it isnt a steroid, but its a performance enhancing hormone that is extremely dagerous if it is used inappropriately. if you take too much or are out of puberty youre at risk for acromegaly (do a google image search) and organ failure. dont mess with it if a doc didnt prescribe it

Human growth hormone is one of a number of steroidal hormones naturally produced by our bodies. The adrenals and sex hormones are examples. The side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) and inadequate thyroid function. A huge misconception, brought on by the mass media, is that Giantism is a common side effect of using GH in the normal human body. This is only true if GH is used during the pre-pubescent period time in ones life. It is very important that a person be completely full grown and mature before using GH. Other rare side effects include diabetes, heart enlargement, high blood pressure, and enlargement of the kidneys.
