human growth hormone, hgh side effectsWe’ve all read the horror stories about potential HGH side effects and heard about baseball players using HGH products to enhance their performance. However, not all news about Human Growth Hormone is negative. There is an article about Human Growth Hormone on the Scientific American website. According to this article, Human Growth Hormone could actually reverse the brain damage caused by the abuse of opiates such as heroin and methadone.
Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden claim that brain cells which die prematurely from sustained opiate abuse may be recovered by injections of synthetic Human Growth Hormone. The scientists believe their findings could provide to innovative methods to treat and stop mental impairment from the use of opiates in addicts as well as patients who take the drug in order to manage their pain.
Therefore it seems that Human Growth Hormone has its uses. I guess it is up to the individual to weigh the potential HGH side effects against the benefits. I certainly wouldn’t like to take HGH, but I haven’t damaged my brain via opiate addiction.
