HGH For children.

[MercyDog]

Hey bros, need some info. I'm not a fan of doctors know everything and I know there's more knowledge here than 99.9% of doctors when it comes to hormones.

So, a very close friend of mine married a small petite girl and one of his 3 children (male) seems to be quite stunted in his growth. Check this, the doc says when he gets around 14 he can run HGH to bring him over genetics and into growth. They also said it would be a little more than $30,000 a year. This isn't a case of people trying to make a giant powerful kid, this is science to get him above 5 foot in adult hood. What do you vets think about this and what ages it should apply, ect.,ect.,ect........I know how it works for us adults but have no clue how it works in growth for the youth. Thanks

very nice article. Did I read it correct??????????If its a natural genetic thing treatment is very minimal as far as results go, but they didn't go into studies of which someone would be naturally lacking the hormone? Can a person get this test in bloodwork? His moms short but dads 5-11

HGH Test Results
By Kristy Annely


Growth hormone test results highlight growth deficiencies, reduced pituitary gland function and pituitary tumors. HGH tests include the somatotropin hormone test, growth hormone suppression test, somatomedin C, and growth hormone stimulation test.

Somatotropin test is used to identify HGH deficiency as well as excess. The blood sample for somatotropin test is taken one hour after sleep for more accurate readings. The normal HGH level for men is 5 ng/ml; that for women is less than 10 ng/ml; for children it is 10 ng/ml; and for newborns the range is 10-40 ng/ml. Excess HGH levels indicate gigantism and acr*****ly. A decrease in the level indicates HGH deficiency and dwarfism.

Somatomedin C or insulin-like growth factor is considered as the accurate indicator of HGH level in blood. Somatomedin C test is used to detect pituitary abnormalities and acr*****ly. The blood test result is not affected by time, activity and diet. The normal test result for HGH level in adults is 42-110 ng/ml. 7-110 ng/ml is the ideal test result for girls in the age group 0 - 8, whereas for boys it is 4-87 ng/ml. For girls in the age group of 9-10 years, the ideal level is 39-186 ng/ml and for boys it is 26-98 ng/ml. In 11-13 age group, normal test result for girls is 66-215 ng/ml and for boys 44-207 ng/ml. An excess level of HGH indicates gigantism and acr*****ly.

Growth hormone stimulation test is also known as insulin tolerance or arginine test which checks the body?s ability to produce human growth hormone. A substance known as HGH releasing factor is used for HGH stimulation. In this test, frequent blood samples are taken after injection of insulin. Growth hormone stimulation test gives more accurate results for HGH deficiency. In this test, the normal test result for HGH level is 10 ng/ml. A decrease in HGH levels shows pituitary deficiency.

Growth hormone suppression test is also known as glucose loading test. This test is used to evaluate the excess baseline level of human growth hormone. Two different blood samples are taken in this test. The first sample is taken before giving glucose and the second sample is taken two hours after glucose ingestion. The HGH level is based on the glucose loading. The normal test result for suppressed HGH level is 3 ng/ml. The suppressed base HGH level of 5 ng/ml shows acr*****ly syndrome.

"An excess level of HGH indicates gigantism and acr*****ly."

so it does work, now I'm confused

What exactly is the question? Absolutely it works in children. Human growth hormone is, as it says a natural hormone that all of us produce to some extent throughout life. When we are younger, before the epiphysis (growth plates) of the bones fuse which takes place sometime between 18-22 usually, HGH causes lengthening of the long bones of the body, including femur, humerus, etc. This increases height.
After adulthood, HGH will NOT make anyone taller, but rather contributes to maintenance of lean body mass and various other functions. An excess of HGH, as you can see in some bodybuilders, as well as people with pituitary adenomas (think Lerch, or Anthony Robbins) develop growth of their flat bones and get enlarged hands, feet, jaws and foreheads. Also, an excess will eventually give you Diabetes as well as make you paradoxically WEAK, though you are large.
These are just a few facts on the condition known as acr*****ly, which is an excess of HGH after adulthood.

So, yes, it is medically approved and safe under proper supervision for growing children to have it supplemented.

(I agree that many MD's are ignorant of many things outside of the "party line" taught at medical school... but I am not one of them, and I would assume Scibble also.)

I remember in high school this girl was telling me that docs precibed her medications to make her taller because she had such a small petite figure.

She said she stopped because she started getting nausea and sick stomach all the time. Not sure if it was HGH or not.

do some research and you'll find that hgh will only work in this manner if used at the begining of puberty and taken througout. it is by no means 100% effective for everyone but it can help in some cases. your definatly not going to add a foot to your genetic limitations but a few inches in some cases are not out of the ordinary. $20,000 is about right but if i were in there shoes i would take the script and order from gensci or another cheaper asian supplier
