Pros And Cons Of Human Growth Hormone Injections

Weighing The Pros and Cons of Growth Hormone Injections

  • The many “pros” of growth hormone therapy far outweigh any potential “cons.”
  • Both men and women can experience increased energy and more effective weight loss from growth hormone injections. Both men and women taking HGH injections also receive the benefit of a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • The best way to make sure that you get more pros than cons from your growth hormone injections, is by having your prescription specifically tailored to your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle.
Weighing The Pros and Cons of Growth Hormone Injections

Any ethical medical practitioner will tell you that when it comes to making a decision as important as whether or not to take growth hormone injections, you must take a look at all of the “pros and cons.” This is common sense when considering any kind of surgery or medical procedure, and not just weighing the risks versus the benefits of human growth hormone (HGH) injections.

Before we discuss the relative pros vs cons of growth hormone injections for men and women, let’s take a moment to learn a little about human growth hormone, and why it is so vitally important to your health and fitness. HGH is primarily responsible for all the processes related to cellular growth and metabolism. As such, it is HGH that triggers the many biological transitions that take place as we grow from children into adults. As you might imagine, that means when we are young our HGH levels are very high. Have you ever watched children running around a playground, and said to yourself, “why can’t someone find a way to bottle some of that energy?” Someone has, and they have made it available as human growth hormone injections!

HGH levels are at their peak when we are young, and then start a steady decline in our late 20s, and early 30s. That decline accounts for most if not all of the troubling symptoms we think of as growing old, such as:

  • Tiredness and fatigue
  • Mood swings, irritability and cognitive issues
  • A lack of strength and vitality
  • Decline in the ability to build muscle
  • Weight gain
  • Weakened bones
  • Sexual wellness issues

Growth hormone injections are a clinically proven, safe and effective way to return your growth hormone levels to what they were when they were at their highest, and you looked and felt your best.

HGH is primarily responsible for all the processes related to cellular growth and metabolism. HGH levels are at their peak when we are young, and then start a steady decline in our late 20s, and early 30s.

What Are the Pros of Growth Hormone Injections For Men?

There are so many well documented benefits or “pros,” of growth hormone replacement injections for men. The positive effects of growth hormone injections include:

  • Loss of belly fat
  • Increased energy and vitality
  • Increased ability to build lean muscle
  • Improved libido and sexual performance
  • Improved cognition and memory
  • Improved sleep

Growth hormone injections are a clinically proven, safe and effective way to return your growth hormone levels to what they were when they were at their highest, and you looked and felt your best.

What Are the Pros of Growth Hormone Injections for Women?

Women share many of the same pros of growth hormone injections as their male counter parts. Both men and women can experience increased energy and more effective weight loss from growth hormone injections. Both men and women taking HGH injections also receive the benefit of a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Some pros of growth hormone injections specifically for women may include:

  • Improved mood and a reduction of other menopausal symptoms
  • Decreased vaginal dryness and improved libido
  • Healthier skin and reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
  • Stronger, healthier hair

How Do I Get the Most Positive Results From Growth Hormone Injections?

We help to make sure that you get more pros than cons from your growth hormone injections, by specifically tailoring your HGH replacement therapy to your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle.

We also ensure that your experience with growth hormone remains mostly positive by using only well-known name brands of prescription growth hormone, from licensed US based pharmaceutical companies such as:

  • Humatrope by Eli Lilly
  • Genotropin by Pfizer
  • Norditropin by Novo Nordisk
  • Saizen by EMD Serono
  • Omnitrope by Sandoz

Are There Any Cons to Growth Hormone Injections?

It would be wonderful if we could say there were absolutely no cons to growth hormone injections. Like any medical procedure, HGH injection therapy has both pros and cons, but we are confident, that for most patients, the pros will outweigh the cons of growth hormone injections. When weighing the pros vs the cons of HGH replacement, the two main cons that most people want to take into account are cost and possible side effects. Let’s look at each.

A prescription for growth hormone injections could be expensive. A typical course of growth hormone therapy could be anywhere from $600 to $1500 or more per month. That may sound like a lot of money, but when you weigh the cost of growth hormone injections, against the cost to your health and quality of life of not having growth injections, usually you will see that the cost is justified by the results. Also, there are ways that you can work with your practitioner to try to keep the cost of your growth hormone injections as affordable as possible for you.

Are There Any Cons to Growth Hormone Injections?

As to side effects, like any drug or medical procedure, HGH does have some possible side effects. A lot of emphasis needs to be placed on that word “possible.” All drugs, even over-the-counter medications, can have possible side effects. HGH is approved for prescription therapy by the FDA. Once the FDA approves a drug that means it has determined that its use as indicated is “generally recognized as safe.” However, this is also why, any FDA approved drug must legally come with a laundry list claiming any and all possible side effects. The inserts you find in any medication, and the long disclaimers in any drug advertisement listing those side effects is mainly there to protect the pharmaceutical company from liability, and should not be taken as any kind of indication that you will experience such side effects.

Are There Any Cons toHGH Injections?

Like any approved drug, HGH is regarded as “generally safe,” by the FDA. However, like all drugs it must legally list any possible side effects. Some of the more general side effects that have been reported from growth hormone injections are:

  • Joint pain
  • Inflammation at the injection site 
  • Dizziness
  • Headache

Some of the less common side effects of HGH shots:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Increased insulin resistance
  • Swelling in the arms and legs (edema)
  • Joint and muscle pain
  • For men, enlargement of breast tissue (gynecomastia)
  • Dry skin and hair
  • Ear congestion or ear infections
  • Feeling cold
  • Fluid retentions, “bloating, and weight gain
  • Paresthesias (tingling sensation)
  • Numbness
  • Skeletal pain

Some of the infrequent or rare possible side effects of growth hormone injections include:

  • Chest pain
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Swelling of extremities
  • Cognitive difficulties
  • Unusual tiredness or weakness
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diabetes
  • Pancreatitis

This is by no means the entire list, and it is not meant to scare you. In reality most growth hormone replacement patients have a very positive experience and run the course of their growth hormone therapy with little or no side effects.

Some of the extreme cautions you should be aware of:

  • History or existence of a malignancy
  • Caution if diabetes
  • Caution if scoliosis
  • Caution in pregnancy (inadequate human data available at this time)
  • Caution if breastfeeding (inadequate human data available at this time)

Pros of HGH Vs Cons of HGH Injections

By now, we hope you have come to realize that the many pros of growth hormone therapy far outweigh any possible cons. As you can see the cost of growth hormone injections can be dealt with, and the risk of side effects are minimal. Weigh that against the pros of:

  • Increased strength
  • Increased stamina
  • More energy
  • Increased ability to burn fat and build muscle
  • Healthier skin and bones

Once you weigh all of the pros and the cons, the decision of whether to take growth injections or not, should be a pretty easy one to make.
