The HGH bodybuilding side effects are primarily based on which type of product you use. Injection (shot) based human growth hormone has a lot of side effects. The primary side effect of this synthetic hormone is that, because it is not a hormone created by your body, you significantly increase the likelihood that you will accidentally tell your body (through regular use of the fake hormone) that it no longer needs to produce HGH itself.

But there are problems with using human growth hormone in bodybuilding that athletes should be aware of. Human growth hormone injections raise the HGH level in the blood above normal level for an extended period of time. Though the idea is to bring levels back up to where they were in youth, it may be a bad idea because the hormone does have effects on the body beyond increasing muscle and preventing fat storage. Long term users of human growth hormone in bodybuilding run the risk of unpleasant side effects such as high levels of fat in the blood, thyroid problems, heart disease, depression, diabetes, and other things. Though minor damage can be reversed by discontinuing the hormone treatment, some physical changes are permanent.

On the other side, there are no HGH bodybuilding side effects if you use a natural human growth hormone booster. These boosters use a variety of different amino acids that your body thinks are messengers telling it to increase production of the hormone. Because of that system, the hormone is not synthetic – it is your hormone. And since the amino acids are extracted from food, they are not considered fake either. You can then increase your human growth hormone levels without having to risk the way your body works regularly, and you can avoid any HGH bodybuilding side effects because you are essentially cutting out the risk of negative consequences.
