylvester Stallone.
While HGH has been used to aid the growth deficiency in children , it wasn’t until a study that was reported
that has caused widespread interest in in the New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 323 July 5, 1990 Number 1done by Dr. Daniel Rudman HGH for adults.
The study was conducted to understand the effect of HGH on men between the ages of 61 to 81 over a six month period who’s growth hormone levels (IGF-1) were low. 21 men were divided into 2 groups, 12 were given synthetic human growth hormone and 9 recieved no treatment. At the end of the study those that received treatment saw their growth hormones rise to a youthful range. The administration of human growth hormone for six months in group 1 was accompanied by an 8.8 percent increase in lean body
mass, a 14.4 percent decrease in adipose-tissue mass, and a 1.6 percent increase in average lumbar vertebral bone density.
Conclusion
Diminished secretion of growth hormone is responsible in part for the decrease of lean body mass, the expansion of adipose-tissue mass, and the thinning of the skin that occurs in old age. After a 12 month observation all of the men in both groups remain healthy. there were no HGH side effects While the benefits of using HGH is promising, expecting to grow hair on your already bald head or burning fat without exercising is unrealistic.
