Not Legal Use: Using HGH for performance enhancement is not a legal use. The only legitimate indication is for treatment of a medical diagnosis of adult human growth hormone deficiency. It’s safe to use HGH when indicated and under qualified medical supervision. It’s unsafe to self-administer hgh. If HGH is prescribed to replace a diagnosed deficiency, performance enhancement may be a beneficial side-effect.

No: Hgh is highly regulated. If you have a true low hgh levels then it will help otherwise i would stay away from it as in excess it might cause cancer, but we are not for sure yet. Needs more research.
