Human Growth Hormone part 7

Availability

The majority of individuals get their HGH through illegal means. In some cases, the product is stolen from pharmacies. Sometimes it is unscrupulous physicians who prescribe it for off label use. GH is also smuggled in from Mexico and Europe. There are also many pharmacies in cyberspace that sell GH.

In the majority of cases, the Internet pharmacies are run by physicians who simply write a prescription without seeing the patient. Many individuals buy GH this way and then sell it on the black market.

Even though the only appropriate way to administer HG is via an injection, there are many people who market GH as a spray pill or a topical gel. The GH molecule is only minimally absorbed when inhaled or placed underneath the tongue.

Limitations of testing

Synthetic GH is very difficult to detect in the body. The current methods can’t detect GH more than 48 hours after the last injection and most athletes are aware of this fact. A favorite question by any athlete today before he starts to take any illicit drug is if there is a test for it.
