With all the steroid talk my curiosity has gotten the better of me. Does anybody use HGH and would you comment on the pros and cons?
I don’t use it, but the list of pro’s and con’s is fairly well known…
PROS:
improved eyesight
improvement in lean muscle mass
improvement in lumbar spine density
decrease in adipose (fatty) tissue
CONS:
Brain cancer
Various other forms of cancer
Weird calcium deposits forming on your bones
Reduced life span (mice injected with growth hormone had a much shorter life span – kind of like a candle burning twice as bright burns half as long kind of thing)
Behavioral changes
Cardiovascular disease
Pretty much ANY reputable doctor will tell you NOT to take it.
