will taking hgh supress your own natual production???

[MMA animal]

just currious as to if it it works the same as taking test injections?

[abijahmaniaco]

very doubtful since it's not a steroid.

[JAM]

I always wondered about this, but since it is a hormone wouldn't it be possible?  Heck anti-biotic shut off your immune system right?  So wouldn't synthetic HGH make the old pituitary stop producing? 

[Borracho]

I think it would be like your thyroid hormone shutting down when taking t3 after some point. Eventually it should come back to normal range, but does the natural average range of gh an adult makes significant

Gh comes in spikes.  That's why as a kid every few months for a week all you wanted to do was sleep and eat and then all of a sudden your clothes are too small.

For adults it is smaller spikes so you need to time your GH intake to not intefere with your body's natural production.

Be careful with GH.  Saw many stories of people needing braces for teeth growing too big etc...  GH doesn't target muscle, it makes everything grow.

LOL the fuck are you talking about? Apparently you've never used GH, teeth growing too big lol

Doesn't seem to suppress normal GH. People who had high levels of natural GH never seemed to "crash" after coming off.

OP you'll be fine.

[JAM]

I would assume synthetic HGH would suppress your natural production to a degree.  By that I mean it would have to do with the half-life.  Right? 

Example:
1.  If external HGH is in your system for say 1 hour and your body normally makes little spikes throughout the day and night.  It maybe is shutdown for the time frame you took artificial HGH?  (or a least a short period of time after until it is out of your system.)

2.  Likewise if the half-life is a week then it may shut you down longer.  Right? 

Either way when you get older it probably drops radically so a reasonable dose shouldn't do anything odd.  But this is all just my theory (no real experience with it first hand) 

I have a buddy who takes 2iu's a day 365 days a year at 40 years old.  No health problems from that dose.  Gets it from his doc so it is legit stuff.  He only reports that it seems to help him heal a little faster, it wards off tendonitis, better sleep, and things like that.  So it wasn't magic, but it did give some overall health benefits.

Teeth, bones, nails, organs, all of it grows on GH.  GH is NOT targeted to muscles.

so why don't you get taller and your dick get bigger?

[El Diablo Blanco]

Retard, you do grow taller, that is why they give it to children with stunted growth.  Fucks sakes man.  Some athletes as an adult had their feet grow 2 sizes, the size of the skull grew.  it is a fucked up drug.

[MMA animal]

so taking HGH is not a good idea then huh? damn skull growing, feet growing, jaw and what not lol wtf

[alpmaster00]

You're retarded and mad that you can't afford GH.


MMA animal, yes if you took 10-20iu gh for 10 years or more you might see some 'growth' in things like feet and hands. Again this isn't massive deformity, most people couldn't tell. And again, how many people are/can/want to use Pro BBer levels of GH?

So much shit information in this thread lol

[abijahmaniaco]

i'm not a retard and adults don't get taller when they take it. skulls grow, jaw, feet. yes, to some degree, but i feel like you're exaggerating it. i mean, look at the top guys at the o. they all obviously take it in super abundance and they don't exactly look like they're the missing link.

Given the confusion, if you are interested in HGH, simply do research outside of a forum. Unlike steroids, there are many documented trials on humans over the past 2 decades.
Simple answers: No you will not get taller. This only happens in children during puberity because they are growing, hence the additional HGH will cause more growth only during that time period.
You are confused by the name. With adults, increased HGH increases protien synthesis, and in general slows the aging process. If HGH made you grow did you wonder why you stop growing as an adult?
In very simple terms, we get older and we age. We get wrinkles and our bones begin to deteriorate. It is a scientific fact that there is a direct connection betweem aging and the face that our natural HGH production begins to decrease at the age of 18.
No your teeth won't grow, that is a fact and I find it dangerous for adults to be on here making comments without a clue as to what they are writing. When did that become ok on here?
Taking HGH will not stop or in any way reduce your natural HGH production.

Above All, please do your own research on the subject. Unlike anabolic steroids, there is an unlimited amount of factual information you can find for HGH. Don't rely on another persons oppinion when you can find the real facts and make an educated desicion on taking the substance.

hGH's big objective is to stimulate IGF-1 secretion from the liver. IGF-1 plays a role in negative feedback in the sense that it can shut down further release of hGH from the adeno.

It does this by two mechanisms:
1.) it stimulates hypothalamic release of somatostatin, which suppresses hGH release
2.) I believe it also suppresses the somatotroph cells directly (I'm going from memory, here.)

Here is a somewhat related study examining the negative feedback regulation of pulsatile growth hormone secretion by insulin-like growth factor I: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC296291/

Being that hGH results in the release of a protein that suppresses secretion of additional hGH, I would venture to say that yes: using exogenous human growth hormone will suppress your body's natural release while you are using it.
