i know a few physicians who treat their elderly parents with hgh and they say the quality of life is definitely improved

Studies of healthy older adults taking human growth hormone are limited. Many involve a small number of people followed for a short period of time. The studies that have been conducted have found that human growth hormone injections can increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults.

That increase in muscle doesn't translate into increased strength. Though the study participants gained muscle, they weren't any stronger. One study compared older men who took human growth hormone with older men who went through strength training programs. The bottom line: Strength training can increase both your muscle mass and your strength, making it cheaper and more effective than taking human growth hormone.

It isn't clear whether human growth hormone can provide other benefits, such as increased bone density and improved mood, to healthy adults. Most of the research into human growth hormone has focused on people with true growth hormone deficiencies.

Taking human growth hormone can cause a number of side effects, including:

* Swelling in your arms and legs
* Arthritis-like symptoms
* Carpal tunnel symptoms
* Headaches
* Bloating
* Muscle pain
* Diabetes
* Abnormal growth of bones and internal organs
* Hardening of the arteries
* High blood pressure
The stuff is not cheap either,,, i believe a nasal spray has been released but i'm not sure on the efficacy
