HGH Benefits ( http://hgh.bz/HGH_Dosage.php)
Is taking HGH healthy? There are good health reasons for taking HGH which is why it has grown to be so popular as a treatment for hormone deficiency and imbalance.
The human growth hormone, commonly called somatropin is a protein consisting of 191 amino acids. The human body naturally produces it every day through secretion of the pituitary gland located in the brain. It is then released into the bloodstream in small pulses during sleep at night when the human growth hormone is at its peak and during high-intensity exercise. Despite the fact that it is in the blood for only a few minutes, it is one of the most powerful hormones and impacts all body functions, tissues and organs. Immediately after it is secreted it is absorbed by the liver and sent throughout the body to grow, rejuvenate, repair and regenerate cells. Normal levels of HGH help the body maintain its youthful appearance by maintaining bodily functions vital for health. Its ability to grow new muscle cells, regenerate cells, reduce adipose fatty tissue, boost sex drive, enhance mood, smooth skin, improve the immune system and cardiovascular health have given human growth hormone a reputation for helping support healthy aging.
HGH is a subcutaneous injection. When injected subcutaneously in the fatty tissue, the bio-availability of HGH is approximately 75%. When somatropin is injected intramuscularly, the bioavailability is reduced to approximately 60% to 63%. Proper storage of your GH drugs is required to ensure full potency or bio-activity. This is especially true of each doe you measure after reconstitution.
Somatropin's Half-Life: When injected subcutaneously, the half-life of HGH is approximately 3.8 hours. When injected intramuscularly, the half-life of HGH is approximately 4.9 hours. While the half-life of growth hormone is short regardless of the mode of administration, keep in mind the total affects of normalizing the body's hormone levels far outlast the brief half-life. The significant and dramatic increases in IGF-1 levels brought on by the hormone's use lasts beyond the 24 hours which is why HGH is prescribed for daily daily shot administration. As for the bioavailability, you can obtain the targeted medical results with either injections method and patients are known to use somatropin as subcutaneous injections as well as intramuscular. However, the overwhelming number of patients taking injectable Human Growth Hormone take their daily doses subcutaneously which provides for a stronger concentration of the drug introduced into the body over a 24 hour period.
Growth Hormone Doses for Men
In a therapeutic or clinical setting, the most common male Human Growth Hormone doses will fall in the 1-3IU per day range. Most men will, however, fall in the 2IU range for daily somatropin shots. Some men may be prescribed as much as 4IU's per day, but this is a relatively high dose many times used by athletes and body builders and such therapeutic somatropin HGH doses are rare. Very low doses taken steadily are quite common in long-term bio-identical HRT and anti-aging plans.
For men who have lowered libido and lost muscle, the enhanced stamina, endurance and exercise recovery growth hormone replacement provides helps them regain sex drive, muscle bulk and size. In addition, HGH provides men with age-related health rejuvenation, vigor and vitality, thicker hair, smoother skin, stronger bone and mineralization.
Growth Hormone Dosage and Testosterone for Women
HGH for women is prescribed in a smaller dosage than for men and because the production of estrogen is correlated with levels of human growth hormone, a treatment program that optimizes and balances all of a women's hormones is necessary when taking hormone replacement drugs. The more estrogen a women has in her system the more growth hormone, so estrogen replacement is many times done in concert with HGH replacement. Typical HGH doses for women are 1IU to 2IU daily injected by subcutaneous shots in the fatty tissue. Women may naturally make more growth hormone than men but because they have much less testosterone do not develop muscular physiques as do men. HGH, estrogen and progesterone have help maintain healthy hair, smooth skin, and strong nails. When women go through menopause wrinkled skin, dry hair, cracked nails, bone loss, weight gain with increased body fat can cause signs of premature aging. Hormone therapy is designed to help women combat these symptoms as well as the more well-known physiological symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, headaches mood swings, depression, vaginal dryness and loss of libido.
The most proper HGH doses for women maintain a delicate balance among all hormones and bio-identical replacement therapy programs include other hormones in addition to somatropin injections like testosterone, thyroid and estrogens. Testosterone is also important for women's health, especially sexual desire and is prescribed along with estrogen, progesterone, thyroid and human growth hormone when low testosterone levels are detected. Women taking doses of testosterone report increased sexual desire and vaginal sensitivity.

HGH Side Effects. ( http://hgh.bz/HGH_Abuse.php )
Abuse of HGH Human Growth Hormone has been shown to have serious side effects which include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis, Edema (swelling), Water Retention, Joint Pain, Gigantism (unnatural bone growth), Bloating, Liver damage, Insulin imbalance and Thyroid problems.
Symptoms of injecting too much Growth Hormone.
The symptoms listed for HGH abuse are typically experienced with higher than normal doses. You should also completely avoid HGH Therapy with Human Growth Hormone injections if you have cancer or at high risk for cancer, or have a family history of cancer. For example men with prostate cancer would not qualify for HGH therapy and should not entertain injecting growth hormone. Human Growth Hormone injections used for HGH therapy stimulate cell reproduction and regeneration which can have an amplifying and dangerous effect on a person with cancer. Although HGH doesn't cause cancer, taking HGH unnecessarily could increase cancer risk in people predisposed to cancer or accelerated the rate of development in those that already have it. For this reason HGH abuse is a serious and controversial subject. The potential health benefits of human growth hormone should outweigh the possible risks and side effects that result from using it.
How to Avoid Side Effects of HGH Injections
Numerous studies have shown side effects can be avoided by slow initial administration, proper monitoring of HGH levels and usage of growth hormone on a daily basis in what is called a low-dose, high frequency method or protocol
Side Effects of HGH Abuse
Typically the most common side effect of the excess use of HGH is acromegaly (excess growth hormone). This is a medical condition that begins with the overgrowth of facial bone and connective tissue, leading to a changed appearance due to protruding jaw and enlarged eyebrow bones. This condition also leads to an abnormal lengthening and growth of the hands and feet with an increased growth of hair all over the body. Contrary to the alleged longevity properties of HGH increasing your life, this condition of excessive HGH will shorten life expectancy considerably.
Side effects of too much HGH.
Acromegaly (as described in detail above)
Premature death (in case of acromegaly)
Heart enlargement (due to prolonged use of HGH. Can't be reversed)
Low blood sugar with risk of going into a diabetic coma
Excessive hair growth all over the body
Excessive water retention
Liver damage
Thyroid damage
Diabetes onset
