Beware Growth Hormone Net Scam

Page 1
Australian internet users should be wary of claims that their sex life, body weight, sight, hair - even their sleep - will be improved by products claiming to be human growth hormone (hGH) or derivatives.

Among the thousands of scam emails that clog inboxes daily are exhortations to buy products that claim either to be hGH - an essential hormone produced by the pituitary gland - or an hGH "enhancer" or "replacement" or "releaser (precursor)" that is claimed to increase the body's own hormone production.

The distributors are unidentified, despite several websites all claiming success for users. Less body fat, more muscle, a better sex life, loss of cellulite and wrinkles, better sleep, more hair (with colour restored) and better sight and memory are not only promised in some cases, but also "guaranteed".

Some products are offered for less than $US100 ($152) on the internet. The message from experts in Australia is that the results being claimed are rubbish. The Pan Pharmaceuticals scandal has underscored the risks of not getting what is claimed in a product.

The untested products available by email could also be contaminated with other substances. Some of the ads cite happy user testimonials from the US and refer to the late, pioneering Dr Daniel Rudman. Rudman, an expert on the hormone who first put forward the concept of a link between age degeneration and declining levels of hGH, was the author of a seminal paper on growth hormone in elderly men published 13 years ago in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
