You've probably been hearing and reading a lot about Human Growth Hormone recently. Ever since Jose Canseco's outing of several prominent professional baseball players and the steroid regimen employed by these athletes, there has been more attention paid to Human Growth Hormone recently than in years past.
Human Growth Hormone is a protein produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the liver to produce somatomedins, which causes the growth of bone and muscle. There is an ongoing debate as to whether Human Growth Hormone therapy is beneficial or perhaps dangerous.

During our earliest years and adolescence, our pituitary secretes a great deal of HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE, which helps us grow tall and develop. Sometime during our late teens, Human Growth Hormone secretion begins to decline, and by the time we're in our forties and fifties, we produce very little Human Growth Hormone and certain signs and symptoms of aging begin to manifest themselves. Our skin begins to wrinkle, our bodies lose muscle tone if we're no longer exercising, and our energy levels begin to decrease.

Proponents of Human Growth Hormone therapy argue that we should fight mother nature by shooting up with Human Growth Hormone once we reach a certain age, but that a doctor should administer the hormone treatment so that it's done safely and effectively. Opponents of Human Growth Hormone supplementation argue that by increasing one's level of Human Growth Hormone to levels that are unnatural or not needed for an older person, dangerous and perhaps lethal side effects will occur. However, there is little or no evidence to support that modest Human Growth Hormone supplementation can cause cancer or any other deadly diseases. Most doctors argue that Human Growth Hormone needs to decline as we age, as this is probably our body's way of trying to prolong our life span; if we continued to produce as much Human Growth Hormone when we're 50 as we did when we were 12, we'd probably keel over and die and wouldn't live to be 50 in the first place. So, a decline in Human Growth Hormone is something that every one of us experience, the question is whether it's something we should accept.

Some people are born with insufficient Human Growth Hormone production to sustain normal growth, which is associated with conditions such as dwarfism. Hyperglycemia is also associated with Human Growth Hormone deficiency. For these individuals, Human Growth Hormone therapy is sometimes a medical necessity.

Sales of Human Growth Hormone products on the internet has exploded over the past 3 years. There are many different forms of Human Growth Hormone supplements sold online, ranging from natural and homeopathic Human Growth Hormone to actual needles with a vial of Human Growth Hormone that can be shipped to you through the mail (this is illegal - it's illegal to sell or distribute Human Growth Hormone without a prescription, but it's legal to buy and sell homeopathic Human Growth Hormone without a prescription, as homeopathic versions don't really have any Human Growth Hormone in them. Homeopathic Human Growth Hormone is just diluted Human Growth Hormone meant to stimulate your body to produce Human Growth Hormone on its own if your current levels are below normal for someone your age).

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) have joined together to wipe out the sales of illegal Human Growth Hormone products online. The FTC began contacting illicit Human Growth Hormone distributors during the year 2005, launching a massive crackdown on all Human Growth Hormone sold without a prescription and any products, homeopathic or not, that make erroneous claims or make specific statements about the efficacy or performance of the product without a clinical trial.

As a result of their efforts, the FTC has won several judgements against some of these internet companies, levying fines in excess of $10 million dollars against one company, and millions of dollars in total fines against several other companies. There are still quite a few companies that refuse to listen to the FTC, choosing instead to continue to sell their products and fight it out in court.

Most doctors concur that the best course of action for the consumer is to only use homeopathic Human Growth Hormone as part of your anti-aging therapy routine. These products are universally recognized as being safe because they basically contain no Human Growth Hormone and instead stimulate your pituitary to produce Human Growth Hormone only if you're deficient for a normal person your age. Don't buy inject able Human Growth Hormone through the mail or on the internet, first of all because it's illegal, and also because the suppliers are often unscrupulous and have an incentive to sell you an inferior product due to the fact that inject able Human Growth Hormone administered at a clinic with a prescription can cost from $10,000 - $30,000 per month, making it unaffordable to most, whereas some internet hucksters retail it at $200 for a one month supply. So, be cautious and careful when buying Human Growth Hormone supplements online.
