The human growth hormone’s side effects still is very unclear and people who have taken it have got back with side effects. In different people the HGH causes different side effects and it is very difficult to come up with a standard list. However the homeopathic form of the HGH or the HGH releasers has not shown any side effects the HGH releaser and the synthetic HGH injections have shown some side effects in people who have taken it. The side effects can be divided into two categories, one is the side effects caused by the human growth Hormone releasers and the other is the side effects caused by the Human growth Hormone replacement drug. Both have different side effects as the approach for treatment of both he drugs is very different.
The Human growth hormone replacement and its side effects
The human growth hormone replacement is done through synthetic injections through which means that a HGH is injected into your body through the injection. The side effects of this form of introduction of the hormone are:
Degeneration of the pituitary gland:The main function of the pituitary gland is to produce different combinations of the amino acids which aid in the growth of the human body and many other functions related to many organs within the body. The human growth hormone is the majority of the amino acids produced in the pituitary gland. When the HGH hormone itself is introduced into the body the pituitary gland assumes that it does not have to produce the hormone and it may stop the HGH production. This way the pituitary gland can degenerate making the person even more dependants on the synthetic injections.
There is a variation to this syndrome as well, a person with genuine deficiency may not have to face this situation because the pituitary gland is already not functioning well and not producing enough HGH in the body due to which the patient is experiencing the problems. By introducing HGH through injections the patient may only be benefiting. Whereas if people with regular health take the HGH injection, and in their body the pituitary gland is functioning normally and yet there is more HGH being introduced into their body. This may cause the body to have an overdose of the hormone and the pituitary gland seizes to function because of the hormone levels in the body.
Fluid retention is observed in many people after having HGH in this method.
Some people even developed the carpal tunnel syndrome after taking HGH injections.
People also developed arthritis.
HGH side effects in Human growth hormone supplements
In this method the supplements make the pituitary gland release more HGH into the body than the usual amount. The side effects noticed in this are:
Fluid retention
Headaches
Nausea
The body is making more HGH than needed sop the excess amount of HGH may cause the body to react abnormally. The body cannot handle more HGH than it needs while the results of both the methods in the end are same.
