However, a recent study found that the benefits of growth hormone are limited and taking the drug may pose serious health risks.

My doctor would prescribe it for me if he weren&amp;#39;t afraid. He has an anti-aging specialty.&lt;/p&gt;

Gray</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I take both HGH and Testosterone and the difference is amazing. I get by very well with 6 hours of sleep a night, have the energy of a twenty year old and have gained muscle mass.&lt;/p&gt;
