Some experts say its beauty effect is amazing.
Growth hormone is an important hormone secreted by human pituitary gland, which controls growth, immunity and metabolism. 65438-0958 American endocrinologist Ruben helped a child with developmental retardation grow taller by in vitro injection for the first time. In the middle of last century, German expert Hanniman developed a "life jade liquid" that can make soldiers live forever under Hitler's orders, discovered the anti-aging effect of growth hormone, and was introduced into the field of anti-aging beauty.
The most traditional methods of using growth hormone for beauty are swallowing pills and intramuscular injection. Recently, two new methods have appeared: oral drops and sublingual sprays. Because it is known as the only substance in the world that can "reverse aging" so far, it can be more effective and safer than Botox injection, collagen injection and silica gel filling.
Dr. Ronald Coates, Dean of the American Institute of Anti-aging Medicine, said in the book "10 Week Makes You Young": "This slimming method has no side effects. When growth hormone binds to the corresponding receptors on fat cells, fat burning will accelerate, and at the same time, by binding with insulin, fat formation will be inhibited, thus achieving the goal of losing weight. "
Coates also mentioned that the use of growth hormone has obvious cosmetic effects. Clinical trials show that 88% people's muscle strength increases and 72% people become thinner after external force increases the level of growth hormone. 7 1% people's hair quality has been improved, 7 1% people's skin elasticity has increased, 5 1% people's wrinkles have disappeared, and 38% people even grow new hair.
Some experts say it has great side effects.
However, criticism of the use of growth hormone in the beauty industry is also one after another. Dr. Daniel Rodman of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine pointed out many times in his paper that using growth hormone for beauty is not without its shortcomings, and people also have misunderstandings about it:
First of all, it is expensive. Laboratory research shows that if the growth hormone in beauty products is to play a role, it will cost at least $65,438+0,000 a month. Obviously, it is impossible for beauty salons to advertise "only $65,438+0,000 per month".
Secondly, the manufacturers claim that these products have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But in fact, this beauty product can only be regarded as nutrition. However, in the nutrition education law of 1994, the US Congress stipulates that nutrition does not need the approval of the FDA, so it is not credible to move out of the FDA.
Third, any hormone injected in vitro will have side effects. When growth hormone is used in beauty, the demand is large, and the probability of side effects is greater. According to a report in the British medical journal The Lancet, the incidence of colon cancer increased among people who used non-synthetic growth hormone during the period of 1959- 1985. Although injection of this hormone in vitro helps muscle growth, at the same time, cancer cells that would not grow and get sick may be activated, thus increasing the risk of cancer. Recently, there have been three cases of blood cancer caused by long-term injection of growth hormone. Although the biological relationship between cancer and growth hormone has not been found, it is necessary to monitor people who use this hormone for a long time.
Finally, because growth hormone is a complex amino acid, if taken orally, it will decompose before reaching blood vessels, so those so-called oral products lack scientific basis.
Healthy methods of supplementing growth hormone
Whether the beauty effect of growth hormone is magical or terrible remains to be further studied, but Dr. Rodman hopes that people should use it carefully to lose weight and resist aging until further scientific confirmation.
In fact, changing bad living habits, increasing sleep and exercising more can also improve the secretion of growth hormone in the body. Therefore, if you want to regain your youth and lose weight, you must cultivate a healthy lifestyle, which is more natural and safer.
