Hgh Supplements Versus Hgh Injections

In their commonest usage, the initials HGH stand for the Human Growth Hormone

. This is one of the most important hormones in the human body. It is the one that is responsible for promoting bodily growth, as its name suggests. But it also has a number of other functions that make it even more critical. It is, for instance, also the hormone that is responsible for ensuring optimal energy levels in the body; which it does by promoting the various processes in the body through which energy is made and utilized. This is the hormone responsible for muscle development, with the muscles in turn being the sites through which the body achieves, among other things, its mobility. The human growth hormone is also in charge of lipolysis, the process via which fat is broken down into energy in the body; so that without adequate levels of it, fat tends to keep on accumulating, leading to weight problems.

From that brief exploration of HGH functions, it is not hard to see that most people who are awake to its workings would desire to have adequate levels of it (and we have not even mentioned the fact that decline its levels plays an important role in the acceleration of the aging process). From that exploration, it is also not hard to see that this is a hormone whose deficiency would greatly interfere with the quality of life for the person in whom such a deficiency is manifest.

So we end up with two situations in which people could want to raise there HGH levels. The first would be where they have reasonably healthy levels of the hormone, but where they want even higher levels of it in pursuit of the various benefits such accentuated HGH levels come with. And the second would be where they are faced with HGH deficiencies, and where they have to somehow find a way of bridging those deficiencies.

Now in raising HGH levels, one has the option of using the numerous HGH supplements or getting directly injected with HGH. The supplements used in the former approach are meant to stimulate the body to produce more human growth hormone. The injections used in the latter case, on the other hand, involve the direct introduction into the body of 'ready-made' human growth hormone. Either approach has an upside and a downside to it.

The advantage of the approach where HGH supplements are used is that it is a 'natural' process, where the body is simply stimulated to produce more of the hormone - subject to control through the negative feedback system. This ensures that there are adequate levels of the hormone, but there is never an excess of it. And this is important, because desirable as an adequate level of HGH is, an excess of it can be very dangerous. The disadvantage with supplement based approach is that it can be some time before the heightened HGH levels can be achieved and there is no guarantee of it working. The latter fact would be because the sites where HGH is produced in the body (which are what the supplements are supposed to stimulate to produce more hormones) may have become shut down or permanently slowed down, so that no level of stimulation will make them optimally productive.

The advantage of the approach where HGH is directly injected into the body is that it is a 'surefire' method, where the body ends up with high levels of the hormone almost instantly. This disadvantage with this approach though, is that the hormone so introduced into the body is not subject to the negative feedback control system, meaning that the person using it is at risk of ending up with an excess - and the dangers associated with an excess - of the HGH.

For that reason, many people opt to make use of the slow-acting acting, but safer supplements, in their quest for higher levels of the HGH.
