Human Growth Hormone usage has been subjected to extensive research and the findings are incredible. The findings have been embraced by the public, leading to publication in influential journals like the New England Journal of Medicine.

Some of the beneficial effects reported in these studies include an eight percent increase in muscle mass, weight loss with no exercise, and a mean 4.4% loss of fat.. Also reported was a loss of cellulite, wrinkle reduction, more elastic skin, increased memory, clearer vision, improved sleep, lowered blood pressure, better cholesterol readings, better heart function and many other health benefits.
 
In the pursuit of products that furnish even one of these benefits the drug industry has expended vast quantities of money and utilized major human effort. Knowing that there is a pharmaceutical available that combines all of these great benefits into one amazing substance, you will want to learn what can go wrong.

Whenever your body is introduced to a large amount of any hormone there will be a danger of side effects. HGH taken in excess can therefore produce some very dangerous side effects. Genetics vary greatly from person to person and affect how each person reacts to the same hormone dosages substantially.

The greatest HGH side effects have been observed in body builders and athletes who have in all likelihood taken abusively high doses over long periods of time. Unnaturally large bone development 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 hormone. Strictly following the dosage prescribed by your doctor and by limiting the time the hormone is used can greatly decrease the negative HGH side effects. The risk of reactions can be reduced by injecting a lower dosage.

In some of the initial studies there have been a few documented cases of patients who suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome, and a condition of enlarged breasts called gynecomastia. Other side effects that have been documented 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 large dosages of the synthetic forms of HGH in the blood.There is a major risk that the body will produce a smaller quantity of natural human growth hormone. In some cases the pituitary gland could entirely cease releasing any hgh.

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.
