Using Medicine To Slow The Effects Of Aging

By Chris Channing

Men have learned early that there are two things that one should never ask them their weight, and their age. It seems that perhaps women and men alike might have access to a very real anti-aging treatment called HGH, or human growth hormone. The studies have shown positive results, but there are still points of concern to consider.

What some scientists claim as responsible for aging is the human growth hormone, or more specifically the lack of it as we grow older. During younger years, we produce quite a bit of this substance. As we age, it steadily reaches a lower point with each coming year. Scientists have conducted studies that prove that injecting HGH into aging test patients has result in some amazing discoveries in human science.

So far studies show that there is a fine line in using HGH and using too much of it. Test subjects who received too much of HGH were more susceptible to prostate or breast cancer among other things. But then again, not having enough of human growth hormone in the body results in severe energy loss and decrease in muscle mass. To get the right balance, an experienced professional in medicine will be needed for best results.

Even though the studies have only been conducted on a short time period, already we are seeing some of the glorious effects that HGH can have on the body and in anti-aging. For most test subjects, taking human growth hormone actually resulted in larger muscle mass and less fat content while still leading the same lifestyle they had previously. While this is truly amazing, it also didn't necessarily mean they were stronger than what they were previously.

Those who may have AIDS will likely be familiar with the drug- it's used to help prevent the effects of AIDS on the human body. In fact, this is what the majority of drug applications of human growth hormone account for. The FDA of the United States currently confirms that to take HGH, one must have a proven health condition and a recommendation from a doctor to take the drug. Other uses, such as to increase sports endurance, are currently considered illegal in the United States.

Be wary of places that sell HGH. You should first do research or ask a physician to see whether or not the drug is legal to take for your own personal reasons. If it is, you should continue to consult physicians and perhaps go online to get a good deal on the drug.

Closing Comments

To see if you qualify for HGH, your best bet is to talk to a qualified doctor. Only a doctor will have the right information on where to obtain it in a legal manner, how to use the drug safely, and how to reap the effects of this wonderful drug without causing harm. - 16036
