Human Growth Hormone Therapy

HGH therapy can be very fruitful for some and harmful for others. This therapy is popular as they are known to slow down ageing process. However HGH products are costly and are not accessible to each and every one. The positive aspects of HGH therapy  include increase in muscle mass and reduction in fat, it also helps the immune system and vital organs in tackling with the issues of age by rejuvenating them and thereby reduce wrinkles, improve memory and eyesight etc. However damage of human protein, cardiovascular diseases etc. cannot be helped with the HGH therapy.

Human Growth Hormone, otherwise known as Somatropin is a protein consisting of 191 amino acids in a chain, and is secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. The hormone is now produced by recombinant DNA technology, though earlier it used to be extracted from the pituitary glands of cadavers. HGH injections which are either intramuscular or subcutaneous are more effective compared to sprays, tablets, or powder. 

HGH therapy is used to replace the growth hormone in children to increase the height of children, who are short due to stunted growth. Adults who exhibit the deficiency of this hormone suffer from lack of energy, low bone mass or even cardiovascular diseases. The reasons for the deficiency of the hormone can be genetic, or due to some damage in the pituitary gland by birth or later on in life. Large protein molecules that make up GH is subcutaneously injected into the blood stream in order to supplement the deficiency of the hormone, to increase the bone and muscle mass, improve lipid profile or relief from cardiovascular diseases.

Shortness is treated with HGH therapy, not only when it is caused by the deficiency of the hormone, but also when the shortness is caused due to other problems like chronic renal failure, intrauterine growth retardation etc. Though high doses of HGH are required for any dramatic increase in the growth, the therapy generally does not have any side effects. The effect of HGH on each individual varies and in some cases the people have exhibited symptoms of diabetes after the hormone was supplemented. HGH therapy is used in patients of AIDS whose muscle mass decrease considerably on account of the disease. Some other diseases that benefit due to this therapy include multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, short bowel syndrome, obesity etc.

The HGH supplements are available at any health store, and can also be bought on the internet. Many sites on the internet offer HGH products for sale at reasonable rates, and they also provide money back offers and such other rewards. Instead of the hormone being injected into the body, the tablets, spray and powder work as releasers to stimulate the pituitary gland to release the hormone. They are cheaper than injections are not dangerous. Herbal and Homeopathic HGH products are also available in the market, they act slowly as they are given in small doses, and are known to be much safer.
