Human Growth Hormone Facts

I am 17 years old, 5’8, 145 pounds, male, my mother is about 5’4 and my father is 5’6. I am interested in taking the growth hormone to increase my height by a couple of inches. I would like to see results in the 5’11 range. Could anybody give me information on whether or not taking this hormone will help me, what the side effects are, how expensive it is, and what the increase would be if it worked? Thanks in advance.

I was born with GHD (Growth Hormone Deficiency) and started taking injections when I was around 2 yrs. old. If i hadn’t taken them, I would be under 4′ at age 27, however I am currently 5’10". I stopped at 17 because at that age, you are not likely to much more, you can still build muscle mass but height isn’t likely to change much. You should talk to an endocrinologist and find out if there is any possibility of hormone injections helping you out. If you’re still living with your parents and they have health insurance, ask them to schedule an appointment. Growth Hormone injections can be costly, it would cost my family around $15,000 a year without insurance (this was several years ago though).

I drink a considerable amount of alcohol (beer & hard liquor) almost every day and i was wondering if there were any supplements or vitamins that would help curb the long-term detrimental effects to my healy.

-and by the way if you say dont drink because its bad for you, you must either be incredibly stupid to think a heavy drinker like myself doesnt know its bad, or you just want to insult me, and either way im not going to listen to it.

Have your liver enzymes checked. If they are elevated you already know that the best course is to stop drinking. Then the liver can begin to repair itself. Yes it can regenerate. Milk Thistle taken daily helps to detox a damaged liver and help it to recover.

when you read about different diets, for breakfast you see eat half a grapefruit, why is it a grapefruit and not an orange? whats the difference in nutrition between the two?

They are very close to each other in terms of nutrition.

Pink grapefruit has more Vitamin A than orange, that’s about it.

Grapefruit:

I’m just wondering because I go to the gym every 8 pm and that’s everyday and I work on my biceps,triceps,chest,abdomen and of course my tigh and shins. I know that your muscles grow bigger in the process of, it breaks down and regenerate to build a new and stronger one thus become bigger. So, if I go to the gym everynight during 8 pm and doing a full body building..does it help? or should I do intervals like in one day I would work on my abdomen and biceps then the next day I would work on my triceps, chest, tigh and shins so that I would give time for my muscles to regenerate?

Muscles should be given about 48 hours of rest time. Its better if you group your workouts into different days.

I’m not even certain if this question makes sense but I’m assuming you can analyze growth hormone under a microscope. If so, how does it look?

Clear, like water. Hormones are chemicals, not cells.
