subject: Human Growth Hormone: Myth Vs. Fact [print this page] Human growth hormone is often recognized by those of the general public. Many recognize the word, but have no idea what it refers to or what its purpose it. Others recognize the word and have a general idea of what it is and what its purpose is. But most recognize the word and assign it mythical healing properties that just don't really apply in reality.
Human growth hormone is heavily overused due to the inaccurate definitions floating around amongst the general public. It is often described as an all purpose anti-aging serum. And this is not an accurate use of the hormone. This belief has resulted in a large portion of the public assuming that all hormone balancing treatments are inaccurate and unnecessary. But in truth they just have to be based upon clinical deficiencies and accurate level testing. When it comes to human growth hormone only about 15% of all tested have a clinical deficiency.
Many believe that they have a problem with their weight that is a result of a lack of appropriate human growth hormone levels. And some even believe that a problem with weight can be solved by additional human growth hormone regardless of current levels. This is a misconception that can lead to negative consequences for the individual being treated with human growth hormone without a clinical deficiency. And considering the fact that only about 15% of those tested for deficiencies are actually deficient that leaves a lot of people looking to use human growth hormone without any real reason.
Qualified professionals can conduct thorough complete health evaluations that can identify clinical deficiencies of human growth hormone. Included in a complete health evaluation are various hormone measurements including: insulin levels, human growth hormone levels, thyroid levels, testosterone levels, etc. Prior to any sort of hormone balancing treatment a full view of the entire system is necessary. Then accurate deficiency treatment can be administered.
For a large portion of those who have low level results or even actual deficiencies natural solutions can solve the problem. Reputable cosmetic center and qualified professionals typically begin treatment with a prescription for exercise and better nutrition. This can naturally balance hormone levels and result in an increase in human growth hormone. Sometimes this is the only treatment needed.
There's no way to reverse the mythical beliefs that human growth hormone is endowed with magical anti-aging properties. Qualified professionals can continue to educate patients and potential patients and assure them that expecting miracles from human growth hormone regardless of actual need for hormone treatment is a bad move.
