Human growth hormone (HGH) is secreted from the pituitary gland in healthy individuals. Hormone disorders and aging can cause a deficiency in HGH secretion. Hormone replacement therapy is a safe and effective way to boost the level of HGH in the body. HGH has few side effects as long as there is no overdose. Some benefits have a lasting effect, such as if a child uses HGH to grow in height. Most other benefits last for a few months after treatment is concluded as the body slowly returns to the pretreatment condition. While taking HGH, patients improve their resistance to infection, increase bone density, heal faster, increase lean muscle, have improved kidney and heart functions and sleep better. HGH is administered with a syringe, usually at home by the patient or a caretaker.
