Side Effects of HGH Injections

Posted: Jul 30, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 812 |

HGH or human growth hormone is known as somatotropin in medical terminology and it is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. HGH is a complex molecule that is composed of 191 amino acids.

The main function of this hormone is to enable the liver to produce Insulin Growth Factor IGF1 which triggers tissue and bone growth throughout the body. The production of HGH begins plummeting after the age of 30 and this is the main cause of aging.

HGH has been a topic of extensive research and study for the past couple of decades and it is now known that restoring HGH levels can help combat and fight age effects to a large extent.

Initially HGH was extracted form the dead cadavers post mortem but HGH molecule was synthetically created in a lab in the 1980's. HGH injections can produce very fast effects but they can have some serious side effects.

Side effects of HGH injections include:

  • acromegaly- it refers to the abnormal growth of hands and feet and can even result in premature death
  • carpel tunnel syndrome
  • pain in joints
  • development of male breasts
  • liver damage
  • pituitary shut down etc.,

Besides, HGH augmentation has long been reserved for the super rich since these injections can make you spend well over $15000 a year.

But things have changed and you can now enhance your HGH production with the help of HGH supplements.

These supplements do not contain HGH but are a blend of amino acids that make your body produce more of its own HGH by stimulating the pituitary gland. There are no side effects of HGH supplements.

Yet it is important to go for a supplement that is clinciallyt approved and endorsed by doctors as well. Moreover, it should be manufactured in a cGMP certified lab.
