In the past decades, men have been searching more diligently than ever for a ‘magic ingredient’ to make them stronger, younger and more potent overall. With the emergence of HGH, that finally seems to have become possible.
You must have seen the abbreviation HGH numerous times, notably in cases of professional athletes being accused of abusing it, but you’re still wondering what it means? HGH stands for human growth hormone, a substance similar to insulin, reportedly responsible for regeneration and ultimately rejuvenation of the whole body. HGH is a hormone naturally produced in the body, but whose quantities in the body are majorly reduced after the age of 30. Still, many reports suggest that using introducing additional amounts of the hormone to the body can help with many signs of aging, or should we say, complete bodily rejuvenation and the key to staying young for many years. HGH is said to improve metabolism, burn fat and increase muscle mass, among other things. It is produced by the pituitary gland and is responsible for growth, but also cell reproduction and regeneration, thus stimulating the entire system and helping with a number of issues. This is extremely popular with men who like to work out and use HGH to stay fit and in a good shape even when past their prime. Many cosmetic products for women are also known to contain HGH, as it improves skin elasticity and rejuvenates the organ. Most of all, HGH was very popular with the athletes, which used it to improve the overall body stamina and capabilities (among other known effects of HGH is calcium retention, which makes the bones stronger). However, its popularity withered once the tests for HGH were developed and many were punished for using it.
There are also quite a few problems with HGH. While some people report extraordinary results, and some claim using HGH made no effect at all, none of the reported miraculous effects of HGH on the body have been scientifically proven yet.
And since HGH is a hormone and a substance not to be casually meddled with, it is also known that HGH can cause rather severe effects on the body.
This is but one of the reasons why the hormone currently cannot be purchased at will, but could only be obtained with a prescription. Then there is the case for all the medical problems it could cause. HGH used to be derived from corpses, but this method was deemed unsafe, and nowadays it is produced in a similar way to insulin. This leaves many ways for manufacturers to be dishonest about the quality of product they are selling, and in best case, you might spend a lot of money purchasing a product that allegedly contains HGH, but has no effect at all. In more severe cases, HGH is able to stimulate abnormal organ, bone and cartilage growth, leading to serious health problems. In any case, consult your doctor before you start using hormones such as HGH.
