Growth Hormone Background

From conception, HORMONES, which are produced by the endocrine glands, serve as messengers from your brain, telling, your organs how to function. A decrease in the production of hormones begins in middle age and continues to be diminished in a linear fashion until old age.

The NIA (National Institute on aging) has comissioned several major US universities to study this phenomenon. At this point there are too many side effects and unknown long term effects for me to recommend HGH supplemtation to my patients for more than short term use for example when recovering from a stroke or other physically incapacitating illness.

Side effects of excessive Human Growth Hormone range from enlarged omentum, elongated feet, big nose and ears, and increased cancer risk.
