Acromegaly is a disease characterized by enlargement of skeletal parts due to excessive growth hormone production, usually caused by a benign tumor in the pituitary gland. This condition mainly affects the hands, feet, and face, resulting in changes in body proportions and features. Treatment may involve surgery, medication, or radiation therapy to reduce growth hormone levels.


What Ergogenic aids increase the risk of acromegaly?

Acromegaly is a condition characterized by the excessive growth of bone and connective tissue, often resulting in enlarged facial features, hands, and feet. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using any ergogenic aids to avoid potential adverse health effects.
