This is the big one. Injectable human growth hormone. The center of all the controversy.
This is what supposedly went into Roger Clemens butt. What some bodybuilders are abusing. What Congress wants to turn into a scheduled drug.
We take the stance that when used properly, under medical supervision, the prescription form of hgh is a good thing.
The approved usage of hgh is for people having a hormone deficiency. Their pituitary glands are just not producing a large enough amount.
The most common medical therapy is to use injections for children who are hormone deficient. Treatment can help them grow a few extra inches. The FDA approves of this use for the hormone.
Another common use is as an anti-aging treatment. The hormone level drops rapidly as you get older. The theory here is that by increasing your hgh levels, you can start to reverse the signs of physical aging. Though the FDA does not approve of this usage, it is not illegal.
What is illegal is people buying hgh over the internet without a prescription. What is even more illegal is using a false name to purchase it without a prescription.
What is questionable is the use by adults of large amounts of human growth hormone.
This is what is done by athletes seeking performance enhancement. This is what bodybuilders do to put on extra muscle bulk. The FDA really hates this use. Congress isn’t too happy either.
Totally and absurdly stupid is children under the age of 18 using growth hormone for performance enhancement. They already have high levels. The amount of pharmaceutical hgh that they would have to take would be very expensive. Costing thousands of dollars per month. How do they pay for it? Sicko parents?
Everybody, the FDA, Congress, Sylvester Stallone and even the bodybuilders hate that usage.
Something needs to be done. What is the question? Can we protect the young without infringing on the rights of the aging? Can we stop abuse while maintaining a dialogue about proper usage?
Who, what, when, where, and why will be covered in the injectable hgh category. We will examine all the questions. We will cover the history. We report on all the medical research. We will search for a consensus.

Thanks.
No problem. There should be 1 to 3 new hgh reviews each day until we run out of products.

Admin,
I was currently on prescription HGH Saizen. And after 4 days of about 1iu to 1.5iu i started feeling a tight neck or possible swollen thyroid. Not sure. I currently have stopped and going to see doc on Monday. Have you heard of anyone either having allergic reactions, or thyroid problems with taking that low of dose to start. The symptoms are still persistant even after stopping on thursday .
4 hgh truths // Apr 27, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I don’t know about allergic reactions but muscle tightness and gland swelling can be on the hgh side effects list.
Not knowing your details i don’t want to specualte any further.
1iu to 1.5 iu does not seem like a starter dosage of human growth hormone.
Maybe for bodybuilding but the anti-aging starter dosage is usually lower.
5 Phil // Sep 9, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Taking more than 1 iu of HGH can cause pain, tighness in neck and shoulder area. If this happens, back off to .05 and your pain will go away. If you blood test and IGF-1 levels are over 300, expect some pain. But Good results take place at that level such as thick skin, thick hair, soft skin, and high libido, but you must bare the pain for a while. I personally take just over a .05-10 mark on syringe because my IGF-1’s are over 250.

Phil,
Good real world moderation advice.
Many anti-aging doctors are down to dosages of .02 iu taken for a longer period of time.

I’m 48 and premenopausal I have all the symptoms of needing estrogen, testosterone, etc and especially hgh! I need to shop mexico as US is to high. What is the easiest way to purchase hgh in mexico if I fly there. Do I need blood test 1st? How much can I bring to US.
8 hgh truths // Nov 15, 2008 at 2:50 pm
April,
I don’t buy from Mexico so i can’t give you information from personal experience.
I do know that you need to find a “reputable pharmacy”. They can usually steer you to a Doctor who can write you a prescription. The Doctors are usually conveniently located a few feet from the pharmacy.
You can then legally bring a three months supply into the country.
The concierge at your hotel might be able to steer you in the right direction.
Be careful if the price looks to good.
Counterfeits are as easy to buy in Mexico as the are to have shipped from China.

