HGH, Testosterone and other age management drugs (PEDS)

HGH, Testosterone and other age management drugs (PEDS)

This is not your Larry David PED talk. There are a lot of men out there who enjoy their Cialis and Viagra benders and that’s great, but the bottom line is they know the effect their magic blue pill will have and the possible side effects that require ER visits and loose athletic clothing.

A number of adults, male and female, age 40 + are really getting into Age Management Therapy. Which I believe needs to be called hormone therapy in the legal setting.

Many men are priming their bodies with Human growth hormone and testosterone in the hopes of feeling better, living longer and looking better. As fitness professional who has seen a number of clients use this regimen, under a doctor’s care, over the past 10 years I can say their results match the advertising.

Are they miracle drugs, no? Are they increasing the amount of time you spend on earth that remains to be seen. One thing I do know for sure is that these gentlemen are experiencing a greater quality of life then they were before. So far, I have not had a client get diagnosed with any life threatening diseases or conditions. No heart attacks, no strokes. I have witnessed clients men shedding body fat though a commitment to healthy eating, regular exercise and the hormone regimen. I have seen self esteem improve, posture improve, skin conditions clear up and the overall mood of these subjects has definitely improved.

The question remains, are these drugs safe. I have talked to several doctors who have been prescribing and using this therapy for years and they all have the same consensus. If you take more than the prescribed dose then you heighten your odds for potential side effects. Isn’t everything like that? What happens when you take too many Tylenol?

Most of my clients, that are 50 and older, are taking 1.0 IU a day of HGH and 200 mg of testosterone cypionate a week (split into 2 doses). These clients have become very lean and have shown a great improvement in their energy levels.

I do have some clients that are interested in building a lot more lean muscle mass and for that they consult the bodybuilding forums for their dosing guidelines. I must say that the stuff does work from the results I have witnessed. They usually take anywhere from 1.0 IU’s - 4 IU’s a day of HGH and 200mg – 1 gram of testosterone a week. I would not recommend doing that on a long term basis. There is very little information on long term HGH use in higher doses and you would basically be experimenting on yourself.

The best way for someone to obtain these prescriptions safely and legally is to consult with a doctor who specializes in this form of medicine. I do not suggest ordering it through the black market on the internet. You just never know what you are going to be injecting straight into your body. Usually black market HGH is counterfeit and is nothing more then HCG. A completely different hormone with a completely different dose.

This article is informative and the beliefs stated are my own. I am supplying those that are unfamiliar with this form of therapy a bit of information and mentioning real life experiences that I have had.
