My suggestion is "try to stay away from hormone", even the hormone works for you, exogeneous uptake of hormone will disturb your nature hormone secretion and body response to hormone.
Here is the link at wikipedia about HGH, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_growth_hormone
And here is the HGH excess phenomena---------
Excesses
The most common disease of GH excess is a pituitary tumor composed of somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary. These somatotroph adenomas are benign and grow slowly, gradually producing more and more GH. For years, the principal clinical problems are those of GH excess. Eventually the adenoma may become large enough to cause headaches, impair vision by pressure on the optic nerves, or cause deficiency of other pituitary hormones by displacement.
Prolonged GH excess thickens the bones of the jaw, fingers and toes. Resulting heaviness of the jaw and increased thickness of digits is referred to as acromegaly. Accompanying problems can include pressure on nerves (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome), muscle weakness, insulin resistance or even a rare form of type 2 diabetes, and reduced sexual function.
GH-secreting tumors are typically recognized in the fifth decade of life. It is extremely rare for such a tumor to occur in childhood, but when it does the excessive GH can cause excessive growth, traditionally referred to as pituitary gigantism.
Surgical removal is the usual treatment for GH-producing tumors. In some circumstances focused radiation or a GH antagonist such as bromocriptine or octreotide may be employed to shrink the tumor or block function.
Another thing needs to mention---- HGH is a protein which means it will be degraded in your stomach and intestine which totally breaks its activity. I guess the reason why some doctors ask people to take HGH with empty stomach is to make sure all the HGH is degraded by a spare stomach full of acid and pepsin, therefore no HGH will make people express all the HGH excess symptom listed above. |
