HGH for sagging skin, thinning and wrinkled skin along with estrogen?

I'm 41-years-old and have been suffering from sagging skin in arms, legs, face and neck despite being very athletic and watching what I eat.  The past 16 days, I've really been taking in more water as I thought it could be dehydration (2 liters minimum per day).  However, I haven't seen any benefits of such and am still fatigued.  I had a hysterectomy at 27 due to endometriosis and have been on HRT since then to keep menopausal  sx controlled.  Would I benefit from taking an HGH releaser such as Genf20 Plus?  I'm thinking it's my pituitary gland that is messed up.  If I elected to take an HGH such as Genf20 Plus as per the directed dosage for a limited amount of time say 6 months, what would be the likelihood, on the average, that I would experience negative side effects?  Would you suggest taking or continuing to take my estrogen (Estropipate) in conjunction with the HGH releaser or is the HGH releaser supposed to be a substitute for estrogen?

Further. I don't mean to suggest that BioSil offers you the fountain of youth, but it certainly helps increase your body's health and beauty.

I would take BioSil which is a bioavailable form of silicon. My daughter returned from several years in Iraq with her skin in very bad condition, so bad it made her older than she was. We gave her BioSil and the improvement was fast and visible. Most of our family takes this supplement. It is good for skin, hair, nails, bones and sinew. I am 80 and have no osteoporosis. I attribute this to BioSil. This supplement cured me of varicose veins and got rid of the few liver spots that I had, as well as other skin imperfections. (Note: you have to buy this brand.)

Actually, I don't know if HGH would help or not.  Just that this supplement wouldn't.  There are different ways to take HGH -- homeopathic, the amino acids that make it, but the real way is to just take HGH, but you'll never get it legally given you don't have the problems it legally treats.  If you want to try the homeopathic form, it's expensive, some people think it works, some don't.  I had customers who liked it and those who didn't.  But whether it will do anything for your particular problem, I have my doubts.  Good luck.

Thank you for your response and help!  Well, it does sound like HGH isn't the way to go for skin repair and premature aging... .  Thanks, again :)

I wouldn't take this product personally, as I wouldn't trust any direct marketed supplement.  But let's assume I would trust this product.  If you're on estrogen, this will throw you off completely, as the substances used, such as arginine, deer antler, and tribulus are all used to increase testosterone.  The GABA in it doesn't pass the blood-brain barrier.  It mixes substances that should be taken with meals with amino acids that should be taken apart from meals.  So even assuming it works to increase HGH, which I have no idea if it would or wouldn't, your body would decide that by deciding whether it needed to do that or not, it has many other properties that don't match what you seem to need now because of your hysterectomy.  There are things you can probably do, but at the point you're at, this supplement probably isn't it.  Even if I trusted the company, which I don't.  If it were me, which it isn't, I'd see a personal trainer and put my money there on putting your exercise specifically where your problem areas are.  And as for diet, since you're going for more muscle and less fat, I'd probably eat more protein and fewer carbs, though I would never skimp on vegetables.  But a holistic nutritionist would be better at this than I would be.  Good luck.
