growth hormone

[MRNJ1992]

Are there any legitamate reasons to take growth hormone ? My insurance pays for it(30$ co pay). Want to convince my endo to prescribe it. Tired of feeling like hell. T levels super low. Any help would be appreciated.

if "legitimate" = FDA prescribed reason, then no, not for you. Unless (read below)...

Though HGH has been claimed to have innumerable health benefits, and improves health and vitality, the FDA doesn’t allow the use of the product for purposes other than those mentioned below, due to a lack of adequate research and data. The conditions where the use of HGH is approved by the Food and Drug Administration include:

• The deficiency of the Human Growth Hormone
• Chronic renal insufficiency
• Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR)
• Prader-Willi Syndrome and Turners Syndrome
• Cachexia

FDA prohibits the use of HGH for any other purpose, mandates the need for a medical prescription, and defines punishment (imprisonment and fine) for breaking the law.



Something else I'd thought I would throw into the mix:

FDA approval for Supplements, Pills and Sprays

FDA approval is essential to verify the safety, effectiveness and reliability of the products. Many supplements and sprays claim that they are FDA approved, however, there are certain facts that one should know while considering the purchase of these products. Firstly, as per the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA), 1994, dietary supplements don’t require a FDA approval. Since, most of the supplements, pills and sprays do not contain HGH, they are not regulated under the FDA act.

Secondly, some of the better quality products (supplements and sprays) are manufactured in GMP approved and certified laboratories, which meet the highest standards within the United States. Hence, the product is not certified, but the procedure of developing the product undergoes rigid quality, compliance norms and standards. Research studies indicate that the natural way to elevate HGH levels is to stimulate the body to produce more HGH, rather than supplementing it with artificial HGH produced outside the body. That’s why, the use of supplements and pills is a better option than the HGH injections. On the other hand, since, they do not contain HGH, they are not regulated under the FDA norms for HGH.
