Human Growth Hormone (HGH) supplementation has been shown to produce health benefits such as increased muscle mass, increased bone density and fat loss. However, HGH carries with it a number of health risks.
Side effects
The Mayo Clinic reports that HGH supplementation can result in undesirable side effects, including limb swelling, joint pain, muscle pain, and enlargement of breast tissue (gynecomastia) in males.
Diabetes
The website healthguidance.org calls into question the ability of HGH supplementation to control diabetes. Due to the recent introduction of growth hormone supplementation, it is scientifically unclear if the process is beneficial or even safe. The website recommends that people with diabetes avoid HGH supplementation until more about it is known.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has been reported as a side effect suffered by users of HGH supplementation.
High Blood Pressure
The website antiaginginfo.net reports high blood pressure and increased stress on the circulatory system by those who use HGH supplementation.
Dosage
The risk of all negative side effects of HGH supplementation are magnified by over dosage of HGH supplementation. Much scientific research exists supporting controlled and supervised dosage.
