HGH: Antiaging Miracle Or Menace?
April 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Some doctors claim that you can actually become younger if you take growth hormone (HGH)Â or antioxidants. Do they work?
Growth hormone (HGH)Â stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans. It’s thought to increase muscle mass and stimulate the immune system, and it’s available only by prescription and has traditionally been given by doctors for extreme situations. Recently, some anti-aging doctors have been giving it to older patients in an effort to get them to grow younger and live longer. But there are significant health risks associated with taking it, including an increased risk of diabetes, excessive bone growth, and even possibly cancer. It’s true we produce lower levels of growth hormone as we age, but that may be adaptive: It’s possible that high levels of growth hormone in an older body raises the likelihood of developing cancer.
