Minimum age to begin HGH?

[slamminshaun]

I'm 30....too young to consider HGH?

Alot of people I know are using it, but they're all in their 40's. I've been getting differing opinions, and without spending the $$$ to have a doctor give me their opinion just yet, I'm hoping to see what you all have to say....

30 is still a little young I believe but iv heard of people doing it . I think the main concern of starting too young is that your still growing and hence it can give your body irregularities.

Im not that informed on the subject, maybe someone else with experience with this compound can give you more approriate information.

PS: I;ve seen on a few rejunavition clinics that the minimum age for treatment is 30, although i dont know how trustworthy that is considering what they are lol.

I have been doing quite a bit of reading on it, and the more I read, the more bodybuilders I see with thickened skulls and mid-sections.......the more I think it is seriously over-rated.

IMO GH is pure evil. Not only does it enlarge things like the skull, but also internal organs, like the heart and liver, and that can lead to a TON of problems.

IMO gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - is pure evil. Not only does it enlarge things like the skull, but also internal organs, like the heart and liver, and that can lead to a TON of problems.

From a bodybuilding standpoint it is not worth the risk to benefit factor. From a HRT standpoint for adults over 40 with low natural IGF levels then it could be a god send. I don't need GH but if I was older with low IGF levels I wouldn't hesitate. Why grow old?

Even the use of growth for anti-aging is debatable.

This is the thing, you keep making GH, it is just that it is not released (or it isn't in typical sedentary western people).

There are natural triggers.

I think that GH is being pushed so much in HRT clinics as a means of making loads of money.

Don't be a guinea pig for medicine. Make sure you do a lot of research before you decide to take it.

Agreed. I think HGH as replacement should be restricted to those over 60 and even then, it's debatable.

 

[eddymerckx]

i think i would wait until i knew if my parents of siblings had and cancer issues at young ages (20s/early thirties)

 

[Tatyana]

Agreed. I think human growth hormone - somatropin - as replacement should be restricted to those over 60 and even then, it's debatable.

WOW we agree on loads of things Mr. Montana.

I did just get to your section where you slate macrobiotics.

I quite like macrobiotics, I learned how to cook rice and beans properly, and to make food really pretty (it is all based on traditional Japanese cooking).

I think we will have to have a debate over this one.

Up up for debate anytime.

I should edify that I am not ANTI macrobiotic, just like I'm not anti organic or anti vegetibles or anti any food. I just don't believe that a diet that is EXCLUSIVE to one particular method is superior or especially beneficial.

So we may have to find something else to fight about.

I still use a lot of macrobiotic principles, I also dumped quite a few of them.

I also quite like buying organic when I can.

I also know it makes absolutely no difference as the food was probably organic to begin with i.e.) walnuts, the free-range organic eggs from a local farm my butcher sells (can't be called organic or free range though due to legistlation) or prohibitive in cost for the amount I am eating (chicken, tuna and steak).

Something else to fight about then..................................

How about dinner and dancing or dinner and the pictures?

OR stay in or go out?

HOW CAN WALNUTS NOT BE ORGANIC? I NOTICE FREE RANGE EGGS TASTE BETTER. (AND HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE A BETTER PROTEIN CONTENT).
BUT I THINK WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IN THE LONG RUN IS MARGINAL. IT'S LIKE WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT GH IN CATTLE. YOU'D HAVE TO EAT 50 POUNDS OF BEEF TO GET THE EQUIVILANT OF ONE I.U. OF GH INGESTED ORALLY WHICH IS COMPLETELY INERT. YET THESE SAME PEOPLE FEED TOFU TO THEIR CHILDREN CAUSING PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY IN GIRLS AND LOWER TESTOSTERONE IN BOYS.

ALWAYS.

......................................................

I NEED SEVERAL DRINKS BEFORE I DANCE BECAUSE NO SANE MAN WILL DO SO OTHERWISE. I THINK A MOVIE (THE PICTURES AS YOU SAY) IS A TERRIBLE DATE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT CONNECTING TO EACH OTHER. THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER OPTIONS.

WE'LL PICK THIS UP VIA P.M. : )

I've heard of ppl as young as 25 using it, but I don't think its a good idea. Novice gear users often think of gh as the best of the best. So they try it to early. I think older ppl can have great benefits from it, like ages 45-50.
But as far as bodybuilding goes, it shouldn't be used until you can't make any gains with aas alone. Its thought of like this: aas shouldnt be used until your body is at its natural peak and can make no more gains. And gh and insulin shouldnt be used untile the body is at its peak with gear.

I just started it for the first time at 28. I'm hoping it will help with a shoulder injury and to shed some of the built up fat from the result of the injury.

 

[searay]

The issue of GH is the only thing that really bothers me about the results of the "Mitchell Report" and the use of aas and GH in sports. Suposed experts advising athletes to use GH as young as 22. Even Roger Clemens suposedly did not like the results he got while on GH, suposedly he prefered aas alone. The reason I use the word suposed is because the information came from the trainer who administered his gear of choice. So here is a guy who should be benefiting the most from GH due to his age and choses not to after trying it for awhile. I do not remember how long he tried it or if they even mentioned how long. I think one of the reasons for recomending GH to younger athletes was the inability to detect it in a piss test, which as far as Im concerned, is a major lame ass reason.

Agreed. It can even enlarge mild tumors and lots of nasty things in the body.

I agree with you that HRT clinics push GH in the effort to make money. I would bet at least 80% of gh HRT use is not needed. Then you can say that about any prescription drug they sell. HRT is for life and to extend life and health not to feel real good for 10 o 12 weeks.
