Vivian James, a professor at the University of London produced information on the effects of different performance enhancing drugs. Here is what she had to say about the human growth hormone:
A natural substance produced by the pituitary gland in the brain, HGH controls muscle and bone growth and reduces the amount of fat circulating in the body. Again, combined with exercise it causes muscle growth. A major side effect when used in large amounts is the onset of fluid retention. It also alters the way the heart works.
This was reported in The Guardian.
More and more doctors are talking about the benefits of HGH which gives it credibility. In time, hgh may become a mainstream substance for use in non performance enhancing instances.
