HGH Has Been Tested by the FDA
-
The FDA has only tested and approved HGH to be available through a physician's prescription. Supplements sold in health stores have not been tested at all.
HGH Can Extend the Longevity of Your Life
-
While HGH may be able to better your health, resulting in a longer life, no tests have been conducted to support this theory.
-
HGH Has No Risk Factors

HGH Can Rejuvenate Your Libido
-
There have been no studies completed that prove the significance of HGH in enhancing sexual energy. Studies that have been completed in other areas have not shown an increase in libido as a secondary finding.
