Human growth hormone, also known as HGH and somatotropin, is a natural hormone your pituitary gland makes and releases that acts on many parts of the body to promote growth in children.

Description | Somatropin is a growth hormone useful in the treatment of hypopituitaxy dwarfism and other disorders resulting from growth hormone deficiencies. Lilly has used recombinant technology to produce human somatropin identical to the natural hormone. Somamm, the N-methionyl derivative of somatropin, was launched in 1985 by Genentech for the same indications. |
Description | Somatotropin, a second-generation (methionine-free) human growth hormone produced by recombinant technology, was launched in the U.S.A. for the treatment of growth failure in children due to chronic renal insufficiency before transplantation and for the long term treatment of short stature in children with growth failure due to a lack of endogenous growth hormone secretion. The efficacy of somatotropin is reportedly comparable to the first biosynthetic growth hormone somatrem, which contains a methionyl residue, but with less frequent antibody formation and rarely causes allergic effects or impairs growth response. Somatotropin is also in clinical trials for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency in adults and is currently under approval review for Turner's syndrome. |
Clinical Use | Human Growth Hormone (Somatotropin) is a protein that is essential for normal growth and developmentin humans. Human Growth Hormone(hGH) affects many aspects of humandevelopment and metabolism including longitudinalgrowth, regulation (increase) of protein synthesis and lipolysis,and regulation (decrease) of glucose metabolism. Human Growth Hormone(hGH)has been used as a drug since the 1950s, and it has been extremelysuccessful in the treatment of classic growth hormonedeficiency, chronic renal insufficiency, Turner syndrome,failure to lactate in women, and Prader-Willisyndrome. In its long history, the hormone has been remarkablysuccessful and free of side effects. |
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) plays a crucial role in growth during childhood and adolescence. It stimulates growth and helps regulate various aspects of metabolism. However, once the growth plates in the bones close after puberty, the potential for further height increase diminishes.
Taking HGH as a supplement in adulthood is not likely to significantly increase height. It may lead to various side effects and health risks. The use of HGH for non-medical purposes, such as height enhancement, is not recommended and can have serious consequences.
If you have concerns about your height or growth, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.
what hgh does?
The pituitary gland is a structure in our brain that produces different types of specialised hormones, including growth hormone (also referred to as human growth hormone or HGH). The roles of growth hormone include influencing our height, and helping build our bones and muscles
