How Safe Are Growth Hormone Injections?

HGH injections are a safe and effective way to treat growth hormone deficiencies.

Human growth hormone injections are approved by the FDA for the treatment of children and adults diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. When used as prescribed for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone injections are generally regarded as safe.

As long as you have been diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and have obtained your growth hormone injections legally, you can be sure that it is safe to take growth hormone.

HGH is safely prescribed for men, women, and seniors. HGH injections are safe. As long as you follow your doctors’ instructions on how to administer your HGH injections, do not exceed your recommended dose, and report any side effects immediately, you should have very few safety concerns with taking HGH injections.

We want anyone considering growth hormone therapy to understand that growth hormone injections are very safe when taken properly.

All of the FDA-approved growth hormone injections are some form of the prescription medication known as somatropin. Somatotropin is made from recombinant humane DNA. It is virtually indistinguishable on a chemical and molecular level from the growth hormone naturally produced by your body.

Because the growth hormone used in growth hormone injections is practically an exact duplicate as the HGH that is normally produced by your pituitary, when used correctly, it is no more dangerous a substance than the somatotropin normally released by your pituitary gland. 

Growth hormone injections are approved by the FDA and generally regarded as safe.

Do You Need a Prescription for HGH Injections?

Yes. You must have a doctor’s prescription to purchase HGH injections. You cannot buy HGH injections without a doctor’s prescription. Any product claiming to be HGH or contain HGH that you can buy without a prescription is not genuine HGH, and therefore by its very nature, does not have the safety nor efficacy of real HGH.  

How Can I Legally Get a Prescription for HGH Injections?

Genuine HGH injections are quite safe. There is only one way to obtain growth hormone legally. It is not complicated. It only takes Five Simple Steps.

• Step 1 – Fill out an online medical history form – This first step is indeed the only step in the process of getting HGH injections that can be done online.
• Step 2 – See a doctor –If your online medical history form indicates that you are a good candidate for HGH therapy, the next step is to see your doctor. He or she will discuss your medical history in further detail, ask you more about your symptoms, and take a complete physical exam.
• Step 3 – Laboratory hormone testing – Once you have completed your physical exam, you will be referred to a laboratory to have the hormone levels in your blood tested.
• Step 4 – You will obtain a prescription for a program of HGH injections –  If the results of your laboratory tests show that your HGH levels are low, your doctor will prescribe a dosage of growth hormone injections to suit your needs and lifestyle.
• Step 5 – Your HGH will be delivered to you – Your prescription for HGH therapy will be forwarded to one of the pharmacies we work with that specializes in filling prescriptions for HGH injections. The pharmacy will then deliver your HGH therapy supplies to you.  

How Safe are HGH Products or HGH Boosters?

You must understand that there is no such thing as over-the-counter HGH. HGH is a prescription medication that is only available as an injection. Any product that claims to be HGH or contain HGH that comes in any other form than an injection or can be bought without a doctor’s prescription is not genuine HGH.

There are no HGH pills, no HGH powders, or patches, or gels. These products are not HGH. They are sold as so-called "HGH boosters," which are usually combinations of proteins, amino acids, or other ingredients that claim to be able to "raise" or "boost" your HGH levels.

But since these products are sold as "nutritional supplements," they are not regulated by the FDA, which means any claims of their safety and efficacy are not verified by the government or any official scientific or regulating agency.

REAL HGH DOES NOT COME IN A PILL

The claims made by these products are dubious at best, and they have not been evaluated at all for safety and therefore could have some harmful side effects or ingredients. 

If you think you are suffering from low HGH, the only treatment is genuine HGH injections prescribed by your doctor.

Something even more dangerous than HGH products that you need to be wary of is black market HGH. HGH products probably are not very harmful. They just are not particularly useful for really raising your HGH levels. On the other hand, however, black market HGH can be very harmful, even fatal.

What is Black Market HGH?

Legitimate HGH cannot be obtained without a doctor’s prescription and can never be purchased online. You can find “black market HGH” sold online on websites that will sell HGH to you without a prescription. DO NOT purchase this HGH. Any kind of HGH injections that you can buy online are not only illegal, but they are also inferior quality HGH at best, or at worst contain little or no actual HGH and can be filled with toxic ingredients.

Such black market HGH is usually made in China or India. Only a few certified labs are capable of producing authentic prescription HGH, the drug known as somatropin. Somatotropin is made in high-tech pharmaceutical labs using recombinant human DNA and, as such, has a very specific 191 amino acid chain sequence.

Therefore, producing genuine FDA-approved HGH is an extremely complicated process. The necessary lab equipment to produce authentic HGH is a multimillion-dollar investment – unreachable for a bargain basement “steroid lab” in the Far East. Jintropin, a once-popular brand of HGH made in China, is now banned for sale in the US because it was found to not have the correct amino acid sequence of authentic somatropin.

However, Jintropin is still made in China and is marketed under different names and sold on these black market websites. This inferior HGH only has a 192 amino acid chain. One amino acid difference may not sound like much, but it changes the drug’s entire molecular structure, making it extremely dangerous, even deadly. No doctor in the US will ever prescribe Jintropin. It is illegal for them to do so.

The bottom line: You can never purchase authentic HGH online.

What Do the Studies Have to Say About the Safety and Efficacy of HGH Injections?

The safety and efficacy of HGH injections for the treatment of patients with growth hormone deficiency have been studied and researched extensively.

A search of Pub Med reveals nearly 400 scholarly articles on the safety and positive benefits of growth hormone therapy published between the years 2018 and 2020.

One of the most recent, published in the March 2018 edition of the International Journal of Molecule Science, entitled, Treatment with Growth Hormone for Adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency Syndrome: Benefits and Risks concluded: “Growth hormone replacement exerts unquestionable beneficial effects in many [adult] patients with GHD, and its use is safe for approved indications. [In addition,] HGH has shown beneficial effects on body composition, exercise capacity, bone structure, serum lipids, and quality of life.”

To ensure the safety of growth hormone injections, always follow your doctors’ instructions. Never buy HGH without a doctor’s prescription. It is illegal and dangerous.
