In Part I of ‘The Benefits of Male HGH Therapy in Orange County‘, we discussed the facts of andropause and the reasons why a man might want to have an injection of human growth hormone. Below, we discuss a few potential situations in which a man might want to avoid such an injection along with several things you can do to improve the effect of an HGH shot.

HGH isn’t a cure-all, and it’s not healthy for everyone to take. HGH causes cell growth, and because of that, anyone with a cancerous tumor will want to avoid the hormone as much as possible. Also, HGH shots can have unpredictable effects on the mood and physical stability of someone with diabetes — they should avoid the shot as well.

Even for people who are healthy and can benefit from HGH, there’s a certain level of activity that is required for someone to achieve maximum benefit from the hormone therapy. Orange County doctors disagree on the exact effect of the shot — some say it will inspire an increase in physical activity, others believe you must be physically active in order to get the shot to ‘work right’.

Regardless of which group is correct, there’s a distinct relationship between your level of physical activity and the benefits of your HGH shot. Even if you weren’t active before your shot, you should do your best to become active the day you get the injection and stay active thereafter. That’s because HGH encourages your body to shed fat, but if you insist on sitting around, your body will shed it into your bloodstream and then put it right back on your stomach a few hours later.

Similarly, eating right is very important to getting the most out of your HGH shot. Human growth hormone causes a lot of hormonal activity in your body, which requires a staggering variety of nutrients to create and utilize. Eating crappy food with low nutrient density and then taking HGH is like asking a chef to cook a meal with a spork and a Zippo.

It’s just like your doctor is already telling you — if you want to be healthy, eat right and get exercise. HGH makes it all much easier, but it won’t magically turn you from Danny Devito into Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Yet. We’re still learning, after all.
