lulz, you serious ? Stallone got caught with HGH a couple years ago. And for you medical tests, I could show you 1000`s of bodybuilder who take HGH , who look superior to anyone in there age bracket.
You still don't see it. In both cases you mentioned (Stallone and 1000 bodybuilders) it is not clear whether it was HGH which made difference in how they look for their age, or it was other factors. It also completely ignores those who were on HGH and did not get the results they wanted, or got sick and died because of that - as those people would very unlikely join elitefitness to tell their story.
This is why control group is important - because you get a group of similar people who follow the same routine. Half of them take HGH, and another half takes placebo. None of them knows who takes HGH or placebo. Then the results are compared, and if the HGH group showed results which are statistically significant, and did not have major issues, then the study would say that HGH showed the improvement and can be recommended. Unfortunately it was not the case.

And you comparing Buffet to a bodybuilder, Get the fuck out. HGH isnt a magic pill, you actually have to lift some weights .
Are you sure you're still talking about anti-aging and not building muscles? Remember, this was the original point we discussed (looking 40 while being over 60). Maybe just spending 8 hours a day in a spa under supervision of personal trainers, strictly controlling your food intake and sleep is all what really matters? Or maybe it is just genetics? I personally know quite a few 40yo which can easily pretend to be 25yo, and I'm pretty sure they do not take HGH - none of them even goes to gym.

Stallone was officially charged with illegally importing performance and image enhancing drugs in a Sydney courtroom. The 60-year-old action star was caught at Sydney Airport with several vials of a steroid known as hGH (human growth hormone) during a random baggage check.
I don't even know what to say. See, I linked a
medical study which was done by Stanford University - a well-respected medical research body. The study says that "GH cannot be recommended as an antiaging therapy". You so far posted a few hearsays, some testimonials and quite irrelevant news article. Do you have any
study which would show positive effect of HGH on anti-aging?
