Growing Taller Through HGH Therapy

Most of the people have the desire to become tall and lot of people ask question about the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) whether it can help in growing them taller. In fact, it can only help when you are a child or at your growing age. HGH is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and is also responsible for growth and development of the human body. There are fluctuations in the behavior of pituitary gland. Low levels of HGH in the body can be the result of abnormal pituitary gland and hormonal imbalance.

HGH Therapy does affect height of a person. Children who have deficiency of HGH usually grow shorter in height. On the other hand, some of children with lower HGH levels have more fat around their bodies, like in the waist and they look a lot younger than their age. Some might experience a slow dental development. If the physical development of your child is slow, then you should immediately consult your pediatrician. This treatment is very effective during the period of early development of child. On the other hand if the structure of child bone stops developing then this treatment becomes less effective.

In order to speed up the child’s development Human Growth Hormone injections are often given and almost six injections per week need to be given to the child. The prescribed HGH injections are not just time consuming, but they are very expensive as well. These injections do not work on people who are naturally short and do not have any hormonal deficiency.
