| Side Effects of HGH

What happens when one abuses HGH, Human Growth Hormone?
What are the side effects of HGH abuse?
Use of Human
Growth Hormone (HGH) under proper medical supervision for HGH
deficiency (adult onset growth hormone deficiency) is safe and
will have few side effects when used properly. The risk of side effects
increase when HGH
is abused that is taken in higher doses without any medical
supervision.
Typically the most common side effect of the excess use of HGH is acromegaly (excess growth hormone).
This is a medical condition that begins with the overgrowth of facial
bone and connective tissue, leading to a changed appearance due to
protruding jaw and enlarged eyebrow bones. This condition also leads to an
abnormal lengthening and growth of the hands and feet with an increased growth of hair
all over the body. Contrary to the alleged longevity properties of HGH increasing your life, this condition
of excessive HGH will shorten life expectancy considerably.
Mentioned here are just some of the known side effects of the undue use of HGH.
-- Acromegaly (as described in detail above)
-- Premature death (in case of acromegaly)
-- Heart enlargement (due to prolonged use of HGH. Can't be reversed)
-- Low blood sugar with risk of going into a diabetic coma
-- Excessive hair growth all over the body
-- Excessive water retention
-- Liver damage
-- Thyroid damage
Don't abuse or over use HGH.
