Ask
I say hello to the doctor. After reading this article, I have a few questions I want to ask the doctor and hope the doctor can help me. As far as I know HGH is produced from the pituitary gland and it helps to increase height.... And its activity from some drugs that stimulate the production of HGH. Role in cell proliferation and development and gene recombination. Will these definitions after I take the drug will cause harm like some diseases or increase cancer cells? Thank you.
