| Re: Human Growth Hormone
True HGH is taken via injection, as posted several times before my post.
While it is expensive, it is a medical treatment and is covered under most insurance plans.
If you are seeking to use this to gain 2 inches, no reputable doctor will prescribe this for you.
If you are over 5' - you simply dont have a need.
HGH is used for several reasons but the main is to help with growth (as in stature)
My daughter began getting daily injections at age 8, due primarily to lack of growth. Her bone age was at 5.5 and in the span of 3 yrs, she grew less than 1 inch and at that rate, would never get over 4'5".
The side effects for her included precocious puberty (which meant having to receive another injection to stop this specific side effect), increased appetite, increased energy, mood swings, occasional headaches (which continued long after she stopped receiving the injections) ... oh, and it also did wonders for her muscular system.
It took over half a year to see the initial results and she continued to receive these injection up until she began puberty ...
puberty gave her minimal height, far less than we hoped but due to her having had the HGH injections and the little boost from puberty she managed to reach 5'2" and we are thrilled...and truth be told, we would have been happy if she had reached 4'10"+
Her Endocrinologist told us that the so called HGH pills out there today would have done nothing to help her grow and arent worth buying.
He said people will swear it works but there is no scientific data to back up their claims, no reputable studies, nadda!! ... and as a result, are not even considered as an option in treatment of delayed growth.
