According to the history, centuries ago, explorer Ponce DeLeon searched in vain for a Fountain of Youth. Even today, consumers explore store shelves, sail through a tide of TV, internet and radio ads, and navigate the Internet for an elixir to help them maintain a lean, strong body and wrinkle-free skin. Some modern marketers of pills and sprays claim to have found a Fountain of Youth in a substance called HGH (Human Growth Hormone).
With so much bombardment of all kinds of products and brands in the market, there are also various myths, misconceptions and false assumptions associated with the use of HGH. Some of these myths include:
Myth 1: HGH Sprays work faster than anything else
Fact: Remember, it is your pituitary gland that produces HGH in the body. Therefore, taking HGH does not affect the gland itself. Even if this would enhance the pituitary function, there is no evidence that HGH can be effectively absorbed through the mouth. The best way, therefore, would be something that would actually affect and "stimulate pituitary gland" to naturally release HGH. Taking a natural and safe herbal supplement, such as HGH Advanced, acts exactly in the same way.
Myth 2: HGH can always enhance your height
Fact: This assumption or myth is absolutely untrue. While it is HGH that affects your height & stature especially in the developing phase of your life (before the age of 21), no studies have proved that taking HGH by any means will actually help you grow taller after you have already achieved your maximum height. It should be remembered that our height usually stops growing at the age of 21 because of the fusion of the ends of our various body bones and their joints. Some people, however, go for 25 as the age when boys stop growing taller.These are, however, only rare exceptions.
Myth 3: HGH administration is always safe
Fact: Taking HGH is not always safe and its safety actually depends on a variety of factors such as the form HGH is being taken in, your age, your diseased state and other physiological factors. Taking HGH through injections or capsules, for example can have really serious effects such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels and various other physiological and even psychological side effects.
Myth 4: Taking HGH is same as taking "steroids".
Fact: Steroids (while also hormones) belong to an entirely different class of hormones that act in a different way and are composed differently. Steroids are mainly taken to "increase" your physical power and weight lifting / athletic ability. HGH, on the other hand, is taken to enhance your growth. Another big difference between HGH and Anabolic steroids is the fact that HGH is much easier to absorb without the need to inject. Also, unlike HGH, steroids do not have any "anti-aging" effect and are their long-term use is associated with more serious and frequent side effects as compared to HGH.
Myth 5: All HGH boosters work alike
Fact: This is another baseless myth. Remember, the best safe and natural way to normalize or increase your blood HGH levels is to "stimulate" the pituitary gland itself. Therefore, taking the "readymade HGH" injections or pills, for example, is not the same as asking the "HGH factory" (pituitary gland) itself to manufacture / produce more HGH naturally. HGH Advanced is one of such natural herbal-based supplements that "charge" your pituitary gland to produce more quantities of HGH by natural means.
