Frequently Asked Questions About HGH and HGH Therapies

What is HGH?

A: Human Growth Hormone, (somatotropin, also spelled as somatotrophin) is one of the main hormones of the body. It is responsible for our growth and development when we are children, and once we become adults it is still very important because it helps the adult body to rejuvenate and heal itself by building new, healthy cells to replace the damaged or old, worn out cells.

When we are children we have plenty of HGH, however, once we reach adulthood the pituitary gland's release of growth hormone begins decreasing and continues to decrease as age progresses.

Research has found that by increasing our human growth hormone back to a more youthful, healthy level we can decrease and reverse many of the effects of aging, improve our fitness, and even improve certain medical conditions.

What is IGF-1?

A: Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, also known as somatomedin C, is the main growth factor of HGH and is 10 times more potent. It is IGF-1 that gives us most of the benefits. Once growth hormone is released into the bloodstream it is taken in by the liver and converted into IGF-1 and other growth factors.

Is human growth hormone therapy safe?

A: After the enormous positive publicity of Dr. Rudman's study, articles began appearing that warned about the risks of human growth hormone. Of course too much of most things can cause harm, and much of the concern has been based on the abuse of the injections by athletes determined to enhance their body and performance in any way possible.

Also please keep in mind, the side effects mentioned have only been seen in patients taking too much synthetic human growth hormone via injection. Homeopathic HGH is much safer; it is said that homeopathy has never caused harm in the 200+ years of its existence.

Some say that only the HGH injections are effective, is this true?

A: As a licensed registered nurse for 26 years, the last 10 of those years being spent working with human growth hormone therapies, I tell you this is absolutely NOT true! All anyone has to do is read any of the books written about human growth hormone. These books are filled with information about taking non-injection products to help the pituitary gland increase its own release of growth hormone, which is what all non-injection products must do in order to be effective.
