Human growth hormone these days has been advertised in so many ways, including the fact of its' probable effectiveness in healing sports injuries. It is a known fact that HGH is also marketed as a drug to enhance performance in sports, which is questionable at best. However because of all the marketing hype and all the endorsements HGH receives from both athletes and celebrities, it is easy to be enticed and join the HGH bandwagon. Therefore this additional claim of improved healing by the manufacturers does not come as much of a surprise because of its' connection to sports.
What studies have shown is the fact that HGH does have an effect on bone tissue and faster healing in cases of fractures. The problem faced here is that there have been no concrete clinical studies presented to prove long term effectiveness and possible side-effects. Furthermore, these athletes also think that taking HGH can increase their energy while at the same time, they think that they are able to work harder than ever, and still recuperate faster. Again, no concrete tests have shown that this is actually true. It is all the fruit of marketing strategies with the aim of selling the most HGH products humanely possible.
This fact opens these athletes to the risks of excessive use of HGH, and makes them more susceptible to illnesses that they were in no danger of developing before they tried taking it. These include illnesses such as acromelagy which is suffering from excessive amounts of growth hormone. There is also a higher risk of developing diabetes, certain types of cancers, swelling and joint pains, edema and a host of other complications that could certainly be life threatening.
These athletes likewise need to know that those companies who are selling these products to enhance their healing and athletic performance are actually doing something that is outright illegal. They should know that the only legal uses of HGH are those that treat either growth problems, or problems involving muscle atrophy. Some studies have also been made of HGH used as an antidepressant, but these are limited.
Armed with the knowledge that HGH cannot transform an athlete into one who has the healing powers of "Wolverine," and knowing of the possible dangerous side effects should put them immediately on guard whenever it comes to the purchase of any HGH products.
Proper information campaigns about the correct use of Human Growth Hormones is the only way to battle all the lies that those marketing HGH for all the wrong reasons have done. In the end this problem should have been addressed much earlier, and not made to merely spiral out of control. The fact is clear that action needs to be taken against all these ineffective HGH products. Taking into account the demand for a miracle product that can improve down time for injuries sustained by athletes, studies should likewise be made to find such treatments that can make people recover faster from whatever injuries they may have sustained.
