As consequence of widely promotion of growth hormone as an anti aging therapy made mostly through internet, this caught attention of the popular media ranging from the "Today Show" to "Business Week".

A pea-sized organ at the base of the brain is pituitary gland; this one produces growth hormone naturally. This production declines into old age being highest during childhood and adolescent years.
