The human growth hormone (HGH) is defined as “a protein hormone of about 190 amino acids which is synthesized and secreted by cells called somatotrophs in the anterior pituitary. It is a major participant in the control of several complex physiologic processes, including growth and metabolism.” As a drug it’s used in animals and people.

Acccording to BBC Sport, “Scientists first isolated HGH in 1956. Three years later, NHS doctors began to use it in the treatment of children suffering from stunted growth.”

According to Wikipedia, “Assessing the psychological value of treatment is difficult but most children and families are enthusiastic once physical benefits are seen. The treatment of children usually involves daily injections of the growth hormone, usually for as long as the child is growing. Lifelong continuation may be recommended for those most severely deficient as adults. Most pediatric endocrinologists monitor growth and adjust dosage every 3-4 months.”

Quoting the same source, “Growth Hormones can refer either to the natural hormone produced by the pituitary gland or to biosynthetic GH for therapy.”

According to an article written by R. Bowen, “Growth is a very complex process, and requires the coordinated action of several hormones. The major role of growth hormone in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-I. IGF-I stimulates proliferation of chondrocytes (cartilage cells), resulting in bone growth.”

You can find at least 200 HGH related products in the marketplace. Choosing which one to use is a difficult task that needs some consideration. Buy a growth hormone that is FDA approved and is recommended by physicians. Treatments can cost as much as $10,000 to $30,000 a year depending on the case.

The growth hormone’s benefits have been shown in clinical studies. They include increased muscle tone, reduced wrinkles and smoother-looking skin. The hormone also helps you sleep better.
