What Is Human Growth Hormone?

Growth hormone (GH) is a protein-based poly-peptide hormone. It stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. It is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide hormone that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.

Somatotropin refers to the growth hormone produced natively and naturally in humans, whereas the term somatropin refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology,  and is abbreviated “rhGH” in humans.

Growth hormone is used clinically to treat children’s growth disorders and adult growth hormone deficiency. In recent years, replacement therapies with human growth hormones (hGH) have become popular in the battle against aging and weight management. Reported effects on GH deficient patients (but not on healthy people) include decreased body fat, increased muscle mass, increased bone density, increased energy levels, improved skin tone and texture, increased sexual function and improved immune system function.

Recently Human Growth Hormone Releasers have hit the headlines, as they can now help boost our natural HGH levels naturally, with the help of natural ingredients which are clinically proven to boost human growth hormone levels safely.

HGH Releasers and Boosters should not be confused with Homeopathic, or injection driven HGH which are completely different in terms of usage and results. For more information about the difference check out our article about HGH Treatments.
