Abstract
A recent advertisement in a popular magazine touted human growth hormone (HGH) for alleged anti-aging properties. In that regard, the advertisement contends that increasing the level of HGH secretion acts to blunt the aging process. This viewpoint is apparently formulated on the basis of the “natural decline of human growth hormone from ages 21 to 61” (the average age at which there is only a trace left in the body). Therefore, the decline in HGH is purported to be the main reason why aging occurs and according to this advertisement “fails to regenerate to its 25 year-old biological age”.
