Growth hormone to prevent aging

Can I take growth hormone to slow aging?

In the last two decades, growth hormone mania has gone wild. Many people seem to believe that it is the panacea for aging and many other health problems. GH is produced in a small gland (pituitary) at the base of the brain.  GH is vital for growth and development in children. It also plays a role in metabolism and growth of bone. With advanced age, the release of GH from the pituitary gland starts to decline. This has now initiated a whole industry that believes that consumers should start taking GH to replace the low levels of GH. However, the question is does GH prevent aging?

First, people who have high levels of GH also grow old and in fact, too much GH results in premature death. There is no scientific evidence that GH can stop or prevent aging. So the answer is No- GH will not make you look young but if you do take it- your physical features can become grotesque.
