Growth hormone therapy has been subjected to extensive study and the reports are amazing. The findings have been embraced by the public, leading to publication in highly regarded journals like the New England Journal of Medicine.

Some of the beneficial effects listed in this research include an eight percent increase in lean muscle mass, weight loss without dieting, and an average four percent loss of fat.. Also reported was a loss of cellulite, wrinkle reduction, younger looking skin, improved brain function, improved vision, improved sleep, lowered blood pressure, better cholesterol profiles, increased cardiac function and many other health benefits.
 
Piles of investor capital and incredible human effort have been expended on different projects by large drug manufacturers seeking to find products that provide at least of these benefits. Now that you know that there is a drug available 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.

When you take large doses of any drug you can experience negative side effects. Taken in abusive amounts there can be some extremely alarming hgh side effects. A person’s individual genetics substantially impacts how they react to various dosages of growth hormone.

The greatest HGH side effects have been seen in body builders and athletes who have in all likelihood taken abusively large doses over extensive periods of time. Unnaturally large bone growth is one of the characteristics of cases such as these. Research shows to greater risk of cardiac irregularities, heart damage, and joint and facial deformities due to long term abuse.

Over use of the drug has been documented to be the cause of most side effects of hgh. Strictly following the dosage prescribed by your doctor and by limiting the time the hormone is used can greatly reduce the negative side effects of HGH. 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 high blood pressure, swollen joints and chronic joint pain, increased hair growth, and retention of internal fluids.

Stress to the liver and even liver damage can occur when it has to process huge amounts of the synthetic forms of HGH in the blood.There is a strong chance that the body will release a smaller quantity of natural human growth hormone. In some cases the pituitary gland might entirely stop 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.
