Human growth hormone (HGH) is a synthetic drug that was intended for those children suffering from short stature and other growth related problems to facilitate their development to adult hood.So why has the supply to these needing kids been hijacked by the anti aging fraternity and those wanting to build bigger muscles?
HGH can help inflate a flagging ego
Many of those that use exogenous performance and aesthetic enhancing drugs,do so as a result of a fragile ego or the desire to be something their own genetics are limiting.I have seen it time and time again iron warriors unhappy with their size, weight or shape and they fall into the vicious circle of using drugs to facilitate their myopic views of what they believe is the ideal physique.I have competed amongst many that used drugs and some that unfortunately paid the ultimate price in the pursuit of the ultimate body.
HGH comes naturally
HGH is produced in the pituitary gland and is the fundamental hormone responsible for growth and development its subsequent decline as we age is the main premise that anti aging clinics base there assertions for supplementing it exogenously.Body builders are aware that HGH produces lean body mass amongst other benefits and many of those using performance enhancing drugs use HGH.Sylvester Stallone on arrival at Sydney airport was asked by customs what he had in his bag? he replied "A cheetah "then laughed it turned out to be a bag full of HGH for his personal use.
To do or not to do that is the question
Is HGH safe? under medical supervision for an existing medical condition the risks are outweighed by the benefits.To the chic clients of the anti aging clinics with waning levels and given medicinals levels are also at a perceived minimal risk.But for the healthy young body builder producing ample amounts of HGH administering medically unsupervised amounts of black market HGH the risks are omnipresent. So the question the begs to be asked is "what price would you pay for the ultimate body?"
