What Are the Side Effects of HGH Injections?

Home » Knowledge Center » Hormone Therapy » What Are the Side Effects of HGH Injections?

Most people who undergo injectable human growth hormone (HGH) therapy report no side effects. A low number of people can experience some adverse reactions, like temporary discomfort or redness at the injection site. Most adverse reactions to HGH injections are short-term and minor.

According to Mayo Clinic, other side effects of HGH injections may include:

  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Weight gain
  • Tingling and numbness
  • Swelling

Some medical conditions can make a person a poor candidate for HGH injections.

Prior to us developing an individualized HGH treatment plan for you, it is a necessity that you tell us about your medical conditions. We will evaluate your conditions and prepare a suitable treatment for you.

We only use bioidentical HGH in our therapy regimens. Bioidentical hormones are available through FDA-regulated medications that require a prescription. Our certified HGH physicians manage the growth hormone therapy.

HGH Injections Are FDA-Approved

In the United States, you can only get HGH legally through a prescription from a doctor. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only approves growth hormone in the injectable form. The FDA awarded HGH injections with an FDA approval stamp, which means it is safe for the treatment of various medical conditions in both children and adults.

The pituitary makes human growth hormone. Sometimes the pituitary does not make as much human growth hormone as the body needs. Some children have inborn issues related to a lack of sufficient HGH, so they need to undergo human growth hormone therapy with injections. Without enough HGH, the body cannot grow from the size of a child to an adult.

Our need for growth hormone does not end when we reach adult height and size. Many people experience a drop in their HGH levels after the age of forty. Our cells and internal organs need HGH to function correctly. A person with low levels of HGH can develop significant health issues like heart disease, obesity, and other problems.

Do Not Fall for Fake HGH

Many online sellers offer products without a prescription and at a much lower price than authentic human growth hormone. Products that contain HGH are illegal to sell in the United States without a prescription. Because they are illegal to sell, products that purport to contain human growth hormones (without a prescription) likely do not contain the ingredient. They might contain dangerous substances instead of legitimate HGH.

Since the FDA says that the only effective form of HGH is the injectable type, pills, powders, and sprays do not have FDA approval. These products are unlikely to give the results that you want and they might harm you.

Some people sell supplements that supposedly help your body make more of its own growth hormone. There is no research to back up the claims of these products.

The only safe and effective HGH is by injection with a doctor’s prescription. We recommend only taking HGH therapy that is prescribed via a physician or given as a prescription in order to protect your health.

How HGH Injections Can Improve Quality of Life

As our pituitary glands begin to make less HGH during our 40s and 50s, our bodies start to show symptoms of aging. HGH injections can slow and sometimes reverse these signs of aging. Growth hormone therapy might help if you are:

  • No longer able to control your weight through diet and exercise
  • Feeling exhausted or depressed
  • Seeing less benefit from your workouts at the gym
  • Having lower libido and struggling to perform in the bedroom
  • Not sleeping well and feeling tired and mentally “foggy” the next day
  • Seeing changes in your skin, like dull skin tone and sagging skin

These are a few examples of the ways that inadequate HGH levels can make you feel fatigued and appear older. Growth hormone therapy might help you to feel young, healthy, and energetic again.
