HGH Side Effects in Women from SINO HGH

The human growth hormone, HGH, is produced naturally in the pituitary gland of the brain. HGH is a protein-like substance that is responsible for bone development in women and men, from birth to adulthood. Children and adults who lack the adequate amount of HGH are at risk of developing disorders associated with their growth, so taking a man-made version of HGH can improve hormone deficiencies. However, there are certain risks associated with taking HGH.

The FDA

• HGH has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration to treat specific conditions, such as hormone deficiency where the bones are not developing correctly (for example, short stature in kids, men and women). HGH has also been approved to be used in the treatment of adult short bowel syndrome and HIV and AIDS patients.

Harmful Side Effects

• HGH can cause women to have high glucose and cholesterol levels, swelling in the arms and legs, joint and muscle pain, and weakening of the muscles. HGH can also increase women's risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Beneficial Side Effects

• HGH has been rumored to reverse the signs of aging. A few of the side effects that women have found beneficial are: fat reduction, wrinkle reduction, thickening of the skin and an increase in energy levels. However, according to Dr. Neal Reisman, a lawyer and the interim chief of plastic surgery at St. Lukes, using HGH for anything other than treating a disease or a recognized medical condition is illegal. The FDA has not approved the human growth hormone for the use of anti-aging.

Considerations

• When you receive an HGH injection, you are essentially undergoing hormone replacement therapy. The procedure is perfectly legal if you have a legitimate hormone deficiency and you can prove it. However, being injected with too much HGH may cause you to suffer certain side effects like the following: hypoglycemia, acromegaly, edema and carpal tunnel syndrome. If a woman uses HGH for bodybuilding, which is illegal, she is at risk of developing an extended belly.

Somatropin

• Somatropin is a man-made version of HGH. Before taking any synthetic version of HGH, you should inform your health care provider of any pre-existing conditions you may have, (such as allergies, breathing issues, surgeries or cancers). In order to decrease your chances of having an adverse reaction to the synthetic version of HGH, you should update your doctor on all of the medications that you currently take.
