Is HGH Safe for Bodybuilding? HGH Risks
The excessive use of HGH can lead to the following Side Effects:
- Diabetes. Growth hormone increases the level of blood sugar, which makes the pancreas produce more insulin to decrease this level. With time, if you take huge doses of HGH without exogenous insulin or are genetically inclined to diabetes, you can get this disease. So, before taking HGH, pass the blood sugar test or the glucose tolerance test to find out if you have problems with the pancreas.
- Cancer development. Growth hormone, just like steroids, can accelerate development of a tumor if it already exists. However, HGH can’t cause a new one.
- Suppression of the thyroid gland. While this side effect is less dangerous than the risk of diabetes, the thyroid gland can be suppressed if you take HGH for a long time.
Growth hormone can be used for several purposes, such as to lose fat, gain muscles, become younger, or grow taller.

For 6 month of use, the appearance changes greatly as the skin becomes elastic, wrinkles disappear, nails and hair improve as well. A person looks 10 years younger.
Is HGH safe for libido?
The myth that growth hormone affects libido is connected with another myth that HGH is a steroid. I have prepared an article about HGH and steroids in this regard. They are completely different in the structure, origin, and functions.
Growth hormone doesn’t suppress your own testosterone, so it is completely safe for libido.
HGH and hair loss
HGH isn’t connected with testosterone, so it can’t induce hair loss. Conversely, HGH improves the state of hair because it accelerates the synthesis of collagen.
Can I take HGH?
You can take growth hormone if you don’t have the following problems:
- Don’t use HGH if you have the high level of blood sugar and don’t use it if you have relatives with diabetes.
