The Benefits of Using HGH for Body Building

By Jennifer

If you want to bulk up for body building then HGH injections or powder solutions may be exactly what you need. Human Growth Hormone or HGH as it is commonly called has been in use by both amateur and professional body builders since the early seventies.  When HGH is taken with the right combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises it can help shed fat and build lean muscle mass.  This muscle-building is accomplished without the upsetting psychological and physical side effects associated with taking anabolic steroids.

 

Yet another benefit of this hormonal supplement is that it can help quickly increase performance and muscle growth.  It helps athletes break through body-building plateaus when it seems there is no more strength or muscle to built. It pushes the human body that one inch or one pound further… It is the preferred supplement of all kinds of Olympic and professional athletes because as of 2007, it has not been banned for use in competition.

 

The dosage of human growth hormone that you need to take in order to boost your athletic performance or bulk up your muscle can depend on a lot of factors including your weight, height and goals as a competitor. The dosages for athletic related performance can be as low as 2 IU injections a day to 101 IU a day.  The lower your dose is the less at risk you are for side effects but the higher the dose is the quicker you will be able to showcase a prize winning physique.

 

As with most bodybuilding supplements moderation is key if you want to avoid nasty side effects. Few side effects are seen at 4 IU a day but once you take over 8 units a day you could develop an abnormality called Acromegaly.  This is a disorder that causes jutting of the brow and forehead, carpal tunnel, tunnel vision, increased perspiration and developing spaces between the seats.

 

A contentious issue with regards to hormone injections is the use of them in conjunction with injectible insulin in order to enhance muscle size, density and make the veins “pop on the muscles” (also known as vascularity.)  Using insulin in this way is very dangerous and comes with the risk of developing diabetes.

Benefits include the ability to remineralize bone, increase calcium absorption, the reduction of body fat, the building of new muscle cells the quicker synthesis of protein and increased stamina.

 

Unlike anabolic steroids, the human growth hormone can be used in low doses for an unlimited length of time. In fact for best results, human growth injections should be taken every day for at least two months and then stopped.
