What is Humatrope?<\/h2>\n

Humatrope<\/a> (somatropin) is a man-made, recombinant (synthetic) form of human growth hormone (HGH for short) that is produced by Eli Lilly and Company. It\u2019s a 191-amino acid polypeptide hormone that was originally approved by the FDA in 1987 and is one of the most popular brands of HGH available today.<\/p>\n

Like other brands, Humatrope comes in a pen that allows you to easily inject a specified amount of HGH into the fatty tissue found underneath the skin. Since it\u2019s FDA-approved, users can inject Humatrope comfortably \u2013 knowing that they\u2019re getting a quality product that\u2019s usually prescribed by a doctor.<\/p>\n

With so many different brands available today, we can understand there being a lot of questions about what Humatrope is, what human growth hormone is, why people inject HGH, and what benefits it can provide the body. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re going to answer as much of those questions as possible below!<\/p>\n

What is Human Growth Hormone (HGH)?<\/h2>\n

Human growth hormone<\/a>, also known as HGH, is a polypeptide hormone produced naturally by the pituitary gland (found in the base of the brain) and regulated by the hypothalamus (located above the pituitary gland). Like other hormones in the endocrine system, the body needs a specific amount daily.<\/p>\n

The natural process for making HGH starts when the hypothalamus produces growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). The GHRH is sent to the pituitary gland, where it stimulates the release of HGH. That release continues until the hypothalamus produces somatostatin, which inhibits the release of HGH.<\/p>\n

The primary responsibility of HGH is to stimulate growth and development in children, but it also serves a purpose in adults \u2013 mainly with the body\u2019s metabolism. And just like any other hormone in the body, too much or too little natural growth hormone can be detrimental to an individual\u2019s health and overall quality of life.<\/p>\n

Why Do People Take Humatrope?<\/h2>\n

The body needs the right amount of HGH in order to function properly, but not everyone\u2019s body produces the correct amount. For those that have a growth hormone deficiency \u2013 whether it be a child or adult \u2013 taking synthetic HGH injections can help replenish any natural HGH the body isn\u2019t receiving, striking a healthy balance.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most prominent medical reasons why some children and adults take HGH:<\/p>\n
