No: Growth hormone is used to treat children w/ certain growth disorders . Although its use has skyrocketed in bodybuilders and other adult users; it's safety and efficacy have not been proven in any studies I am aware of. Be careful! see am endocrinologist for more information.

No: It is not safe to use for that purpose. It can cause hyperglycemia, fluid overload, and joint problems, among other things. If you want to build muscle safely, you'll just have to work out and eat protein. No medications and no cheating!
