Hello

Here are the listed contraindications from the Physician's Desk reference for medications:

Supplemental human growth hormone is contraindicated in those with any evidence of active malignancy. It is also contraindicated in those who are hypersensitive to any component of an HGH-containing product.

PRECAUTIONS

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid the use of HGH-containing supplements.

Adolescents should avoid the use of supplemental HGH.

Those with diabetes should avoid the use of supplemental HGH.

Oral forms of HGH are not meant to be used parenterally and should never be used in such a manner.

I hope this helps, you may also want to consult his doctor for the final okay to take it.
