Fountain of Youth: hGH
Human growth hormone (HGH) is a peptide hormone crucial for growth and cell regeneration, but its use is controversial due to issues surrounding sports doping and fraudulent claims, especially regarding anti-aging effects. The FDA has not approved HGH for anti-aging therapy, and its long-term effects on healthy individuals remain understudied. While HGH may enhance various physiological functions, its administration must be carefully monitored, and alternatives should be explored.

- 10. What Doctors TellPeople Stuart Weinerman, MD Chief, Division of Endocrinology North Shore/Long Island Jewish Assistant Professor of Medicine, Hofstra/North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine The biggest reason not to take HGH as an anti-aging therapy is simply that it has not been adequately studied. We do not know the risks and benefits of long-term use of HGH in healthy people. As we have learned from many other similar situations, such as the safety of long-term hormone replacement in menopause, we should not make any assumptions of benefit or safety about potent drugs or hormones. We should first do the correct studies, powered to look at real risks and benefits, not just short-term effects like changes in muscle. Only when large studies are completed should we consider treating large numbers of normal people. We should not be doing an uncontrolled experiment on millions of healthy people.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Human growth hormone is one of my favorite hormones to take because of the youthful benefits it provides. It really is and does what all have claimed, to regenerate and reproduce.Human growth hormone is a product of the pituitary gland, the master gland of the body. As the name implies, it promotes linear growth in children and adolescents. After the body stops growing taller, the levels of HGH decline quickly and often become very low in adult life. Many of the effects of HGH are brought about through a second hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1, made by the liver. Human growth hormoneis the hormone that activates during early teenage years to start promoting growth of the long bones and causes rapid growth of the teenager into their early 20s. It generally is produced at 5 to 10 times the amount as it is produced during adulthood. It begins to taper off after about 20 and by the age of 25 we actually enter what is known as somatopause, which represents the gradual decline of human growth hormone. The optimal levels of human growth hormone really appreciate around age 24. In adulthood from age 25 on, human growth hormone represents primarily the growth healing and repair hormone of the body. It works with all of the other hormones including estrogen and testosterone to sculpt the body and promote a flat stomach. It helps to maintain the strength of the muscles and the repair of the muscles as well as the joints and bones. It keeps the hair, eyes, skin looking beautiful. It is responsible for maintaining great athleticism and training response to exercise as well as the recovery phase. It is extremely important at maintaining the health of the brain, and is responsible for promoting the development of the neurotrophic growth factors that maintain healthy brain function and integration. By the time we reach age 50 were producing about one third the amount of human growth hormone that we did in our early 20s. By the time we are 80 years of age were producing about 15% of the human growth hormone we did in our early 20s. When human growth hormone is low, the symptoms of low human growth hormone look identical to the symptoms of major depression as outlined in the DMS IV. It contributes to the frailty syndrome of aging and low hgh is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. When human growth hormone gets low we experience precocious aging. Human growth hormone deficiency is extremely common with aging,and without human growth hormone supplementation we will age with multiple degenerative diseases.
- #5 Controversies regarding the use of human growth hormone (HGH) as treatment method have centered around the claims, products, and businesses related to the use of growth hormone as an anti-aging therapy. Most of these controversies fall into two categories:3. Claims of exaggerated, misleading, or unfounded assertions that growth hormone treatment safely and effectively slows or reverses the effects of aging.2. The sale of products that fraudulently or misleadingly purport to be growth hormone or to increase the user's own secretion of natural human growth hormone to a beneficial degree.1. Sports DopingYou may have heard about HGH in the media over the past few years with celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone, Lance Armstrong and Alex Rodriguez to name a couple. The media portrays HGH as part of a group of anabolic steroids as “Doping” which gives a negative connotation to an absolutely incredible hormone. Have you ever wondered why all these celebrities and athletes would risk their jobs and reputation on the line for something that does nothing?
- #6 The use of banned performance-enhancing drugs in sports is commonly referred to as doping, particularly by the organizations that regulate sporting competitions. The use of drugs to enhance performance is considered unethical by most international sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee, although ethicists have argued that it is not different from the use of new materials in the construction of suits and sporting equipment, which can also aid performance and give competitors an unfair advantage. Athletes are told the reasons for the ban are mainly the health risks of performance-enhancing drugs, the equality of opportunity for athletes, and the exemplary effect of drug-free sport for the public. Anti-doping authorities state that using performance-enhancing drugs goes against the "spirit of sport".
- #7 So what’s the big deal anyway with growth hormone and why are so many seemingly intelligent people willing to use a substance that is considered to be legal?When broadcasters and announcers use the word “doping” when they read their story, they emphasize the word doping and sensationalize the doping part in a shameful manner. The shameful part of doping for athletes is the fact they dishonored their contract for agreeing to not dope, and then doing so.When people refer to doping, it usually means one or a combination of three main substances: Testosterone, human growth hormone, and Erythropoietin, all of which are natural hormones our body produces. There are other dopes in doping but these are the main ones when the media is making a shameful announcement of doping.We don’t think of naturally occurring hormones our body produces when one says the word “doping”. The intent is to have people shy away from these things not only in sports, but in general. Especially the way they are intended to work.I’m not hear to talk about doping. Today I’m going to talk about one of the dopes in doping, specificallyhuman growth hormone.

- #18 True HGH comes in a daily injectable only. Over the counter HGH gives a false reading of increase but later decreases because it’s not really HGH.It’s expensive but worth it.
