Anti Aging Skin Tips

Why is HGH illegal to use if you are not a professional athlete?

I mean, what does it do that makes it illegal? Does it alter your perception, thereby making you unable to drive or work? Does it cause strange, dangerous, behaviour and thus could be used to harm people? Is it seriously addictive? I just don't understand.

1. Um, because it can possibly KILL you! Many parents have lost their athlete children to the use of HGH, and the las thing we need is the pros using it and thereby making the "regular" high school/ college athletes thinkings it's okay. Duh.
2. HGH is not illegal, lots of doctors will prescribe it to people, especially older people. Susan Summers raves about them. They are banned from most pro sports, so athlete can't use them to increase performance, but there are legal uses as well
3. It's a prescription drug available by doctor's prescription. It is not legal for athletes to use, as most sports consider it a performance enhancing drug. HGH work to increase certain hormones, such as testosterone, to help improve stamina, speed and strength. In a similar way that steroids do, but it is considered safer. HGH is usually prescribed when a person is producing below normal levels, as indicated by lab results. It's available to anyone that a doctor believes will benefit from it, and writes a prescription for.
4. It's a prescription drug, perfectly legal to use when you have a medical condition which can be improved by its use. Like all prescription drugs, it's illegal to use if you do not have a prescription for it, or if the prescription was obtained fraudulently.
5. Because of 1988 and 1990 amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, off-label distribution or provision of human growth hormone to treat aging or age-associated illnesses is illegal in the United States, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The findings, which were peer-reviewed by independent experts and by the journal's legal counsel, appear in the Oct. 26 issue. A team of three noted health researchers revealed a largely unknown and unenforced law that thousands of entrepreneurs and physicians are breaking.
6. There was a report on TV just this morning on a study that shows G\HGH is actually not effective as used by athletes, etc. but that the undesirable effects are still there..Why would someone want to take this if all it does is give you side effects??
7. Hgh is not illegal to use. It is illegal to sell it to someone who does not have a prescription. It is pretty stupid to use if you do not have a medical condition that requires it for treatment. There are no psycoactive effects. No strange behavior and it is not addictive. The jury is still out on use as an anti-aging product. Some parts of the medical community are opposed including the FDA. Some doctors swear by it. I personally have talked to hundreds of users over the age of 40 who think it is great and that the goverment is nuts. Only people who have the growth hormone defiency are going to benefit.
8. I've had a prescription myself, so it's not illegal.. The truth is, the pharmaceutical industry owns the FDA. See my source for some details...
