What is Human Growth Hormone?

Posted by Cliff on from the who-hasn't-gottten-this-one-yet dept.

EelBait asks: "I get a lot of spam selling Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Supposedly this stuff builds muscles, make one lose weight, enlarges various external organs and glands, etc., etc. Does anyone really know any good articles about this? Is it dangerous? The fact that it's being sold through spam is enough to give me pause, but I want to know if there are any legitimate uses for this stuff."

    Human Growth Hormone has some legitimate uses -- in a nutshell, stimulating growth -- if your growth is stunted by lack of. Otherwise, no.

    Besides, I'm sure the HGH being sold by spam is only the pureset, unadulterated, and completely legit you can get. In fact, if you need money to buy it, I'll give you $419,000,000 if you help me get some funds out of Nigeria.
