Severe health complications following HGH abuseThe abuse of human growth hormone can lead to serious health complications, a fact that was highlighted by Dr. Alan Rogol, testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives Government Reform Committee on behalf of The Endocrine Society while outlining the legal medical use of human growth hormone (HGH) and possible complications regarding its abuse.

It is worthwhile to note that the off-label usage of human growth hormone (HGH) has been linked with severe health complications in the recent past. The same was affirmed by Dr. Alan Rogol who highlighted that abuse of HGH can lead to consequences such as muscle weakness and heart disease.

From News-Medical.Net:

“Magazines and the internet are replete with advertisements for substances marketed as ‘growth hormone’,” said Dr. Rogol. “Growth hormone, however, can only work if injected, and many of these preparations are taken orally, so they cannot possibly be HGH.”

These compounds falsely sold as HGH may contain other unlisted ingredients, including anabolic steroid hormones or steroid precursors, which have been found to promote the growth of tumors. These unlisted ingredients can also appear in unknown quantities, while the entire preparation is of unknown purity.

In addition, the vast majority of clinically administered growth hormone is made by recombinant DNA techniques and not from human tissue. “Growth hormone made from human tissue has largely been removed from the market because of the rare but fatal Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,” said Dr. Rogol. “Some of the HGH now available clandestinely is of human origin and may carry this deadly biological agent.”

It was further remarked by Dr. Rogol that HGH use has to made only in strict accordance with qualified medical advice and not otherwise.
