Question 1

does hgh work to slow or reverse aging?

Accepted Answer

Jury still out: There have been many such claims for HGH but the research supporting this is very limited and it is illegal to use it for this- see https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19523398/truth-about-hgh/ for a good discussion of the research. I never recommended taking HGH but there may benefits to helping your body produce more. See https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/11-ways-to-increase-hgh#section11

Question 2

how long does a combination of hgh & hcg take to work in ur body?

Accepted Answer

In a normal: person, they work continuously; more hgh than hcg unless you're pregnant. They should never be taken unless prescribed by a physician for a legitimate medical indication, which is very uncommon. How long they take to "work" depends upon why they are taken, and whether there is a valid medical indication for their use.

Question 3

sir, what is the last age of height increasing? can height increase after 21 in males. can any hgh supplements work on height after 21?

Accepted Answer

21-22, very rare, no: Most men stop growing between ages 18-20 though there are rare cases of growing at 21 and very rarely at 22. But the odds of growing after 21 are quite small, as usually the growth plates of the bones have closed. Once the growth plates have closed then HGH can not help to increase height.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b73LhEoLzoQ for rare cases of late growth spurts.

Question 4

can hgh therapy work for treatment of secondary amenorrhea?

Accepted Answer

No: You will have to discuss with your doctor why you developed secondary amenorrhea in the first place. If underweight is the cause, nutritional focus is the solution.

Question 5

how long does it take for nutropin (human growth hormone) to work?

Accepted Answer

For what purpose?: Hgh, which is what Nutropin (human growth hormone) is, immediately raises igf-1 levels, which is synthesized primarily in the liver.  For short statured children, you will see growth in height within a month.  For adults legitamely  using it, beneifts accrue within months, ie. Increased bone density, thicker skin, etc.  I do not know how quickly .It works when taken for athletic or anti-aging purposes. No studies.

Question 6

will human growth hormone work for me? hi, i am 19. i am curious if human growth hormone or even a human growth hormone secretagogue could help me gain more height given i am already 19 years of age?

Accepted Answer

: If you have not grown in the past year or so, your bones are not capable of further growth, with or without growth hormone. You doctor can determine for certain with an x-ray of the wrist.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

how does one get hgh?

Accepted Answer

From pituitary gland: Human growth hormone (hgh) is made in our pituitary glands.  Our bodies do a very good job of regulating when and how much hgh to make and secrete into the bloodstream.

Question 8

could someone take hgh?

Accepted Answer

I do not: Think so. We do not know the long term effects.

Question 9

is hgh complete safe to use?

Accepted Answer

No: No medication is completely safe.  If you have true growth hormone deficiency because you have had your pituitary gland removed, you might benefit by being on HGH.  If you are taking it for muscle/athletic enhancement, the safety is unknown, but likely will lead to problems down the line.  Don't believe any of the nonsense about it being some kind of anti-aging med, that is completely bogus.

Question 10

what is the best hgh avalible?

Accepted Answer

Not for adults: If you are thinking of GH for yourself, don't bother.  Except for rare adults with pituitary problems it is of no benefit - effects on muscle strength are small to nil.  That said, all GH products have the same potency so no one is "better" than another
