    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Human growth hormone is produced naturally in the body by the pituitary gland. This hormone supports growth and development at a young age, but the body produces significantly lower levels with age.

    Muscle Mass

    Human growth hormone supplemented in an otherwise healthy adult will promote increased muscle growth. However, this extra mass does not necessarily translate to strength.

    Increased Exercise Endurance

    Taking supplemental human growth hormone may boost endurance, allowing users to exercise longer and more intensely.

    Body Fat Reduction

    Human growth hormone has been known to decrease body fat in older adults.

    Anti-Aging Properties

    There have been claims that human growth hormone can help reverse the aging process, but no scientific research has confirmed this. The younger feeling is most likely attributed to the increased endurance and improved heart function.

    Immune System

    Human growth hormone boots the immune system and is prescribed to aid those with degenerative muscle diseases and to fight HIV- and AIDS-related complications.
