Growth hormone, or GH, has taken the sports and medical worlds by storm in the last 5 to 7 years. In the past few years, doctors have been prescribing this useful compound to their patients to help offset the effects of aging. Patients who use GH have noticed elevated energy levels, restored libido, gains in muscle mass and strength, loss of fat, and overall improved vitality, even at low doses. Medical professionals wrote about these effects, and word quickly spread to the sporting world, which had already been quietly using GH for years with elite athletes at the Olympian level. Soon many professional and college athletes were using GH. When trainers and ex-players of professional sports were arrested for various charges, they began using their knowledge of GH use in professional sports as a bargaining ...

Growth hormone (GH) is an amazing drug. It is used by world-class athletes and Regular Joe retirees alike. Its effects are appreciated by people form all walks of life. Growth hormone use causes increases in muscle mass and strength among users. It also works wonders for fat loss. Users of growth hormone can expect to look and feel younger and more energetic. However, as more and more people use growth hormone and more studies are completed, the effects of this compound upon the body become more and more clear. Emerging research has discovered growth hormone impairs insulin sensitivity in the body. Decreased insulin sensitivity can lead to cardiovascular disease or particularly, heart attacks and strokes. Therefore this becomes a huge issue for older people using growth hormone. Are the positive side effects ...

Growth hormone, or GH, is a compound known by many as the fountain of youth. Growth hormone has a distinct reputation among the three major groups of people who use it. For the elderly seeking to regain some of their youth, GH is a compound which provides new muscle mass and burns away fat gained by a lack of testosterone in the body. For the athlete hoping to gain an advantage on the field, GH allows for increased muscle mass and a significant drop in body fat, which is very helpful for being better (and faster) at most sports. For the man or woman in the gym hoping to make some modest gains, GH helps to increase strength and lean muscle mass, and eliminate body fat. Let’s learn more about the process by which GH ...

Growth hormone is typically injected once daily. It has a very short half-life, and it absorbed by the tissue of the body very quickly. Alternatively compounds such as testosterone esters are mixed with oil, or suspended. They are injected into muscle tissue, which allows them to last much longer in the body than growth hormone. Growth hormone, while highly effective and popular, does require these daily shots over time in order to become effective. Recent research has led scientists to the conclusion that growth hormone therapy takes several months of low-dose treatment in order to reach full effectiveness. Researchers are also realizing that 3-time per day shots of growth hormone cause its effectiveness to increase greatly. GH is absorbed into the bloodstream fairly quickly, and had a half-life of only a few hours. ...

In recent years, purchasing steroids from overseas has become a total crapshoot. Before 2001, as most may remember, most anabolic steroids were obtainable despite their being controlled substances. They didn’t receive nearly the scrutiny that street drugs did during the “War on Drugs”, and even when actually seized, a buyer rarely had to worry about being arrested for his confiscated wares. After 2001, and particularly after the great 2005 Mexican steroid bust, things have gotten extremely tight for buyers. First off, following the tragic events of 9/11 and the anthrax attacks, and the newfound government commitment to stopping illegal packages at our borders, security has tightened tremendously. Many more packages of powders are examined than used to be checked. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security has resulted in massive information databases to track overseas ...

In the 1960s, laboratory research led to the conclusion that anabolic steroids had little to now effect on muscle mass or strength. The testing was conducted upon untrained subjects, who consumed very small doses, certainly not enough to create any anabolic effect or growth. Later, researchers read enough muscle magazines to realize there must me “something” to it, and upped the dosages in testing subjects. Soon, there was a wealth of information available – from lab testing – which proved the anabolic nature and effectiveness of steroids. Some people never learn. We’re now forty years later, and the same debates are occurring regarding the use of growth hormone. Until recently, it had never been administered to a group of patients in large doses. Rather, the smaller doses, typically prescribed to the elderly fighting muscle-wasting ailments, ...

Q: What are the best GH brands and types? I am considering buying some and I just don’t know what to get. You can’t make heads or tails out of this question on any of the boards, because everyone has a favorite and swears by it. What’s the good word on hygentropin, fitropin, jintropin and generic blue tops? A: Jintropin out of China is about the best you can get. Ansomone is probably a second choice. The main things you want to know about GH is whether it’s legit, and also whether it’s 191aa. Fitropin is 192aa and not a standard GH – stay away from that. There are different GH substances out there and the 191 amino acid profile is the only choice. 192 aa just isn’t as pure, has more sides and is not a ...

There are many ways out there now to increase your Growth Hormone level. Many of them are unsafe if not controlled well. Things like homeopathic remedies, oral sprays, and colostrums can be received mostly without prescription; but doesn’t mean they are beneficial. It is proven that Growth Hormone levels or Somatotropin is a very beneficial hormone not just to bodybuilders but also to the population as a whole. There are many positives to increasing this level, Hormones act as the liaison of the body they pass messages to various endocrine glands through the blood. The messages for the Growth hormone are passed by the pituitary glands. The growth hormone increases tissue growth wanted when bodybuilding. Resistance training is a big part of increasing these levels in a safe and effective way. Eating ...

