Is HGH a Miracle Product?
HGH is often described as an anti-aging miracle product. HGH stands for human growth hormone and is produced by a gland in our brains. It carries out many important functions in our bodies when we are young. As the years tick by however the levels of the hormone go into decline, and we start to show signs of aging as they do so.
The theory goes that by topping up the levels of HGH in our bodies, the aging tide will be stemmed. A couple wrote a book in the nineties claiming that the HGH supplements combined with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise had done wonders for their health and energy levels. From then on, numerous products became suddenly available to buy claiming to be the ultimate in anti-aging therapy. The supplements generally come in a pill form, or spray, or for those with plenty of spare money then some private clinics do carry out courses of injections.
The medical profession never prescribe HGH to anyone for any other reason that if they have a genuine hormone deficiency which can halt growth among other things in the body. Many claim that results of tests prove inconclusive as they were not carried out for long enough or there are other explanations for the findings. There have been reports of some alarming side effects in the past such as diabetes and the development of carpal tunnel syndrome as well as plenty of joint pain. Even so, there are still plenty of people willing to give the supplements a try in the constant battle against aging.
