HGH Injection

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) by injection has been touted as being the proverbial 'fountain of youth'. It is available only by prescription. This injection contains a synthetically produced hormone identical to human growth hormone.

It became popular after a study by Dr Daniel Rudman, which was published in the New England Journal. This study found that over a short period of time there were improvements in the obvious signs of aging in most of the subjects participating. Some 'experts' suggested it was equivalent to turning back the clock by 20 years.

However, it was a short study and most of the participants ultimately withdrew. Dr Rudman is long deceased.

HGH injections have many potential side effects

Whereas HGH injections have applications in specific cases where the patients' own natural production of HGH is impaired, it is not the 'fountain of youth' originally suggested and indeed has possible dangerous implications for healthy adults.

Amongst others these include:

• High blood pressure
• Soft tissue swelling
• Thickening of the skin, abnormal hair growth
• Glucose intolerance
• Muscle weakness
• Arthritis
• Impotence
• Breathing problems
• Skin problems, rash or itchy or swollen skin.
• Premature aging and death!

The use of HGH injections also has the potential to shut down your own natural production of HGH. Should this happen, once your injections are discontinued, you are left with no natural HGH production resulting in a rapid deterioration of all your organs along with accelerated aging.
