It doesn't grow the area you should be most concerned about.

"It doesn't grow the area you should be most concerned about."
Such as your sense of self-worth. Ba-Dum-Tish.

Only thing I know on this subject is that they can help one lose weight. Improve muscle tone, with proper workout routine, I have never seen any one treated for increased brain and memory function side affect from what i hear are not real severe and not really estabished in my area. Im not a doctor im a nurse and had some experience but not alot.

Growth Hormone works best before and during puberty, at which time it stimulates bone growth at the growth plates. Too much GH after puberty causes Acromegaly, a condition in which the bones become enlarged and coarse. Too much GH can also cause diabetes mellitus.

Just say no.

If you're old enough to post on Apolyton then it's too late.

Just get some cream and clear from Barry Bonds's trainer.
