What HGH Can and Cannot Do
What HGH therapy can do:
- Reduce excess body fat, especially abdominal fat. (The reduction of abdominal fat is the single most profound effect of HGH replacement.)
- Increase muscle mass (and physical strength if combined with moderate exercise).
- Reduce wrinkling of the skin and some other effects of skin aging.
- Re-grow internal organs that have atrophied with age.
- Increase bone density.
- Strengthen the immune system.
What HGH cannot do:
- It cannot eliminate the effects of oxidation damage, although it may alleviate some of it.
- It cannot undo the effects of cardiovascular disease, although it sometimes reduces some of its effects. It can also slow its progression by improving one’s cholesterol profile.
- It cannot eliminate the effects of the reduction of other hormones. In fact, a deficiency of certain other hormones will decrease the beneficial effects of HGH.
- It cannot significantly reverse the damage to human proteins caused by glucose, although it may reverse a little of this damage.
- Although it helps skin to look younger, it cannot eliminate all of the damage cause by sunlight and other ultraviolet sources.
