Young and firm skin. Thick, healthy hair. Strong, well-shaped muscles, full of energy. Aren’t these the most precious things you have to wave goodbye to when you are no longer young?
Every aging adult will admit they are, and everyone wishes there could be a way to turn back time and be young again. Or is there? Lately, hormone replacement therapy has become a hope for those looking to bring back their youthful look and all the energy they used to have decades ago.
How Can Hormone Replacement Therapy Cope with Aging?
Human growth hormone, or HGH, is what makes your tissues and cells grow when you are a child and a teenager, and when you no longer are, your body starts producing less of the hormone. This is why cells aren’t regenerating that fast anymore and metabolism starts slowing down - which means wrinkles, fragile bones, and extra weight.
Based on the idea of HGH deficiency being responsible for aging, doctors assumed that compensating for the lack of HGH can have the desired effect. Many patients say it does, and that’s why the popularity of HGH injections has skyrocketed within the last decade. However, in your chase after youth, you have to remember that hormone replacement therapy is no joke and can have serious consequences, if abused.
Most Commonly Experienced HGH Side Effects
Human growth hormone is an ‘influencer’ in a human body body, so if you are not careful enough, you put yourself at risk of getting unexpected negative effects. So, before you type “HGH for sale” into the search field, make sure you know everything about potential HGH side effects, which are:
• acromegaly (in excessive doses, HGH causes tissues to grow excessively, so hair, bone, or organ tissue can reach abnormal size);
• tunnel syndrome (HGH abuse can cause pain, tingling sensation, or numbness in your limbs);
• an increase in or a drop of insulin level (there is a complex connection between insulin and HGH, and while the hormone can help with some cases of diabetes, it can also present a risk in other cases);
• high blood pressure;
• irritation or swelling in the injection spot because of individual allergic reactions.
How to Avoid HGH Side Effects?
Hormone replacement therapy is not a universal panacea, like any other serious kind of treatment. Before you start an HGH injections course, you should consult a doctor and have them confirm the therapy is safe for you. You need to do this in any case, since HGH is a controlled drug and requires a prescription. Once you have started your therapy, it is obligatory to stick to the dosage your prescription states and see your physician regularly to make sure the therapy goes as planned. If you notice any of the abovementioned HGH side effects or any other alarming symptoms, be sure to let your doctor know about them immediately.
HGH injections have helped numerous people increase their energy and improve their physical condition. They can help you, too - as long as you stay on the safe side.
