Human growth hormone (HGH) has been brought to the limelight with its use by athletes in professional sports. Although HGH has taken a public beating, it does have physical benefits if administered properly by a physician. Human growth hormone is made by the pituitary gland, a small structure near the base of the brain. It develops childhood growth and helps to sustain organs and tissues throughout your life. Human growth hormone has a variety of purposes for the body. It may increase bone density, decrease body fat and increase muscle mass. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat muscle wasting due to HIV or AIDS. The risks of taking HGH include joint and muscle pain, and swelling in the arms and legs. Enlargement of breast tissue, called gynecomastia, is another potential side effect. HGH is injected in the body. A pill form is available that allegedly produces the same results as the injected form. These hormone releasers haven't been verified to work like HGH. HGH injections can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars per month. Consult a physician about costs, risks and benefits.Definition
