I started working out about 3 months ago after healing from a horrible motorcycle accident in which I almost didn’t make it. Everyday is a battle. I need every extra gain I can get to be better than I was before and the Humatrope are gonna do that.
Update… I’ve been taking these for a little more than a month now and I can really feel the improvements. Every weighed I’ve been lifting has gone up, I’ve lost about 10 more LBS, and I am not nearly as sore after my workouts as before I started taking this. It is definitely making a difference.

In the short time that I have been taking the Humatropin , I can feel a boost in energy and my muscles seem to recover quicker even after super intense workouts. Another plus is they don’t upset an empty stomach when taken.
