HGH-New Drug of Choice for Athletes?

March 8th, 2009 | HGH

HGH (human growth hormone) is being labeled as a new drug of choice for athletes. It seems to be particularly popular on the baseball field. This is for many reasons.

Why Baseball Players (and Other Athletes) Use It

Synthetic HGH is being used by athletes as a way to increase muscle mass, lose unwanted weight, and speed up recovery times. It is supposed to overall help players increase their performance and/or strength while they play.

Concerns about Side Effects

Although not everyone experiences side effects, they are highly likely to occur. They may appear in people who abuse HGH drugs, which are rapidly replacing steroids and other muscle-building drugs.

Possible problems associated with certain HGH injections or other stimulator include the following: diabetes, hypertension, vascular disease, or colon cancer. Therefore, anyone who is considering the use of an HGH product should be careful.

However, the main concern is that certain products used for this purpose are essentially ineffective if not used right. People are advised to seek doctor’s advice before using any human growth hormone product, no matter of prescription is required or not.

How to Evaluate Products

If you are considering the use of any type of HGH supplement you will want to learn how to evaluate select products. This will help you determine whether or not you can benefit from them.

It is usually suggested that you use products with ingredients that are natural and that have been tested safe in some way. It is highly suggested that you carefully monitor your health as you proceed with this type of treatment.

Additional Facts

According to one major news source, HGH in itself has not bee necessarily documented as one that directly increases performance. However, it has proven to be able to improve strength, which is one aspect of performing better while involved in vigorous and strenuous activity.

How Human Growth Hormone Supplements Work?

Everyone has seen or heard the various ads about HGH and how it can make you feel healthier and look younger. So is HGH the real fountain of youth that it claims to be?

The Science behind HGH Explained By Dr. Ellis Swandveldt

The natural HGH in the human body is made up of 191 amino acids. A ground-breaking study was published in 1990 by Dr. Rudman in the New England Journal of Medicine. For six months, Dr. Rudman conducted a controlled double-blind study that discovered some amazing results. The study found that between two groups of men who had identical diets and exercise programs those who received injectable HGH experienced an 8.8% increase in lean muscle and a 14.4% decrease in body fat. The group of test individuals that received HGH injections also reported better sleep, energy levels and skin and muscle tone. As a result of this study many companies began to attempt to reproduce these results through a non-prescription HGH supplement.

Individuals need to realize that the results which many HGH manufacturers report come from this original study which used prescription HGH. Many of the supplement forms of HGH today don’t contain prescription HGH. Rather HGH supplements fit into two categories: homeopathic and releasers.

The homeopathic of HGH supplements use a small amount of actual synthetic human growth hormone in order to increase the body’s production of natural HGH. Most of these products give you the best results of all non-prescription products. The amount of HGH that can be given without a prescription is closely monitored by the Food and Drug Administration. If a company claims to have comparable levels of prescription HGH then they are either misleading you or breaking federal law.

HGH releaser products basically contain a ‘multi-vitamin’ mix of amino acids. Typically these products have L-group amino acids such as valine and glutamine which are considered the building blocks of HGH. These ingredients still need a chemical change in order to produce HGH. Many of the cheaper HGH supplements on the market today are really just amino acid releaser products.

There are a few products on the market today that also have an ingredient that can raise the level of Insulin-like Growth Factor or IGF-1. Those in the modern medical field consider raising IGF-1 levels in the body to be the best way to increase the secretion of HGH by the pituitary gland. These growth factors are often included in the higher quality HGH supplements in order to maximize results.
