In 2006, the FDA passed a law prohibiting the prescribing of hGH for off-label purposes (I think with the exception of pediatric micropenis). Some doctors get away with it though and others don't. The FDA wants adult GH deficiency proven through an insulin stimulation test which many doctors feel is dangerous (this would be done to confirm a low IGF-1/sometimes C level).
Edit: that should say "somatomedin C"Last edited by AnabolicDoc; 02-24-2013 at 08:57 AM.

^^^Serostim is indicated to prevent muscle wasting in HIV patients and is probably the most common US pharm GH on the black market by far.

I don't think so. In the 1990s, a radiologist named Dr. Alan Mintz was on 20/20 for prescribing hGH to older patients for anti-aging purposes. The practice of hGH for anti-aging slowly grew and the FDA passed the law in 2006 in response to the growing use of off label hGH prescription to adults. Enforcement seems to be arbitrary however as there are plenty of doctors who still prescribe hGH to older patients on only the basis of low IGF-1 levels and get away with it.
Bc GH secretion is pulsatile in men (with the greatest pulse around midnight and levels declining after age 30) most men tested will have low IGF-1 levels if tested only once - the older you are, the more likely you are to test low. Some doctors used to do a confirmatory stimulation test with sermorelin (GHRH analog) combined with arginine (as this was the popular confirmatory test for GH deficiency in pediatric patients) but the production of sermorelin was stopped in 2008 by the company itself for no specific reason. Sermorelin is still available via certain compounding pharmacies but it's not widely available.
Since the FDA passed that law in 2006, many anti-aging clinics switched from hGH to the use of sermorelin. Some are even compounding it with other peptides, like ghrp-6. So it doesn't look like things are changing any time soon regarding hGH. There is still a lot of opposition to the growing use of TRT and I wonder if that will become more tightly regulated. I certainly hope not.

The consensus opinion seems to be that there is no harm to correcting deficient GH levels. But the concern is that excessive doses of GH are harmful bc of the potential to cause diabetes, increase the growth of tumours, and some additional less important problems (such as carpal tunnel syndrome). It is also widely believed (and this I don't understand) that hGH has no performance or athletic enhancing effects.

No doubt the studies were not done on bodybuilders, per se. Therein lies the problem with the medical community and our lifestyle. Bodybuilders are usually one step ahead of the medical community when it comes to cutting edge usage and protocols for these type ancillaries. The more modern, pro-active docs/researchers know this well.
Oh, and speaking of Sermorelin. Mine is due to be delivered any day now. Very good price as well from a compounding pharmacy recommended by Scally.

I hope you like it. Are you going to take it with arginine? Or with GABA?