Can I get injectable hgh legally in the US with out a prescription?
10 hgh truths // Feb 9, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Jack,
It is currently illegal for anyone in the US to sell you the injectable human growth hormone unless you have a prescription.
The legality of buying it or possession for personal use is a bit of a gray area. It all depends on whose interpretation of the laws you accept.
11 Chris // Feb 12, 2009 at 10:39 pm
if each vile of somatropin is 10 iu’s how many shots per vile should you take?
12 hgh truths // Feb 13, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Chris,
It all depends on why you are injecting somatropin in the first place.
Anti-aging dosages of somatropin start at about 0.2 iu’s.
Muscle builders generally take 2 to 4 iu’s. Though I have talked to some that have gone to 8 iu’s of growth hormone. Talk about abusive dosages that can cause side effects
13 Chris // Feb 16, 2009 at 10:29 am
Thx…I know these questions might be a little elementary, but I feel like they are important. If using the injectables, where and how should they be injected?
14 hgh truths // Feb 17, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Chris,
Human growth hormone is injected subcutaneously (just under the skin).
Basically, you pinch a little fat around the midsection and inject it into the area that you have pinched.

If I’m going to start somotropin. What would be a good starting amount? I would like to lose a little weight and build muscle. Not crazy amounts of muscle, just a nice muscle growth.
16 hgh truths // Feb 23, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Kevin,
The studies that show muscle mass increase from somatropin use are mainly about older adults. There are no good studies that conclusively show that it builds mass in younger adults.
There are many cheaper ways to loss weight and build muscle.

I am 30 years old. Is that too young? I appreciate your help. Thanks!
18 hgh truths // Feb 25, 2009 at 9:02 am
Kevin,
Get ripped body building types go for somatropin injections at any age. Healthwise it does not really make that much since until you hit the 45+ zone.
Being 30 you should try simpler less expensive methods to get the results you are seeking.
19 Kevin // Feb 25, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Thanks, I guess good old fashion diet and excersize is best.

We have been taking things like hgh and bioidentical hormones with the supervision of a longevity MD. This doctor is very conservative and we started with .2 iu of hgh. Also taking some natural thyroid supplements. Our labs showed us low on a number of things. We are doing great now — more energy, increased sex drive, lower blood pressure (enough to get off our medication), no more joint pain. I’d been having knee and shoulder joint pain for years. Gone completely now. We are rock climbing, cycling and weightlifting at ages 49 and 57.

Jolly Good Show! Do it smart, reap the rewards.
22 barbara k // Sep 18, 2009 at 9:32 am
I like your web site,I haven’t yet started on hgh, pharmacy prices are to high, my igf is 152, I’d like to bring it to 300, my holistic dr said i would feel great, I have some joint pain, foot pain,from sprained ankles and planter faciitis, do you think it it would help with my problems? I can get nutropin in mexico they have good prices, how can you tell if they are liget.
23 hgh truths // Sep 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Barbara,
If the printing on the packaging looks off, avoid the product. The only problem is that some counterfeiters make it look perfect. Personally, unless you know of an honest pharmacy in Mexico, I would stiick to the regular pharmacy and go for low dosages mixed with hgh supplements. In fact, try one of the top hgh supplements first. That might be all you need and much cheaper.

I’m considering taking one of the injectable HGH products. How would you describe the efficacy of injectable HGH vs. high quality HGH releasors (Gold)?
25 hgh truths // Oct 22, 2009 at 8:06 am
Matt,
Many people are perfectly happy with just the Gold. If you are over 50, the injectables will be more effective than the supplements. Under 50, it is just an expensive thing to do. Many anti-aging doctors use low dose injections combined with supplements as a more affordable option for there patients that provides the same level of long term results.

I have recently been told that i have very low sperm morphology. Also, I have been in the gym trying to put on some lean mass. I have my nutrition and training tight. What would 1IU of Hgh do for my sperm and trying to gain lean mass?

I am getting a good price from China, How will I know if it’s right. Thse are blue top vials that come in a powder form with 10 iu each. How do I mix it to inject? What kind of syringe do I use?
28 chantal // Dec 6, 2009 at 8:16 pm
What are the acceptable price ranges?
29 hgh truths // Dec 13, 2009 at 8:32 pm
chantal,
I would never touch any supplement or drug that comes directly from China. Very little to zero of the hgh from China is really hgh.
