This is so idiotic. GH in no way, shape, or form gives you a competitive advantage other than healing faster. It doesn't make you stronger, or faster. It just allows you to recover quicker from an injury. Our sports governing bodies are completely ****ing stupid. |

There are three major effects of HGH that are desirable for bodybuilders and athletes. First, HGH promotes the development of new muscle cells. A person's number of muscle cells is determined by genetics. After puberty, the level of GH a person's body secretes declines, and muscle cell development ceases. A person can then only work to increase the size of these cells through weight training. ...and umm.... As a pharmaceutical drug, HGH is used for many different conditions, including GH deficiency. It is prescribed by endocrinologists most often for children who suffer with growth reerunation or deficiency. For this purpose, HGH treatment is FDA-approved. However, HGH is not FDA-approved as a performance or physical enhancement drug in adults. Therefore, persons seeking to use HGH for these purposes must purchase HGH on the black market. |

Yeah it is called Human Growth Hormone for a reason. It is a peptide hormone which stimulates growth, cell reproduction. Bodybuilders use it for a couple of reasons. It helps build muscle mass and it can also help in wieght loss depending on how it is used. It is also being linked to anti-aging. |

I read an article from someone who had a physician prescribe him various supplements, steroids, HGH, etc. According to him HGH was the best at making you feel younger - more energy, improved eyesight, etc.

PR Stunt.
By all accounts, there is no reliable method of testing for HGH anyway. The guys that use it are going to be able to mask/cycle around testing as it is. I'd be shocked if someone ever actually popped positive for it unless it was a minor leaguer that was just grabbing it from a guy selling it off a donkey or something. The chemists that create the stuff are way ahead of the testing protocols for it. |
