With increased interest in anti-aging HGH has become a topic of much discussion. HGH is being prescribed by doctors as well as sold in supplement form in health stores nationwide. It's easy to decipher marketing fact from fiction when the common myths are debunked.
-
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
-
Since HGH is a hormone that occurs naturally within our bodies, people assume that is it safe. Side effects, however, can occur with use. Children have suffered from giantism after using too much HGH.
Spray Supplements Get to the Pituitary Gland Faster

The pituitary gland produces HGH in the body, but taking HGH does not affect the gland itself. Even if this would enhance the pituitary function, there is no evidence that HGH can be effectively absorbed through the mouth.
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.
