Hello bro's and sisters!

Well, I'm in the process of starting HGH however, I am not doing it for bodybuilding purpose but if it helps in that area great. I'm leaning more into the health benefits that I so often hear about and researched. I'm almost 40 yrs old and my body is changing. Mental attitude, some set backs of depression, overall not feeling too energetic to do anything, life is not as exciting as it was before, my body takes longer to recuperate and overall I'm feeling well, kinda tired. So, I am curious to ask those that have experience in HGH usage how they felt on it, off it and what transpire overall in their bodies?

Please I'm looking into honest experience not recreational usage. So please let me know how you felt on it???

Thanks to all!

I think you should think twice. It's been around for a long time and much research has been done. I dont see legit docs pushing HGH on their patients because they feel a little tired. There is no fountain of youth that doesn't have serious side affects...so if your willing to take chances with the risks and the benefits outway those risks.....go for it.

All i can say is I never have, and I never will take HGH or any other peptide.

I've used HGH for over three years so I'll share my experience with you. To start, I was put on HGH by my HRT doc as an anti-aging agent. Unfortunately Doctors can no longer prescribe HGH for anti-aging. My experience was that I felt better, my skin was more elastic, and I healed much quicker from injuries. Very noticable how fast minor cuts and scrapes would heal. These are some of the things I experienced and noticed, feel free to ask me any specific questions you may have short of where I get my HGH. I'm not on the board 24/7, but I'll try to answer it when I can.

as far as skin ,does it help with crows feet , the normal aging in the face , cause we all know the body ,with exercise can look young way beyond its years , but facial aging is much harder

Better sleep overall. I wake up refreshed compared to waking up feeling tired and not wanting to get out of bed.
I still don't want to get out of bed, but I feel that it was a great night of sleep.
Hair/nails grow faster.

What are the reasons behind your never wanting to use GH? Just interested...

Work today and havent checked this post in a while....but I'll put up a list of all the negative sides that occur w/ GH use. But for now, the worst of it that no one notices until it's too late is enlargement of organs such as the heart and intestines, as well as cartilage and bone growth.. The main reason GH is not prescribed for anti aging is because in almost all studies done, a good % of people ended up with diabetes..

But i'll have cited studies in a few days up ......

[DECADOG]

O.K....so here is the basic low down of GH sides from use and mis-use....cut and paste from a few different sourses...as it would happen in the BUFF community.....

Some of the side effects reportedly seen in previously healthy mature patients after taking HGH include:

* Edema (retention of fluids) in extremities[5]
* Arthralgia (joint pain)[5]
* Carpal tunnel syndrome[5]
* Hypertension
* Diabetes and other glucose metabolism imbalances[5]
* Gynecomastia (enlargement of male mammary glands)[5]

Chronic use of HGH is not well studied, except when used in children for acute growth deficiencies. A long term increase in colon cancer and Hodgkin's Disease has been observed in these cases.

The most common side effect of the excess use of HGH is acromegaly. This is a medical condition that begins with the overgrowth of facial bone and connective tissue, leading to a changed appearance due to protruding jaw and eyebrow bones. This condition also leads to an abnormal growth of the hands and feet with an increased growth of hair all over the body. Contrary to increasing your life, this condition will shorten life expectancy considerably.

Mentioned here are just some of the known side effects of the undue use of HGH.
-- Acromegaly (as described in detail above)
-- Premature death (in case of acromegaly)
-- Heart enlargement (due to prolonged use of HGH. Can't be reversed)
-- Low blood sugar with risk of going into a diabetic coma
-- Excessive hair growth all over the body
-- Excessive water retention
-- Liver damage
-- Thyroid damage


HGH side effects are a concern for anyone looking at hormone therapy to slow down or reverse the aging process. The side effects of HGH use can be scary and researchers are still working on the optimal dosage to reduce adverse reactions and enhance results. As with any drug each person must weigh the benefits against the drawbacks and decide if the end justifies the means.

HGH side effects range from the minor joint pain and some fluid retention to the more serious high blood pressure and abnormal bone and cartilage growth. Most medicinal use of HGH focuses on short-term correction of a hormonal imbalance. General growth hormone side effects from this type of use tend to be fluid retention, joint pain, a reversible insulin resistance, and some joint swelling.

HGH for anti-aging or "plastic surgery in a bottle" use leads to more long-term complications such as high blood pressure, more serious fluid retention, chronic joint pain and swelling, and some facial bone growth. Long-term abuse, as seen in athletic use, can lead to more pronounced, and sometimes deadly, side effects such as irregular heart rhythms, increased risk of diabetes, joint and facial deformities, and a shut down of the pituitary glands.

