Growth hormones, known as IGFI, are recommended by anti-aging clinics, with the specious arguments that as you age these hormones dwindle in your body, causing an aged look. The injections of this hormone are used widely throughout United States of America, in spite of their known after effects, especially through prolonged treatment with these injections
Why do people prefer these growth hormones? The answer is simple. The products containing these hormones are promoted extensively by the anti-aging clinics through advertisements and other such media forums. One such advertisement shows an older person looking much younger than his age, and performing tasks which are only done by younger people, thus promoting him as a model, which takes growth hormones and appears fit.
While as an advertisement it may be serving the interests of the companies involved, it is certainly not serving the cause of people. IGFI growth hormone is known to increase incidences of diabetes, it can speedup the possibility of developing cancerous condition, and if you already have cancerous condition, it can promote it resulting in cancer mortality. This is apart from breast cancer causing potential. Definitely, this is not what you were asking for. When you wanted anti-aging treatment. Growth hormones are potential disasters to your health.
Though it appears simple, the injection being used only to replace a hormone which is not being produced by your body, it is not as simple. Laboratory finds may be used to convince you that you have much lesser growth hormones than the younger persons, and therefore you should replace through these artificial methods. The simplicity ends here, as growth hormones come packed with lot of risks.
Studies have revealed that when these growth hormones were injected to 74 men and 57 women, aged between 65 to 88 years, over a period of 26 weeks, the body fat reduced considerably but there was only marginal increase in their strength. It was proof that these hormones were not helping in any way, and on the other hand there was higher incidence of increased insulin resistance, within this short period. This only means that the growth hormones have reduced the fat hormone, which is of great importance to the body, and this has resulted in insulin resistance. Studies have also now found that low fat hormone in the body causes breast cancer.
If a woman is administered with bio-identical hormones, at higher levels, she is only heading for trouble. You can be healthy only by naturally helping your glands to produce hormones, and natural hormones receptors are a better answer. Studies have proved that Bio-identical hormones are harmful to health of human beings. Growth hormone injections are unnatural and thus should be kept away.
