Human Growth Hormone (HGH) – Somatropin

What It Is

Somatropin is a laboratory-made form of human growth hormone (HGH) — a naturally occurring peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. In the body, HGH plays a vital role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism. It influences how our tissues, bones, and muscles develop, and it continues to have important functions throughout life, even after childhood growth is complete.

How It Works

HGH works by stimulating the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the liver and other tissues. IGF-1 is one of the key drivers behind:

• Muscle development – encouraging protein synthesis and recovery.

• Bone health – supporting density and strength.

• Cell regeneration – helping maintain skin, connective tissue, and organs.

• Metabolism – influencing how the body uses fat, carbs, and protein.

  The Interest Around HGH

  Outside of prescribed use, HGH has gained attention in wellness and fitness circles. Many people are curious about it because of its connection to:

  • Youthful appearance – linked to skin elasticity and cell repair.

  • Performance and recovery – how the body builds and repairs muscle.

  • Energy levels – effects on metabolism and body composition.