Q: My mom just got some Prednisone pills. On the package from the pharmacy, it says they are steroids. If I snuck a few of these, would I be able to make a cycle out of them and gain some size? I’ve never done steroids before, but I’d like to try. These came from her doctor so I can’t get busted for them! A: I think you misunderstand the term steroid. There are several classes of steroids. One is anabolic/ androgenic steroids, which is what the world of bodybuilding uses, one is female hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, and another is a group called “corticosteroids”, which is a class of steroids used for anti-inflammatory action. That’s the one your mother was prescribed. Prednisone is a corticosteroid, not an anabolic steroid, so it’s not going to help you add size ...

Synergy occurs when two elements are combined to create a total which is greater than the sum of their individual parts. In other words, 1 + 1 = 3. In bodybuilding, synergy occurs when two or more factors work together to create a compound effect, greater than the sum of the two factors individually. Bodybuilding synergy can be achieved in many ways. For example, proper nutrition and training have greater effects that either independently combined, etc. Chemically, it’s a much more complex ballgame, although one that can be studied and researched. Chemical synergy for bodybuilding can be achieved when testosterone and human growth hormone are used together. Their effect upon the body, when cycled together, are far greater than either could be alone or combined on different schedules. Growth hormone directly leads to muscle growth. It ...

Q: What is Sermorelin? Is it a supplement available over the counter, and just given an "official sounding" name like a lot of crap out there, or is it the real deal? hear it's more powerful than GH? A: Officially named GhRF 1-29 NH2-acetate, Sermorelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It is a drug, not a supplement with a fancy name. it was originally marketed for children with a GH deficiency, and alleviated the need to take GH, or was an analog to GH. However, it was withdrawn from the market for children. It failed in its applications when used in children, for the same reason it became known as a good therapy in adults. In actuality, it is a better alternative than GH-replacement for an adult male in his 30s or 40s. Sermorelin is regulated at the ...

Human growth hormone has become extremely popular in recent years. Until recently, it was very loosely monitored and dispensed freely by “anti-aging clinics”. Once it was discovered that men and women of all ages and walks of life – from young Olympia athlete, to professional football player, to active grandmother – were partaking in the HGH fountain of youth, its use was quickly regulated. Why is HGH so popular? Aside from its ability to boost lean muscle mass, increase energy levels, and reduce body fat, growth hormone is also highly effective at improving sports performance. In the last year, we’ve seen dozens of reports of professional football, baseball, hockey, and mixed martial arts athletes being caught for growth hormone usage. Why is it so popular with athletes? Growth hormone promotes faster recovery. In a sports world ...

Q: Are my legal risks for growth hormone the same as for steroids? A: Human growth hormone (hGH) is a natural hormone produced in the human body by the pituitary gland. It's available as a synthetically produced injectable drug, and has become a popular but expensive medication prescribed in anti-aging therapies and in the treatment of AIDS-related wasting. Bodybuilders may illicitly self-administer hGH to improve size and strength, usually by subcutaneous injection into the lower abdomen. Excessive or high-dose use can lead to significant or even dangerous side effects, like acromegaly (bone growth of the feet, jaw, forehead, etc.) and enlargement of the internal organs. Some of the brand names currently available are Genotropin®, Humatrope®, Nutropin®, Protropin®, Saizen®, Serostim® and Somatotropin®. Counterfeit products containing no real hGH have been identified on the black market, and have even shown up on pharmacy ...

Q:  Someone told me about a drug called “Bromocriptine” or Parlodel. Is it a steroid? And if so, how do you use it and why? A: Bromo is an anti-prolactin. Prolactin is a single-chain protein hormone closely related to growth hormone. It is secreted by so-called lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary. It is also synthesized and secreted by a broad range of other cells in the body, most prominently various immune cells, the brain and the decidua of the pregnant uterus. Prolactin is synthesized as a prohormone. But here’s the thing… Anyone who hears that something increases GH or synethsizes as a prohormone is all over it like white on rice as if that’s the end of the whole story. While we’ve heard some people report that it makes them very hard and helps minimize muscle loss from ...

Q:  I want to take GH just for fat loss, but I don’t know how much to take. What is the best dose to lose body fat? A: A lot depends upon how much you weigh, how much fat you need to lose and what time frame you have. GH does work relatively slowly on fat loss. Generally, the dose for fat loss for about a 160-180 pound person is about 2-4 iu’s.  Frankly 2 iu's a day, using a subcutaneous injections would do the trick for this weight. Taking 4 iu’s might be overkill. Don't expect immediate results, body composition changes occur after a month and up to 3 months. We think that injecting the iu’s into the fatty areas directly also has some benefit for fat loss. There’s no such thing as spot reduction in the ...

Q:  How long do side effects last from HGH?  People always talk about benefits but no one talks about side effects or duration.  I am experiencing some numbness in my hands and want to know if that is what it is from and how long it will last. A: Numbness and tingling are common sides of carpal tunnel more than GH. Compression of the median nerve is usually the issue with what you’re experiencing, not the side effects of GH or the length of them.  But, GH does cause a kind of hypertrophy of the flexor retinaculum, which is a fibrous structure on the underside of your wrist. The median nerve passes through there so can be constricted. So it can come from that. But it’s almost a chicken-egg issue. Which came first? Your abuse of your wrists ...
