There are eight brand names and generic forms of human growth hormone (HGH) that are available on the market in the United States. These medications are only obtainable by prescription from a licensed doctor or other healthcare provider. They are all controlled substances that are monitored by the US government to avoid adverse effects and make sure they are not abused or misused. The eight brands of HGH are commonly prescribed to treat adults with growth hormone deficiency are:
The eight HGH types are all genuine HGH with the full 191 amino acid sequences. They are only available after a blood test has been performed to confirm that a growth hormone deficiency is present. Administration of endogenous growth hormone has been clinically proven to replace the HGH that your body can no longer make on its own and are quite effective for treating growth hormone deficiencies.
The prescribing doctor will determine which of the eight brands and generic human growth hormone a person will need, depending upon their medical testing and symptoms and reason for growth hormone therapies. The physicians will decide which medication will be best based on (1) a blood test, (2) a medical exam, and (3) a medical history form.
HGH injections are given once or twice daily for patients with growth hormone deficiencies. The daily dosage of HGH varies by your age, body weight and the condition it is being prescribed for. The eight different types of HGH injections we discuss on these pages are made by several different manufacturers. They are all brands of the same medication, somatropin, which is an injectable form of HGH. They vary in their dosages and injection methods.
The dosage of HGH injections that will be prescribed for you depends on several factors, including the following:
You are usually started out at the lowest effective dose of HGH, and your dose increments will likely increase over the course of your program.

WHERE CAN YOU GET HGH INJECTIONS LEGALLY?
You can only purchase HGH injections legally in the US with a doctor’s prescription. Any product you can buy online or anywhere else that claims to be human growth hormone or contain human growth hormone cannot by law contain any actual HGH. Furthermore, authentic HGH therapy is only given via subcutaneous injections of one of the eight brands of HGH we have discussed. HGH therapy for qualifying adults is not given in any form other than an injection.
You can buy HGH online legally but only from legitimate sellers of HGH like Nexel Medical. Still, in order to purchase HGH from our products pages, you must first obtain a diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency. One of our healthcare advisors would be happy to walk you though the process of having your blood tested and how to obtain a legal prescription to buy HGH in the US.
COST OF HGH INJECTIONS
The cost of HGH injections will vary from patient to patient depending on several different factors. Some of the brands of HGH will be a higher price than others based on the manufacturer’s cost for producing them.
Some medications come in both pens and vial and syringes for delivery. The cost of the medication will change depending upon which self-administration method is used. The amount of medication within the vials or pens will vary as well. This will also change the cost of the medication.
The manufacturer of a given brand of HGH may offer coupons or member card programs to help you save money on prescriptions.
HGH injections are used to replace missing growth hormone in the body that depletes with the natural process of aging. As the body grows older, all internal organs and glands innately slow down. This includes the pituitary gland, which is responsible for creating and releasing growth hormones into the system. When there is not enough HGH in the body, unpleasant symptoms can begin to occur.
Many people get legal prescriptions for their GH deficiencies and find that the medications help them to feel more energetic, alive, youthful, and younger-looking. The HGH injections can help with:
Side effects from the eight brands and generic human growth hormone injections are rare when a person uses the medications with a prescription and medical supervision. However, as with any medication, side effects can occur.
Wrong dosage of HGH or tainted medication can cause problems if a person is not being monitored and does not buy HGH from a reputable clinic. Issues can occur, such as:

Summary
Human growth hormone injections will start to work at different times for different people. Not all patients will have the same experience, but generalizations can be made as to when changes in the mind and body will take place.
Below is a month-by-month guideline of approximately when human growth hormones will begin to work within a six-month period of time:
During the first month of HGH treatment, a patient should start to feel more energized. This will change his or her whole personality and outlook on life. Lethargy will begin to diminish, and the person will be willing and able to participate in more activities. Sleep will become easier and last for a longer amount of time.
Body metabolism quickens, and weight loss begins. People will mostly notice the fat coming off of their abdominal sections. At the same time, muscles will become larger and more pronounced.
Skin elasticity becomes stronger. There is less appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. Hair grows in thicker and nails grow faster. Self-esteem usually increases due to looking more youthful. Energy and stamina continue to increase.
Memory, focus and concentration become noticeably more acute. Sexual drive starts to increase. Energy continues to improve.
There will be an ongoing increase in energy, stamina, endurance and drive. Emotions become more stable with less depression, anxiety, irritability and agitation. Appearance continues to become more youthful looking and weight loss becomes more noticeable.
By month six, most of the symptoms derived from a growth hormone deficiency should be diminished or eliminated. Fat loss is apparent, and muscle tone is improved. LDL cholesterol levels have improved, organs have grown, and mental capacity and emotions have become much more stabilized.
During the sixth month period from when a person first begins to take his or her prescribed human growth hormone injections he or she will feel continuously better each month. With continuing medical supervision, any side effects can be eliminated immediately and quality of life will continue improving.
Below are some key pieces of information to keep in mind while taking HGH injections:
