What is Human Growth Hormone?

Posted by Cliff on Monday December 16, 2002 @06:01PM 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."

No regeneration, not exactly...
You know, some people get in their old age a glandiary deficiency and they start having growth hormones again. What happens is that some parts of their body, especially nose and ears start to grow again...
