 A study by Thomas T Perls, published in the Journal of Gerontology in 2004, criticised the excessive claims made by producers of HGH treatments and the lack of evidence to support them. The article refers to many sellers of HGH as “quacks”. This particular focuses on the selling of HGH through the Internet. This is probably where most users of the treatment obtain their hormone, yet it is, as the study suggests, a dangerous place to buy from. Incorrect dosage of HGH can be very dangerous, and there are various side-effects which a doctor would be able to warn about, but which online adverts rarely do.
 HGH is being widely used to prevent several visible signs of aging, and some people who use it are convinced that it has been beneficial. However, the evidence, and the medical authorities in the US, does not seem to support their views. For the moment at least, HGH remains a public treatment for disease and deficiency only. It is unlikely to be prescribed officially for anti-aging any time soon.
