Can I Use HGH Injections Mainly for Bodybuilding?

Q: Forget about health! I really just want to try HGH for aesthetic, body-building purposes. Asking for a friend.

A: I understand that you may have some curiosity or interest in trying HGH for those purposes. However, you should know that there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. HGH is not approved by the FDA for these purposes and experts recommend against using it unless you really need it – that is, unless you really are being made weak or flabby or aging too rapidly because of adult-onset HGH deficiency. The good news is that, if you really are low on HGH, our clinic will find that out quickly and optimize your HGH levels so they are perfect again, banishing the weakness and premature aging that true HGH deficiencies can cause.

HGH is sometimes illicitly used in huge doses by competitive athletes, but in the long term HGH overdose is harmful to performance. What you really need is optimize your HGH levels so they are exactly what they should be. That’s the legal, legitimate, and proper use of HGH we specialize in.

Using HGH for illegitimate purposes and possibly overdosing on it can be very risky and harmful. Too much HGH can cause a number of side effects for healthy adults, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, increased insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, swelling in the arms and legs, joint and muscle pain, enlargement of breast tissue in men, and increased risk of certain cancers. Moreover, using HGH illegally can expose you to legal consequences and penalties.

Therefore, I would strongly advise you not to try HGH for illegitimate or illegal purposes. You should only use HGH if you have a medical condition that requires it and under the supervision of a clinic like ours. Everyone, our HGH patients included, should also look for other natural and safe ways to improve your health, well-being, and performance, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.

Q: What are the legal consequences of trying HGH for improper purposes?

That can have serious legal consequences. HGH is a prescription drug that is regulated by the FDA and can only be prescribed for specific medical conditions that are approved by the FDA. Distribution of HGH for other uses is illegal.

According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), HGH is a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This means that it has a potential for abuse and dependence, and that its proper use must be monitored by a health care provider. Possession or distribution of HGH without a valid prescription is a federal crime that can result in fines, imprisonment, or both.

Therefore, you should not try HGH without a valid prescription from a clinic like ours. You should also avoid buying HGH from foreign online pharmacies or other sources that may be selling counterfeit, contaminated, or expired products. You should only use HGH as directed by a board-certified physician, like the ones at our clinic, and for the condition that it was prescribed for.

Q: Can a licensed US health care provider legitimately prescribe HGH for "off-label" purposes in some cases?

The answer to this question is not very clear-cut. According to the FDA, it is not permitted to use HGH for purposes other than those authorized by the FDA. So you may not use it for off-label benefits. However, some sources suggest that physicians may have some degree of freedom in deciding what to prescribe HGH for, as long as they do so for a legitimate medical purpose and not for cosmetic or performance-enhancing reasons.

The FDA does not monitor what HGH is prescribed for in individual practice, but it can investigate violations of laws on use of HGH in collaboration with the DEA. Possession or distribution of HGH without a valid prescription is a federal crime that can result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Therefore, you should be very careful about using HGH for off-label purposes and only do so under the guidance of a licensed health care provider like our clinic, who can prescribe it for you legally and safely.
