HGH Injections: Hefty Price For Good Looks
July 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Tens of thousands of people here in the U.S. are injecting hgh. Is there a down side?
According to a 2005 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, between 20,000 and 30,000 people used growth hormone (hgh) as an anti-aging therapy in 2004—a tenfold increase from the mid-1990s. Another researcher, Dr. Mary Lee Vance of the University of Virginia, has estimated that 30 percent of growth hormone prescriptions in the U.S. are for reasons not approved by the FDA. The price tag for such treatment is hefty: often more than $1,000 per month.

HGH 101

What is HGH, and why is it so important?Â
Natural HGH is manufactured by the pituitary gland, a structure about the size of a small grape located at the base of the brain. Its main job is to stimulate the production of bone, muscle and cartilage in growing children. Hence, the hormone is most active during childhood and adolescence when the body is still developing. After the age of 20, however, HGH production starts to drop off, and continues falling throughout adulthood into old age.

Low HGH Levels: Normal Part of Aging
January 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
 Adding an HGH product to our daily regimen may help fight signs of aging. But do low HGH levels necessarily mean we need to respond at all? MSNBC takes a look:
The body naturally makes human growth hormone. A product of the pituitary—a small pea-sized gland at the base of the brain—HGH is critical for normal childhood development. But by the time people reach their 30s, their bodies begin to produce progressively less of it. A man in his 70s, for instance, may generate only one third to one half of the HGH he used to generate in his 20s. Doctors may prescribe growth hormone injections for patients with abnormally low HGH levels, like people who suffer from dwarfism or chronic wasting disease. But for the most part, declining HGH production is simply a part of aging—and not necessarily a bad thing, medical experts say.

HGH:The Breakthrough Study
January 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Where did all the interest in HGHÂ come from? MSNBC takes a look at where it all started:Â
   The current boom in HGH use traces its roots to a 1990 article in the New England Journal of Medicine.
 In it, researchers presented the results of a study in which 12 men over the age of 60 received regular HGH injections and demonstrated increases in lean body mass and bone density. The authors didn’t claim that the treatment reversed the aging process, and an editorial note warned against widespread use of growth hormone. Yet, the study helped spawn a bevy of anti-aging clinics and a surge in HGH sales.
According to a 2005 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, between 20,000 and 30,000 people used HGH as an anti-aging therapy in 2004—a tenfold increase from the mid-1990s.
