HGH is used legally to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. It is illegal to use HGH to get an unfair advantage in athletic competition.
Growth Hormone Deficiency
Merck Manual says that the most common hormone deficiency involving the pituitary gland in children is growth hormone deficiency. The child might make too little of several pituitary hormones or only have a growth hormone deficit. Usually, children with this hormone deficiency grow slowly. Their bodies have the same proportions as typical children, but these children are at the low end of the height spectrum.
A person can develop a growth hormone deficiency in adulthood or be an adult whose deficiency began during childhood.

Understanding Growth Hormone Deficiency in Adults
If the tiny pituitary gland does not make enough hormones, a person can develop hypopituitarism, according to the Mayo Clinic. Although the pituitary gland is only about the size of a kidney bean, this gland is an essential part of the body’s endocrine system. Growth hormone deficiency can be the result of the pituitary gland’s failure to make any or enough of one or more hormones.
Growth hormones regulate the routine functions of the human body. A person with hypopituitarism can experience reproductive problems, have abnormal blood pressure, and not reach full adult height. Most people with this medical condition need to supplement their growth hormone levels for the duration of their lives. A physician would use HGH legally to treat low growth hormone levels.
Recognizing Growth Hormone Deficits
Sometimes the indications of this hormone deficiency develop suddenly and without warning. In these situations, there is a concern that the patient might have a pituitary tumor.
For most people, the symptoms come on slowly and continue to worsen. It can take months or years for the signs to become noticeable. In a person with adult-onset growth hormone deficit, the symptoms are subtle, including things like fatigue, differences in the composition of body fat, and weak muscles.
Additional indications that a person might have low levels of growth hormones are:
- Feeling depressed
- Gaining weight unrelated to changes in diet
- Experiencing less muscle building from workouts
- Struggling to perform in the bedroom
Many people find that their growth hormone levels lessen over time. Since growth hormone helps the body to repair its cells, decreased ability to do so can lead to a slower metabolism and weaker bones and muscles. When the connective tissue cannot renew itself, the person can have sagging skin. Also, it can take longer to get back on one’s feet after an illness or injury.
Traditionally, these symptoms are hallmarks of aging. If a person’s signs are the result of low HGH levels, however, sometimes it is possible to reverse or slow the effects of the passage of time.
When a person feels more energetic and healthy, he can have an improved outlook on life, instead of depression or anxiety about the future. He can feel more confident, which can lead to greater success in his career and more enjoyment in his romantic relationships. Even the quality of sleep can get better, and he can wake up well-rested and ready to take on the challenges of the day.

How to Get HGH Therapy
Although there are over-the-counter products that claim to contain HGH, it is illegal for any non-prescription substance to contain any HGH. The only legal HGH is the injectable form that a person obtains through a doctor’s prescription.
We understand the desire to save money. Still, a person who buys any form of HGH other than by injection and does not obtain the medication from a legitimate source (with a doctor’s prescription) risks his health and life. The pills, powders, shakes, and nasal sprays that online websites sell are fake.
If those products do contain any HGH, they are illegal. Since these substances do not get regulated by the government, they can contain contaminants or other dangerous chemicals. Also, digestive enzymes in the intestines break down HGH. So even if a pill does contain the authentic substance, it will be useless long before it enters the bloodstream.
