A lot of people at the gym I go to have recommended it for me. I noticed it costed $75 and I was wondering if anyone thought it was worth it or if it wasn't.

These are reasons why not to take these items.... I actually found these side effects listed on a site selling the items... but in very very small print-

A significant number of users will have Side effects which include:

Overgrowth of hands, feet, and face (acromegaly) because of the increased muscle and bone development in these parts
Enlarged internal organs, especially heart, kidneys, tongue and liver
Heart problems
Death

If the people selling the stuff say this, do you really want it?

In other words- my recommendation is not to take it.

Most of the studiest done on growth hormone products were conducted on elderly or middle aged people, so just out of curiousity...How old are you?

Dude you have also used the andriol correct? Where the heck are you lifting that there is that much steroid use going on. You know what leave the ego at the door and make your gains natural!! Also this site is more geared towards the every day man and family like atmoshpere. You might get a few responses about the anabolics but as a most part no one here condones them!!

To answer Skinny's question, I am 16 years old. To answer mmaibohm question, I go to the Power House in Chattanooga, TN.. More than likely 50% or more of the people there are on steroids or HGH.

dvelswk the reason you think more than 50% of the people at your gym use steroids is because they are probably considerably older than you and have been training much longer and so have much better results....either in terms of muscle or strength....(I am probably the strongest guy at my gym and I am sure that's what people say about me because some people approached me to find out where I get my juice...however I go to a fairly recreational gym...if I step into a hardcore gym I would be the weakest of the bunch....so it's all relative...)......when making comparisons look at things like relative age to you, relative training experience, size, etc....

steroid use is actually quite small...it's a non-issue...it's been overblown...I personally don't even know how people can afford steroids...they are very expensive...real Hgh is over 1000$ a month for however long the treatment cycle is....the other crap you see online are 'releasers/precursors' or some other bs...it's like taking a multivitamin expecting Dianabol results........

At 16 you have no business taking anything except a multivitamin...that's it....you haven't even peaked with your natural testosterone which happens at around 18....it's disturbing how quickly newbies to lifting as well as young lifters resort to or consider takign crazy supplements or even steroids to get their results...

I think another member here 'gatormade' said it best...to paraphrase him...'steroids are for those weak in spirit'...

You can make gains by doing just about anything at 16....the keys are.....full body free weights training, good nutrition(6-8 healthy meals/snacks, with bodyweight in protein a day), and 8 hours minimum of sleep.....

seriously....avoid the hype and skip the supplements at least for the next 2-3 years....

Growth hormone is a very expensive undertaking, and a continuous thing. There is no powder or pills for 20 bucks that is true growth hormone. If I remember correctly, gh consists of about 180 amino acids that are taken via injection. It has to be this way to cross the blood brain barrier.

Don't fall for the 20 dollar stuff. It doesn't work.
