HGH Hormone benefits, truth or lies?
Research conducted in the 1990’s using Human Growth Hormones (HGH) on elderly participants produced positive results in several areas. These results indicated an increase in muscle mass and decrease of fatty tissue for subjects over 60 years of age. HGH Hormones are produced naturally by the pituitary gland located at the anterior of the brain. This gland releases hormones to stimulate growth of both skeletal muscle and long bone by increasing the size and number of relevant cells. HGH Hormones also plays a role in glycogen and insulin level regulation. During our younger years, HGH Hormones are produced in abundance however thee numbers decline to a minute amount as we reach retirement years of 60+. It has been lead to believe that HGH Hormones are an anti-aging supplement, theoretically revitalising the body and slowing the aging process.
Since these favourable results from the 1990 USA Medical Journal study, a flood of HGH Hormone products have entered the market. These products are offered in three main application forms. First is the most inexpensive choice, the HGH Hormone Spray which claims to be the most effortless manner of application. Purchases of Sprays should note that no research has proven the absorption of the Hormones through the mouth or nose lining into the blood. The second method of application is the most common, via pills or tablets and is also relatively inexpensive. These two product applications can be easily purchased online. The last option is through HGH Hormone injection. Option three is the most expensive and is commonly done under clinical conditions. Physicians’ rarely recommend HGH Hormone Supplements for anti-aging properties and restrict injection applications to children with HGH Hormone deficiencies such as hypo-secretion causing dwarfism.
During 2007, the Stanford University School of Medicine preformed further research of HGH Hormones to rate their anti aging properties. This study showed no direct link to increases in muscular strength, leading to the assumption that the muscle growth was due to water retention. However this did not explain the accelerate rate of fat reduction. The anti-aging affects of HGH Hormones has not been scientifically proven. There is no conclusive evidence suggesting that HGH supplements will raise levels of HGH Hormone levels or that raised levels would be beneficial to the applicant.
Continual, unsupervised use of HGH Hormone supplements have provided some disturbing reports of side effects. These side effects can range from common joint pain and swelling, confirmed in the 1990 study, to carpal tunnel syndrome and an increased risk of diabetes. The worst know side effect of prolonged HGH Hormone use is psychological damage manifesting itself as dual personality disorder, which may lead to random violent acts.
The opinions and research conclusions of HGH Hormone benefits are split evenly among the medical community. More research into the topic is essential for the product to gain favourable recognition by the majority. However this does not conclude that there are no benefits to the use of HGH Hormones, only that the suitability of the product is on an individual basis.
