Anyone contemplating the use of HGH should first understand its actions and side effects. HGH side effects are possible. HGH is a precursor to IGF-1. When HGH passes through the liver, it’s converted into IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor) IGF-1 is a very unstable compound. This is why the body waits until the lasts minute to make it naturally.
In order for the liver to convert extra HGH into IGF-1, various hormone levels must be elevated. Hormones such as Insulin, T-3/T-4, anabolic hormones and estrogen contribute to the effects of HGH.

Potential negative HGH Side Effects include: Suppressed T-3 thyroid hormones, kidneys and heart enlargement, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid hormone deficiency, and
Acromegaly (swelling of the hands and feet, body hair, protruding jaw, voice deepening, enlarged nose, joint pain, degenerative arthritis, enlarged heart and other organs).

Andriol is an oral testosterone steroid. Methyltestosterone is the other orally active testosterone. The steroid Andriol has a distinct absorption system. When taken with food it is assimilated through the mucosal cells in the small intestine. This steroid thereby avoids absorption through first pass deactivation in the liver. This equals a higher level of the Andriol steroid enters the blood. Some of the steroid is then converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which has a high atraction to androgen receptors. Andriol does not convert into estrogen at a high level like other testosterones. This is also why water retention is lower, as well as gyno and female pattern fat deposits are far less common. Andriol has a reputation for a low negative effect on the HTPA (hypothalamic pituitary testes axis) and is not know to suppress natural androgen production to a great degree with the lower reported dosages. This is mainly due to estrogen’s negative effect that HPTA function is decreased. However, estrogen has to be present in low levels for steroids to reach there full effectiveness.
