HgH Side Effects & Abuse

HgH Side Effects::Too much of anything can be a bad thing, this also applies to the human growth hormone.
The use or abuse of Prescription GH (injection) may lead to unwanted HgH side effects. The use of Homeopathic GH and most GH Releasers have not shown evidence of side effects although for growth hormone Precursors and Releasers some cautionary remarks can be made.

There is a difference between replacing GH and supplementing GH.

HGH Side Effects::Human Growth Hormone Replacement

HgH replacement is typically done with prescription GH (injection) and this means that recombinant human growth hormone is injected into your body. Side effects observed with this method are:

• Atrophy of the pituitary gland. Due to injection of GH the pituitary gland may conclude that it does not have to produce human growth hormone and may shut down.
• When supranatural levels (IGF-1 above 500ng/ml) of human growth hormone are reached and maintained over several months Acromegaly, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis and Edema may develop.

These HgH side effects seem serious but to be fair mainly occur when abusing GH. The current prescription growth hormone therapies use low dosages with increased frequency which lead to significantly less or no permanent HgH side effects when used according to the instructions and with proper monitoring.

Another thing to consider is that if your pituitary gland does not produce any or too little human growth hormone, prescription HgH is currently your only option.

HgH Side Effects::Human Growth Hormone Supplementation

HgH supplementation is typically done by stimulating the pituitary gland to release more of the human growth hormone it already produces (homeopathic GH and GH releasers) or by stimulating the liver to produce more growth factors.

growth hormone precursors and GH releasers based on amino acids are not suitable for diabetics and borderline diabetics, persons who have not completed their bone growth (children and teenagers), pregnant or lactating women, and cancer patients.

Homeopathic GH, precursors and GH releasers will not cause the pituitary gland to shut down, as no “foreign” HgH is introduced into your body. On the other hand growth hormone supplementation will not help you if your pituitary gland does not produce any or too little human growth hormone for what ever reason.
