How many growth hormone claims have you seen tied to setting back the biological clock? The claims have sprouted all over in the last decade as our population continues to grow older. As people grow older, they still want to preserve the same quality of life they had in the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Therefore, Human Growth Hormone to the rescue! Maybe not!

It is estimated that between 25,000 and 30,000 Americans used human growth hormone in 2004 in an attempt to turn back the clock. According to a recent study on elderly individuals, HGH doesn’t turn back the clock. It was shown to increase muscle tissue, and decrease fat, but it did not have an effect on bone density, lipid profiles, or other fitness related measures. The conclusion is growth hormone does not help you live longer. The long term use risks are not completely understood at the present time. BEWARE!
