Beware Growth Hormone Net Scam

Page 4
"The stuff you can get over the net may be veterinarian supplied growth hormone which is not human, not necessarily pure and there is no quality control of what's in there - it's unsafe," says Cuneo.

"It's a large industry in the US, but the clinical research studies have shown small benefit with the risk of side effects, and the long term outcome is completely unknown.

"There is a lot more research to be done before I would put myself or my family on it," he says. One fact is for certain, experts agree. Baxter says you can't take hGH orally - so the claims of pills and nasal sprays achieving results are baseless because, like any other protein that is eaten, it is broken down again during digestion into all 20 amino acids.

Realistically, none of the products would contain real hGH, only something that claims to stimulate the body's own secretion of the hormone from the pituitary gland. Even claims that these products "stimulate" or "enhance" normal hGH output are dubious, Cuneo says.

"It would have to be injected at the right dose, so there is no chance that a cheap drug sold over the web can - at that price - contain a therapeutically useful dose of hGH." Legitimate hGH enhancers - growth hormone "secretagogues" - are only in the research phase now, says Cuneo.
