Can HGH fight the aging process?

This is a question pondered by many the world over. Some claim that HGH is a wonder drug that stems the tide of aging, but not everybody. So what’s the evidence to suggest it helps in the endless fight against aging?
It was a study that was carried out in 1990 that first turned people’s attention to HGH as an anti aging device. The test involved a group of men over 60 being given an HGH supplement for a period of time. Another group of men of the same age bracket too were given a placebo. Results showed that the men who had received the supplement saw an increase of lean body mass and a decrease of fatty tissue. Sounds pretty convincing doesn’t it? This is not exactly however the full picture though and many doctors and scientists have poked a number of wholes in this argument.
First off they say that a test that is not carried out for longer than six months cannot really provide an accurate and long term picture, and possible side effects may not have had time to manifest. Additionally, they say that there may be other reasons why the results came back as they did. Namely that the HGH supplement could have simply allowed the muscles to store more water.
The debate continues therefore about HGH and its effects on the human body. At the moment, although there are plenty of products to be found on the market, there is no conclusive proof that they help in the battle against aging. Undoubtedly tests will continue and perhaps one day there will a breakthrough and HGH will be labelled a miracle and wonder drug.
