Thread: What Is Human Growth Hormone and risks you should be aware of:

What Is Human Growth Hormone?

You may have heard of something called Human Growth Hormone, or hGH, in relation to sports supplements and maybe even related to steroids. Like steroids, hGH is only legal when prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition. Doctors prescribe hGH for people whose bodies don't naturally make enough growth hormone, a condition known as growth hormone deficiency. However, recent trends show an increase in growth hormone being abused as an athletic supplement.A lot of myths surround hGH and its effects on athletes. As with steroids, there is absolutely no evidence that growth hormone helps to improve athletic performance. Here are some risks you should be aware of:

• Any type of hGH that is not obtained by prescription is not regulated by the government and could be almost anything.
• If you buy what may be called "growth hormone," "growth stimulators," or "growth factors" online, it's likely they're not really hGH. Many websites claim to be selling growth hormone, but they're really selling amino acids that don't significantly increase growth hormone levels in your body.
• If the false claims of performance benefits from hGH don't bother you, the price probably will — $5,000 for a month's prescription, meaning that the street value for just a month could run anywhere from $5,000-$10,000.
• Because growth hormone can only be injected, like some steroids, there's a risk of contracting HIV or other diseases (like hepatitis) if people share needles.

I appreciate the post, reminders are always good about the consequences that can happen if we let our guard down or hurry through the process. Thanks dark side fitness!

Who shares pins? Lets be honest here... pretty sure we can rule out people dropping thousands of dollars on growth are not gonna be too cheap to buy pins which cost like $0.20 a piece.

And yes a prescription may cost $5000 a month through a clinic, but on the underground you can generally get decent kits for under $300 so by your logic a month of growth on a $5000 budget would afford you just under 17 kits, giving a daily allowance of 55.5 iu. Or 111 iu/day for 10 grand a month. Far from necessary. Ordering from a trusted source here will alleviate another potential "risk" you mentioned.

Not arguing that people should run growth.. just saying I dont really agree with what was stated. Personally I stick to oil

Lmao good point , but the post is 5yrs old so maybe hgh wasnt available back then like it is now ....but you did make me laugh

Oh shit I didnt even see the post date. Very likely that's the reasoning for the outdated content. My apologies for that oversight. I stand by my statement though. Haha
