Human Growth Hormone

HGH (human growth hormone) is a substance found naturally in the human body. HGH is produced in the anterior of the pituitary gland, and regulates the growth of bones, cells, organs and muscles. This is one of the most abundant hormones in the human body. HGH is used medically to treat deficiencies in children and adults. HGH is also being investigated for its regenerative properties in the fight against aging. HGH has been proven to decrease weight, increase lean muscle mass, improve elasticity in the skin among other regenerative properties. This hormone is still a mystery as to how it functions on a molecular level.

HGH is also used as an anabolic steroid by body builders. This supplement when taken in conjunction with a weight training program can increase lean muscle mass. HGH is a legal steroid but is banned from use at many competitions. HGH is usually taken as part of a stack of steroids that are geared at increasing muscle mass. Resistance training and the use of weights can only take the body so far, HGH and other anabolic steroids increases the results. Supplements in body building is not new. Protein, carbohydrates and other food supplements have been around for years, actually using HGH as an anabolic steroid has been a prevalent activity amongst body builders since the 1970’s. The use was banned but unenforceable because testing could not detect unusually high levels of HGH until around 2000. HGH is inject able and is used in cycles by bodybuilders. The side effects of HGH are relatively unknown, because typically when HGH is used as a body building supplement they are used with other hormones. Anabolic steroids are usually grouped together. HGH is used safely in many medical settings and there is not any indication that the use of HGH cannot cross over into cosmetics, anti-aging serums and as a legitimate body building supplement.

Sytropin Oral HGH is a synthetic alternative to prescription HGH. It is taken orally as a supplement. There are other alternatives as well to HGH but none have really proven to be effective. Studies have not indicated if these alternatives have any negative side effects.

HGH as a supplement to body building may over time become an accepted option, but for now it is typically black listed and considered doping if used.
