This is where it gets exciting. While numerous studies have been done on the effects of HGH injections, the most ground breaking study was done by Dr. Rudman and published in the New England Journal of Medicine on July 5, 1990. The journal reported that men who had taken HGH injections had shown a 8.8 percent gain in lean body mass with a 14 percent loss in body fat - without any change in diet or activity! It bears repeating that there was no change in diet or exercise - and the subjects who received HGH injections had a 8.8 percent increase in lean body mass.
If you look at all the studies that have been done on HGH injections you get the following list of benefits:
* 8.8% increase in muscle mass on average after six months, without exercise
* 14.4% loss of fat on average after six months, without dieting
* Higher energy levels
* Enhanced sexual performance
* Regrowth of heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs that shrink with age
* Greater cardiac output
* Superior immune function
* Increased exercise performance
* Better kidney function
* Lowered blood pressure
* Improved cholesterol profile, with higher HDL and lower LDL
* Stronger bones
* Faster wound healing
* Younger, tighter, thicker skin
* Hair regrowth
* Wrinkle removal
* Elimination of cellulite
* Sharper vision
* Mood elevation
* Increased memory retention
* Improved sleep

Is there any negative to taking HGH injections?
Yes - but then you knew there had to be a catch, didn't you? There are actually a few problems with HGH injections:
Extremely Expensive
A year's supply of HGH injections can cost $20,000! Insurance will not cover the injections because you are not treating a "classified disease".
Available by prescription only
Recombinant GH is a drug that is available by prescription only. So, even if you had $20,000 a year to spend, you would need to get a prescription.
Possible Negative Side Effects
Anytime you introduce a large amount of a foreign hormone into the body there is the risk of side effects. In Dr. Rudman's study he found that some of the patients suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and gynecomastia (enlarged breasts). Dr. Rudman believed that with less HGH the side effects would go away, but tragically he died before he could test his theory.
