How to Inject HGH
HGH is a medication used to correct hormonal imbalances that occur with the aging process. This medication is regulated and prescribed by a licensed medical professional. Before a doctor will prescribe this hormone therapy, they will require blood tests to ensure the individual is a good candidate for treatment. The medication is typically administered by self-injection.

Tips & Warnings
Be patient waiting for results. HGH takes several months to take affect, so it's important to be patient. Keeping a log to note symptoms can assist in monitoring if the medication is helping.
Keep the syringe clean. Once you take the syringe out of the wrapper, it's important to protect its cleanliness. Don't allow it to come in contact with anything until after you've give the injection.
