HGH/growth hormones...whats ur opinior?

HGH is a growth hormone produced naturally in the body. There is really only two ways to get more growth hormone:
#1 - get it injected on weekly basis into your bloodstream (costs about $1000 a month)
#2 - increase your natural HGH production with thoughtful exercise practice
Most semi-effective straight up growth hormone is done sublingually. However, HGH is the largest amino acid chain in the body (73 aminos I think) and it's very unlikely that getting even a fraction of it sublingually is possible. If it was, diabetics wouldn't need intravenal insulin shots -- they would just put a pill under their tongue - and technology for diabetes is a lot farther along than HGH supplements, I assure you.
So, basically, while HGH is VERY GOOD FOR YOU, you're unlikely to increase your body's HGH even negligibly through supplementation.

the boosters do nothing...dont waste your money
i knew a guy who injected HGH. i havent a clue where he got it or where he got the obscene amount of money for it. he went from 6'3 180 to 6'3 210+. never liked the guy though...he was a real jerk...i have a feeling his injecting of an illegal substance with potentially harmful side effects will someday bring a much needed kick in the ass from old man karma.

I don't know about all that. HGH is something your body produces naturally and as you get older, you produce just as much but for some reason you ABSORB less. Injecting once a week is more likely to bring you to levels you had when you were younger than overload you.
Studies have shown HGH injections to be very effective at revitalizing the body - but like I said, extremely expensive. That's just based on the research I'm aware of.
