human growth hormone jintropinIn the last few years, human growth hormone (HGH) has overshadowed almost every other performance enhancing drug as far as on-field performance and body strength improvements are concerned. This is not just because it can dramatically increase body strength and promote healthy weight, but also because it is extremely potent to decrease muscle loss during off periods.

HGH And Medical Uses

Synthetic human growth hormone is recommended for a number of medical complications. HGH is used for treating children born too small for gestational age and providing relief to patients diagnosed with chronic kidney insufficiency. It is also recommended to treat Turner's syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects development of the female child.

Human growth hormone is routinely prescribed to treat Prader-Willi syndrome, an uncommon genetic disorder causing poor muscle tone, low levels of sex hormones, and a constant feeling of hunger. HGH may also be advised for treating muscle-wasting disease associated with HIV/AIDS. It may also be advised to those diagnosed with Short bowel syndrome, a condition in which nutrients are not properly absorbed due to severe intestinal disease or the surgical removal of a large portion of the small intestine.

It is also suggested for the treatment of pediatric patients who have growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone. It is also used for treating growth failure associated with Turner syndrome in patients who have open epiphyses. HGH may also be prescribed to patients who were growth hormone deficient during childhood as a result of congenital, genetic, acquired, or idiopathic causes.

HGH and Bodybuilding

One of the biggest advantages of HGH is that new muscle gains with this drug can positively alter the genetic capabilities of users, something that would not be possible without HGH treatment. Furthermore, it can strengthen joints and ligaments and heal damaged tissue. Also, HGH being a natural substance cannot be easily detected as other performance performing substances. Athletes and bodybuilders often use HGH along with anabolic steroids to improve athletic performance and build muscle. It is also believed that the use of synthetic human growth hormone can reverse age-related bodily deterioration.

HGH is also used by athletes for turning back body's biological clock, reducing fat, building muscle, restoring hair growth and color, and strengthening the immune system. HGH use can also be associated with normalizing blood sugar, increasing energy and improving sex life, sleep quality, vision, and memory. The use of HGH is also linked with improvement on resistance to common illness, wrinkle disappearance, new hair growth, skin texture, skin elasticity, and skin thickness.

In addition to these unmatched advantages, human growth hormone can improve menstrual cycle regulation and frequency of nighttime urination besides improving calcium retention, cognitive abilities, and energy from fat breakdown.

The recommended dose of human growth hormone (HGH) is 1-5 I.U. every day when administered via a 1 mL disposable syringe. A dose of 4-8 IUs per day is advised to those looking for lean muscle gains and improving body composition. The addition of insulin, testosterone and low-dose T3 is highly recommended to reap the optimum advantages of human growth hormone. A HGH only cycle is best done every day for the first two months to elevate IGF-1 levels and then the dosage scheduled can be rearranged to five days a week. Injectable HGH may be used once or twice a day for a normal cycle of 5-8 months in length.

HGH is best purchased with a valid prescription from a legal and reputed medical store or steroid pharmacy. Human growth hormone is best taken intravenously though it may be used in a lyophilized powder form and mixed with distilled water prior to injection. HGH must be kept refrigerated after mixing. One can even purchase HGH supplements including pills and tablets, and spray products.

The abuse or overdosing of human growth hormone can lead to side effects such as carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness and tingling of the skin, increased risk of diabetes, and swelling due to fluid in the body's tissues (edema). It may also result in muscle, nerve, or joint pain or growth of cancerous tumors in extremely rare cases.

The use of HGH is not advised to pregnant or lactating women or women who may become pregnant while taking human growth hormone. Human growth hormone is also not recommended to children or those suffering from high blood pressure, stroke, kidney damage, liver damage, prostate cancer, breast cancer, or testicular cancer.

HGH is also not recommended to those having allergy to HGH or any of its ingredients. It is also not recommended to individuals diagnosed for high blood fats (cholesterol), bone problems (such as osteopenia, osteoporosis), stroke or blood clots, and heart diseases (such as chest pain, heart attack, heart failure). It should not be used for growth promotion in pediatric patients with closed epiphyses and is not advised to patients with active proliferative or severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. HGH should not be used to treat patients with acute critical illness due to complications following open heart surgery, abdominal surgery, or multiple accidental trauma, or those with acute respiratory failure.

During HGH therapy, some patients may experience an increase in the serum levels of inorganic phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and IGF-I. HGH inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD-1) in adipose/hepatic tissue and may significantly impact the metabolism of cortisol and cortisone. It is very important to note that patients treated with glucocorticoid replacement therapy for previously diagnosed hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses. HGH must only be purchased and used for medicinal purposes and its use should be directed by physicians who are experienced in the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency and Turner syndrome, or adult patients with either childhood-onset or adult-onset growth hormone deficiency.
