60 Minutes reporter Steve Kroft interviewed anti-aging physician Alan Mintz who uses and prescribes HGH:
(CBS) Dr. Alan Mintz, 67, says he feels great. He should. He’s a leading doctor in the new multi-billion-dollar field known as anti-aging medicine. But besides good diet and exercise, Dr. Mintz and a number of his patients take small doses of human growth hormone (HGH) - a drug whose distribution or marketing for anti-aging uses is illegal, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Dr. Mintz says his practice is entirely legal because he only prescribes for patients who are deficient in that hormone (HGH).
Mintz says taking HGH and other hormones, such as testosterone, build muscle mass, reduce fat and fight osteoporosis. That’s because they replenish those same compounds that are produced by the human body but diminish with age. They also promote a good sex life, mental acuity and increase energy, he says.
“This is not about the fountain of youth … It’s about staying in charge of my life and being productive,” says Mintz, who says his patients include movie stars, CEOs and the president of a foreign country.
“People are looking to feel better,” Mintz tells Kroft. “They’re tired of hearing, ‘I’m getting old. There’s nothing you can do. Just live with it.’ “
