Hello!
I am really no medical guy or anything, but here are some resources I came across online about HGH that may hopefully help in whatever way...Based on some research gathered, I think that it may seem that there is some more research that needs to be done about HGH as an anti-aging agent. Here is a quote from a wikipedia article about HGH as an anti-aging agent:
"Claims for GH as an anti-aging treatment date back to 1990 when the New England Journal of Medicine published a study wherein GH was used to treat 12 men over 60. At the conclusion of the study, all the men showed statistically significant increases in lean body mass and bone mineral, while the control group did not. The authors of the study noted that these improvements were the opposite of the changes that would normally occur over a 10- to 20-year aging period. Despite the fact the authors at no time claimed that GH had reversed the aging process itself, their results were misinterpreted as indicating that GH is an effective anti-aging agent. This has led to organizations such as the controversial American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine promoting the use of this hormone as an "anti-aging agent".
A Stanford University School of Medicine survey of clinical studies on the subject published in early 2007 showed that the application of GH on healthy elderly patients increased muscle by about 2 kg and decreased body fat by the same amount. However, these were the only positive effects from taking GH. No other critical factors were affected, such as bone density, cholesterol levels, lipid measurements, maximal oxygen consumption, or any other factor that would indicate increased fitness. Researchers also did not discover any gain in muscle strength, which led them to believe that GH merely let the body store more water in the muscles rather than increase muscle growth. This would explain the increase in lean body mass."
Also, here are some article links that may be helpful as well. Dr. Michael Roizen answers questions about HGH on the Dr. Oz official website:

It really does seem that HGH injections are way expensive. In the above-mentioned articles, Dr. Michael Roizen seems to believe that there are more risks than benefits.
It's a person's choice, of course. One would really need to assess the pros and cons to arrive at the best decision.
Since HGH injections can be very expensive, I think that there are anti-aging tips and methods you can apply more readily in your daily lifestyle that would not necessarily break the bank.
There are other cheaper effective alternatives for anti-aging such as the anti-aging methods of traditional Chinese medicine, for example. Tea
is an anti-aging secret practiced for years in China. I do find tea very calming; not only that, it is rich in age-busting antioxidants. There are also herbs and spices that have healing properties. There are anti-aging vegetables and fruits you can include in your diet. You can change your diet, sleep a good (recommended) 8 hours, do a fun exercise...That will surely revitalize your body, mind - and spirit.
