People choose to take HGH supplements for a few different reasons. They may be interested in the anti-aging properties of HGH. Or they may seek to increase performance and strength to do better in sports. Whatever the reason, anyone taking HGH should be aware of the side effects.

The good news is that the side effects of HGH are actually minimal and mostly reversible. The bad news is that of course there are HGH side effects. These side effects include:

• Joint pain and swelling. The most common complaint among people taking HGH is a problem with the joints. Most people say this side effect is worth the benefits of taking HGH supplements.
• Diabetes symptoms. It used to be believed that HGH caused diabetes. However, it appears instead that it causes symptoms that mimic diabetes. These symptoms appear to be reversible.
• Excessive hair growth. One drawback of HGH is that you may grow more body hair than you’re used to.
• Excessive bone and tissue growth. This is the most serious side effect of taking HGH. It can cause problems with your bones and change your facial features. This can be combated by taking low doses of HGH for short periods of time.

All in all these are side effects that are similar to that of other medications.
