There is a brand new field of medecine which is now booming, particularly in the USA, called age management medecine or anti-aging treatments. A recent investigation by the TV show 60 minutes produced some damning findings of this industry, along with actual proven benefits of the treatment. This supplement seen on 60 minutes for anti aging is certain to be debated in the media for some time to come. Basically the anti aging treatments involve the use of hormones such as testosterone, DHEA, and the human growth hormone to offset the natural decline in production of these hormones as we age. Supplementing these hormones can help build muscle mass, reduce body fat, and even strengthen bones against osteoporosis - howver there may be risks with lomg term use of these hormones and in many states the usage could be illegal. 60 minutes talked to some proponents of these anti aging treatments who regularly inject themselves, all reported increased energy and zest for life with most reporting positive effects on sex drive and body composition also. The anti aging market is now reported to be worth $50 billion per year and is set to increase. The concern is that doctors are effectively peddling human growth hormone and other drugs which are illegal when prescribed as an anti aging supplement, however they manage to get around this by prescribing the drugs for "hormone deficiency". While the effects of such anti aging treatments are certainly positive in the short term the long term usage could be problematic, there are real fears that growth hormones prescribed to a patient with a latent or early stage undiagnosed cancer, could in effect be getting a powerful growth agent which will speed up the spread of the disease - like throwing fuel onto a fire!