HGH side effects can be reduced by limiting the length of time the hormone is used. Lowering the dosage of human growth hormone can also reduce the number and severity of these reactions. Human growth hormone is a drug. The introduction of any foreign substance, even if your body produces some naturally, will trigger reactions by the body. These reactions cause the effects that we see with any drug. HGH side effects also come from the extra growth hormone in the body along with what is already produced by the pituitary glands.

Some of the more serious side effects of HGH come from the abuse of the hormone. This abuse can come in the form of taking too much of the substance or taking it for too long. Milder versions of these problems can occur from the abuse of supplemental forms of HGH sold over-the-counter.

Your body needs time to return to a normal state of function. If you take more than the suggested dosage for a long period of time you will see complications arise from this abuse. You liver has to work harder to process this externally introduced HGH running through your blood. This could lead to liver stress, and ultimately liver damage. Your body may recognize a higher level of HGH in the bloodstream and stop producing as much for itself. If this goes on long enough the pituitary glands begin to shut down.




So all of the articles generally state the same things about GH. What i have here sums it up for the most part....

[chgolatin2]

Anything you do and I MEAN ANYTHING if its abused it will do you harm, for example AAS, Supplements, Alcohol, prescription drugs, none prescription and the list goes on. What I am referring to is how to you feel on HGH of course I am not looking to overdose on it but I want to keep my dosage at a good minimum, lets say 1.8 or 2.0 5 days on 2 days off for approx 6 months. Afterward, eod at 1.5 or 1.

This is for health reasons, not for bodybuilding even though it does help in your body composition and other factors as well.

I'm with you Chgolatin2, I see so damn many people smoking and drinking daily. Why dont the gov. ban smoking, its the number one cause of heart problems. Yet they allow people to continue and has helped with health care costs going through the roof. I dont smoke and never have, but when i'm around one of those fuckers, they'll light up right next to me and i have to smell that shit. Smokers are pricks. I hate them.
If you abuse something there will be problems, bottom line.

Remember when HGH became the new "fountain of youth"??....over 20 years of reaserch and for some reason, it just didn't live up to all the hype in the MEDICAL COMMUNITY. Doctors, armed with all their research, decided the risks outweighed the benefits, so the product would be used in very special cases or went more underground..

Lets face it Chico (sorry...forgot your name bro), it sounds to me like your looking for a good excuse to do it.....trying to find the "healthy" reasons for using GH, not abusing it. I think you need to call a spade a spade here....you want to do it, so do it. There is obviously no way to change your mind, but I just hope you dont have any problems.

HGH isn't gear, so make sure you know what your doing and don't expect to notice anything. If done right, it could take up to 6 months and in those 6 months, plan on dealing with side affects I've mentioned above.. You can do roids for many years without abusing them and have no bad long term affects....that just isn't the case with GH....MAN!!! turning yourself into a biochem tech set.......... Muscles lose water retention and your nut sack gets bigger after PCt with gear. Once your internal organs and cartilaginous joints grow, they stay that way. Humans weren't made to have multiple growth spurts.

It's not like I have ill will towards HGH, I just think it's dangerous....just the way many of us on these sites think narcotics are....and no one sells that shit on here, thank GOD!!! We are supposed to be watching out for each others backs, but somewhere , too many of us got caught up in the bullshit game of marketing dangerous shit to our brothers who have no face, only an internet name.....and for what??? So you can have nicer rims on your S5 and 3 acres instead of 1. Is it really worth it??

We are all paying now and we are going to keep on paying till we r dead....and our children.....and theirs.....

.....so that's why i try not to play that game....I play too many already.

What have you heard that makes you want to do GH??
What are these health benefits you plan on getting from using GH?
Have you talked to your family practice doc about it?
If you havent, are you nervous about her taking it the wrong way??

[chgolatin2]

First of all I wouldnt do anything without getting properly checked out by my personal doctor, yes I did inform my doc about my intentions so he recommended a long safe dosage of 1.8iu per day up to 2.0iu's no more than that. Also, I got my IGF tested and all of my proper bloodwork done.

I've done my research on GH and I am not scared of the bs that most talk about, lets face it ANYTHING you use and I MEAN ANYTHING, if you abuse it, you will PAY! PERIOD end of story! Wether AAS, SLIN, HGH, Peptides, drugs, alcohol and the list goes on, damn even if you eat to much is bad for you WTF!
