HGH as most of us know it stands for Human Growth Hormone. If we listen to most of the advertisers out there they would have us to believe this is the new miracle supplement that will cure any ailment.

HGH used under careful medical supervision does have it's benefits and can be safely used especially when there is a deficiency. However when used inappropriately can also as with any good thing become dangerous.

Normally we do not think much about HGH side effects, but there is reason to have concerns in this area. One of the major HGH side effects is called acromegaly which stimulates the overgrowth of facial bone and connective tissues. This will cause a change in your appearance as your jaw and eyebrow bone will start to protrude.

HGH side effects such as acromegaly are so dangerous that it could lead to premature death. Other HGH side effects could deal with the heart, with prolonged use the heart could become irreversibly enlarged. These are just two of the major HGH side effects, but some of the others are excessive hair growth all over the body and water retention. You may also develop liver damage just to name a few. So as with anything drug, caution and proper use is a necessity.
