Beware Growth Hormone Net Scam

Page 2
With rising volumes of spam on these products, some referring to the paper, the NEJM recently added an editor's note to the internet version of the first page of the article, "Effects of human growth hormone in men over 60 years old", warning that it has been cited in "potentially misleading email advertisements".

Professor Rob Baxter, a biochemist and director of the Kolling Institute of Medical Research at the Royal North Shore Hospital, says most of the products sold on the web in these advertisements are not the growth hormone itself, but products claimed to stimulate its production.

"There are a number of natural and pharmacological agents which are known to stimulate hGH production," he said. "Among them is the amino acid arginine". Arginine, one of 20 amino acids or building blocks of proteins in the human body, stimulates the pituitary gland to release hGH.

If injected, arginine triggers hGH release, Baxter says, but he adds that "even if these preparations do cause just a spark of hGH release", it won't fulfil the many claims made for it. "If your body is deficient in hGH, just eating a piece of steak or some arginine out of a bottle won't have any noticeable effect." No studies to date had found results to match those claimed on the web ads. In other words, in these days of evidence based medicine, there is none here.

Injected as a clinical drug in some ageing people, hGH had been shown to have some positive effects, but, he said, extra hGH in otherwise healthy people ageing normally would do little. It is illegal to import hGH personally, says the federal Department of Health and Ageing.
