Steroids HGH
The entire sports world is under fire over the use and abuse of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone occupies center stage.
What the public does not realize is that the form of human growth hormone that is being bantered about in the news is…
…the injected form of HGH.
To help understand why injected hgh is dangerous it helps to first understand the body’s normal human growth hormone production cycle.
Human physiology has a hormonal thermostat that regulates and maintains hormone levels and keeps them in the low-medium to high-medium range.
The important question is:
What happens when athletes or anyone else for that matter violates that hormonal thermostat by supplying hormones in (pharmacological) amounts which exceed their body’s natural production? In other words, how does the human body interpret the access hormone floating around in the blood?
At the very least it creates a very unhealthy situation.
When you upset your entire endocrine system, you expose yourself to many potentially serious consequences.
Several of the side effects associated with steroid use may include:
- carpel tunnel syndrome
- fluid retention
- high blood pressure
- joint pain
- hyperglycemia
- pancreatitis
Then why do athletes use injected human growth hormone?
Because research has proven that hgh can boost muscle strength up to 27%, increase bone strength, reduces recovery time, and help to oxygenate the blood. As an example: Serostim, a human growth hormone used to treat AIDS patients, has become a very hot commodity on the athletic black market.
Bottom line on steroids: The main and most challenging problem with steroids including human growth hormone stem from the fact that your body cannot control them. When you externally supply the raw hormone your body responds by first shutting down its own production of the hormone. And the moment you stop shooting up your benefits disappear. So you are essentially looking at an expensive life time drug habit.
What if you want to enhance your normal growth hormone production? Safely…
It’s common knowledge that as we age there is a decline in hormone levels. It’s also common knowledge that if we enhance those hormone levels that we can enjoy many of the benefits we did in our youth.
Enhancing growth hormone is a terrific idea with far-reaching benefits. The keyis to naturally provide the right signals to your body to upgrade growth hormone production, rather than rolling the dice with your health and incurring the life time expense of injecting it.1 When you signal your body to naturally increase growth hormone levels you do not violate your natural hormonal thermostat and therefore do not expose yourself to the problems associated with pure hormone replacement.
Your body is designed for self-regulatory processes and it makes more sense to focus on healthy aging within the confines of your own self-regulatory processes (maintaining your hormonal thermostat). It is possible to bring a declining hormonal thermostat gently and steadily back to normal.
With age there is a progressive loss of the ability to regulate cell-to-cell signaling within the endocrine system.2 It is more logical and safer to strengthen cell signaling within the endocrine system by supplementing with a proven HGH product that has been specifically designed to do so.
