HGH supplements and HGH injections

A controlled stimulation test is carried in order to identify human growth hormone deficiency. In the diagnosis pituitary gland is stimulated to secret some hormones. Once the human growth hormone deficiency is confirmed to present, various treatment or therapy is prescribed.

More often, human growth hormone deficiency can be treated by the use of HGH supplements. HGH supplements refers to the external growth hormone. One of the most reliable growth hormone is marketed by recombinant DNA. It is bigger protein molecule that must be injected which is accessed through our blood stream. With inject able supplication of human growth hormones, the effects are quicker. It is observed among the patients taking inject able growth hormones that they reduced fat mass, increased lean mass, increased bone density, improved lipid profile, reduced cardiovascular risk factors, and improved psychosocial well-being. For inject able growth hormones the risks of diabetes still continues, especially in those with other predispositions treated with higher doses. There are some kinds of HGH sprays available in the market. The response on HGH sprays are yet to be noticed widely from the market. 

Human growth hormone is commonly used to treat children. The treatment of children for growth is called enhancement therapy. Similarly, growth hormone has been used by some to enhance athletic performance. Although growth hormone therapy is generally safe, it is better to go through the therapy for a person being short in size or having any other growth deficiency. 

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) notes that worldwide sales of HGH products are estimated to be $1.5 billion to $2 billion, and up to 30 percent of HGH prescriptions in the U.S. are used for anti-aging and “athletic enhancement.” If you enter the terms human growth hormone and anti-aging together on the Google search engine, you will find over 1.7 million sites. There are thousands of clinics and doctors who prescribe growth hormone, calling their practice “anti-aging,” “regenerative” or “age management” medicine.
The financial cost is high. HGH injections are priced from $500 to $1,000 a month. HGH “supplements” in the form of pills and sprays that allegedly contain growth hormones cost between $200 and $300 a month. These “supplements” turn out to be a total waste of money. Growth hormone in this form is not biologically possible to be available, a medical term that means it’s destroyed when taken orally or absorbed through mucous membranes. It can’t “get into” the body in its active for and does absolutely nothing.  It must need to be injected in your body than spraying or taking a pill.

There is also a concern about the possibility of an increased cancer risk with long-term HGH treatment. The hormone induced by HGH, insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), promotes the growth of cells and prevents them from dying. And that’s exactly what cancer cells do — they grow wildly and don’t die. One must take human growth hormone in the inject-able form only when he is going under therapeutic treatment under a doctor or medical guidance.
