Negative Hgh Side Effects Examined

HGH usage has been subjected to extensive scrutiny and the findings are amazing. The findings have excited the public, leading to publication in medical journals like the New England Journal of Medicine.

An eight percent increase in lean muscle mass, a mean 4.4% fat loss, and weight reduction without dieting were among the benefits found by these researchers. Also reported was a loss of cellulite, wrinkle reduction, younger looking skin, improved memory, improved vision, deeper sleep, decreased blood pressure, improved cholesterol profiles, better heart function and many other health benefits.
 
In the pursuit of drugs that provide even one of these benefits the pharmaceutical industry has invested huge sums of money and invested major human effort. Now that you know that there is a drug on the market that combines so many of these great benefits into one incredible substance, you will of course start to think about what the downside of this product could be.

There is a potential risk of negative side effects any time your body is introduced to a large amount of any kind of drug. When taken in an abusive manner the side effects of hgh can be quite alarming. A person’s individual genetics greatly impacts how they react to various dosages of growth hormone.

The most extreme HGH side effects have been seen in body builders and athletes who have in all likelihood taken extremely large dosages over extensive periods of time. Unnaturally large bone growth is one of the features of cases such as these. Time has shown there is a possibility of heart damage, irregular heart rhythms, and joint and facial deformities from prolonged usage.

Most recorded hgh side effects have been caused by over use of the drug. The side effects of HGH can be reduced by strictly following the dosage prescribed by your doctor and by limiting the time the hormone is used. The severity of reactions can be reduced by injecting a lower dosage.

In some of the initial studies there have been a few recorded cases of patients who suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome, and a condition of enlarged breasts called gynecomastia. Other side effects that have been recorded are hypertension, swollen joints and chronic joint pain, increased hair growth, and edema.

Stress to the liver and even liver damage can occur when it has to process big amounts of the synthetic forms of HGH in the blood.There is a major risk that the pituitary gland will produce a smaller quantity of natural growth hormone. This could even lead to a situation where the pituitary gland stop functioning.

An individual needs to look at the benefits and side effects to determine if HGH therapy is for them. Making informed decisions is important as well as weighing all the consequences and researching various options.
