Hi. Has anyone had any success with using growth hormone. I've heard some good things and was curious.

I would like to try and get some too. I know lots of people on the "black market" who can get it, but I'd rather talk to a health professional and really sit down and talk pros and cons. HGH (human growth hormone) is not something to play with so I would NEVER trust getting it from anyone other than a doctor.
Are you wanting to do injections? I personally want to find some sort of pill form, but let me know if you come up with anything, and ill do the same

I would want to do injections. I've tried my conventioal GI for this but he didn't seem to keen on the idea. I will try other means of getting it and see how they go. Their are a lot of anti-aging clinics out there and they commonly prescribe them. The research looks very promising.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but am interested in GH too. You could try talking to an endocrinologist. I've had digestive issues forever that have been called IBS. I went to a great endo that noticed my IGF-1 levels were low and put me on GH. The digestive issues completely went away after a few months. It was funny, as I wasn't really paying attention to the digestive issues because I was feeling so much better in so many ways.
Unfortunately, my insurance company quit paying for the medication after the 1st year, and the benefits from the GH disappeared within about 6 months. My digestive issues were back and much worse. I've lost 45 pounds in a few months and working towards a diagnosis of Crohn's (ASCA iga,igg positive). Can't find a good GI doc in my area. I'm now trying my best to get the insurance to cover the GH. It's very expensive at about $1500 - $2000 / month for my dosage.
