Implications Of The Human Growth Hormone (HGH):

The HGH found some of its first applications on children who suffered from a stunted growth with its bone and muscle boosting properties. When it was successfully isolated in 1956 it was touted as a medical marvel.

Extracted from the pituitary gland in the brain, this hormone faced a lot of controversy in the days when genetic engineering had not yet taken hold of the medical research community. This is mainly because the only source of this hormone was a human corpse.

But today HGH is produced synthetically in laboratories and though not yet approved by the FDA; it finds a lot of applications, the foremost of which are anti-ageing products and cosmetic surgery treatments.

The human ageing hormone is supposed to decrease fat and pump up the muscles while also improving the skin texture and a person’s sexual drive. There are a lot of self-styled specialists and cosmetic surgeons who exclusively deal with anti-ageing products and administer them to the jet-set in America.

The Food and Drug Association (FDA) of America is an authority on drugs that are manufactured and distributed in America. It decides and sets the standards of quality for any drug, pill or medicine prescribed and administered by a member of the medical profession.
