No short description available.

Molecular Info

Chain Length:191 amino acids
Sequence Type:Single-chain polypeptide with two disulfide bridges
Molecular Weight:22,124 Da (22 kDa)
Amino Acid Sequence:191 amino acid single-chain protein with 4 cysteine residues forming 2 intrachain disulfide bonds. Identical to endogenous pituitary-derived hGH
Modification:Recombinant form (somatropin) is bioidentical to natural human growth hormone. Produced via E. coli recombinant DNA technology

Research Indications

Growthhormone

effective

Growth Hormone Deficiency
FDA-approved for pediatric GHD, adult GHD, Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi, SGA, and other conditions
HIV-Associated Wasting
FDA-approved to increase lean body mass in HIV-associated cachexia

Body Composition

moderate

Fat Mass Reduction
Consistent reduction in fat mass, especially visceral adiposity, through enhanced lipolysis
Lean Mass Increase
Statistically significant increases in lean body mass demonstrated in meta-analyses

Anti Aging

most_effective

Anti-Aging Research
Research shows body composition and recovery benefits; not FDA-approved for anti-aging

Recovery

effective

Recovery u0026 Performance
May support recovery and athletic performance through enhanced protein synthesis and tissue repair

Interactions

Insulin

Complex Interaction

HGH decreases insulin sensitivity and can cause insulin resistance. Diabetics may need increased insulin doses. Monitor blood glucose closely when combining

IGF-1 / IGF-1 LR3

Synergistic but Caution

HGH stimulates endogenous IGF-1 production. Adding exogenous IGF-1 compounds effects but increases hypoglycemia and side effect risks

Thyroid Hormones (T3/T4)

Monitor Required

HGH increases T4 to T3 conversion and can unmask central hypothyroidism in 36-47% of patients. Monitor thyroid function; may require T4 supplementation

CJC-1295

Synergistic

GHRH analog that stimulates natural GH release. Can be used with HGH for enhanced effects, though may be redundant if using adequate HGH doses

Ipamorelin

Synergistic

Ghrelin mimetic that stimulates GH release via different pathway. Combination may enhance overall GH/IGF-1 axis but increases complexity

GHRP-6 / GHRP-2

Synergistic

Growth hormone releasing peptides work synergistically with HGH. Can enhance natural pulsatile release alongside exogenous administration

Cortisol / Hydrocortisone

Important Interaction

HGH can unmask cortisol deficiency in hypopituitary patients. Cortisol replacement should precede HGH therapy in patients with multiple deficiencies

Testosterone

Synergistic

Commonly combined in hormone replacement protocols. Both support anabolism, body composition, and well-being. Monitor estrogen conversion

Metformin

Monitor Combination

Metformin may be used to manage HGH-induced insulin resistance. Some evidence suggests metformin may reduce IGF-1 levels - monitor response

Semaglutide / Tirzepatide

Complementary

GLP-1 agonists may help manage HGH-induced insulin resistance while supporting fat loss goals. Increasingly combined in body composition protocols

Dosage Protocols

Medical GHD Replacement (Starting):0.15-0.3 mg/day (0.5-1 IU)Once daily
Medical GHD Replacement (Maintenance):0.4-0.8 mg/day (1.2-2.4 IU)Once daily
Anti-Aging / Wellness (Conservative):1-2 IU/day (0.33-0.67 mg)Once daily
Body Recomposition (Moderate):2-4 IU/day (0.67-1.33 mg)Once or twice daily
Performance (Higher - More Risk):4-8 IU/day (1.33-2.67 mg)Split twice daily
Fasted Morning Protocol:2-4 IUMorning on empty stomach

Route:injectable

Reconstitution

Remove HGH vial from refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature (15-20 minutes)
Clean the rubber stopper of both HGH vial and BAC water with alcohol swab
Determine reconstitution volume - common: 1 mL BAC water per 10 IU vial (each 0.1 mL = 1 IU)
Draw bacteriostatic water into syringe slowly, removing all air bubbles
Insert needle into HGH vial at angle, aiming stream at vial wall - NOT directly on powder
Inject BAC water slowly down the inside wall of the vial - drop by drop
Remove needle and gently swirl vial in circular motion - NEVER SHAKE
Allow to sit if any cloudiness, then swirl again until completely clear
Solution should be crystal clear - discard if cloudy or contains particles
Label vial with reconstitution date and concentration
Store in refrigerator at 2-8°C, use within 14-28 days depending on product
