HGH (Human Growth Hormone) The Answer to a Prayer for the Overweight?

A "new wonder supplement" has appeared on the scene with false promises of easy weight loss and more. HGH, human growth hormone, is said to increase muscle, boost stamina and decrease fat and who could ask for anything more. But before you begin your investigation to find where hGH weight loss injections can be found, let me tell you the whole story.

Those exciting hGH weight loss injections will cost you about 15,000 a year and can only be received with a prescription. Finding a doctor to prescribe and administer the hGH may not be easy unless you already have a relationship with an unscrupulous doctor.

Are the claims about hGH and weight loss true? Supporters say that hGH is practically a fountain of youth; benefits include increases in strength, energy, muscle mass, and immunity. The fact that the human body produces hGH in the pituitary gland makes it appear safe and natural. Our bodies use testosterone and estrogen in combination with hGH to initiate puberty and maturation in adolescence and later use it to maintain our tissues and organs. What could possible be wrong a hGH weight loss program?

The problem with hGH and weight loss is that we don’t know for sure what all the potential side effects are and what we do know doesn’t look good. HGH weight loss can be accompanied by an increase in glucose intolerance and diabetes for men which makes the cure (hGH weight loss) worse then the disease (being over weight). Women volunteers who took hGH were spared the glucose intolerance but instead were prone to developing edema. If the price of losing fat is to gain water weight where is the advantage?

Side effects common to both men and women who volunteered for a test study for hGH were joint pain, swelling and, oddly enough, carpal tunnel syndrome. All of the side effects abated within two to six weeks once the treatments were discontinued.

It looks like the hgh weight loss silver bullet isn’t quite here yet but may be on the way but don’t take it from me. Here is what an expert says. According to Dr. Marc Blackman, Associate Chief of Staff, at the Research & Development Veterans Affairs Medical Center, “…. (hGH) may one day be a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment of certain age-related conditions, it is not ready for prime time.

In spite of the evidence being non-conclusive and the side effect only partially explored may people have already begun to spend lots of money on hGH hoping to discover what is the quickest way to lose weight. However, with the short term side effects that are known and the long term side effects yet to be determined, the risks may be more costly then they know.
