Human Growth Hormone

Injectable Human Growth Hormone

The approved usage is human growth hormone is for people with a growth hormone deficiency. A large enough amount of hormone cannot be produced by their pituitary gland.

The most common medical therapy for children who are hormone deficient is to use injections. These human growth hormone injections have been studied since the early 1950's and are available by prescription only. This treatment can help children to grow a few extra inches. These human growth hormone injections must be created in an FDA.

Injectable human growth hormone can also be called as somatropin, which is produced and stored in the anterior of the pituitary gland inside the brain. This hormone is one of the most abundant hormones secreted. It determines the growth of bones, cells, organs and muscles through out the body.

At adolescence, hormone production peaks the top point when accelerated growth occurs. If the growing children have too much human growth hormone they become giants while if they have human growth hormone deficiency they remain as shorts. Daily secretion of hormone declines as we grow.

For example a 60 year old man may secrete 4 to 5 times less of growth hormone than a 20 year old adolescent. Medical studies suggest that the symptoms of aging are associated with the declination human growth hormone levels in our body. Growth hormone is an urgently needed hormone in our body that helps to prevent the aging process.

Injectable human growth hormone is one of the many endocrine hormones such as progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, melatonin, and testosterone, that all decline in production with growing age. Some of these hormones try to prevent the effects of aging, while growth hormone reaches far beyond any of these hormones.

Human growth hormones not only help to prevent the biological effects of aging, it also promotes weight loss, improves memory, builds muscle mass, increases energy, significantly enhances sex drive and many other symptoms associated with aging process. Human growth hormone injections cannot be effectively taken by tables, sprays or by swallowing. When these hormones are applied by intramuscular or sub-cutaneous injections, this can be more effective.

The human growth hormone is an agent that stimulates the secretion mostly the secretion of amino acids that causes the pituitary to liberate a little amount of HGH, but are much less effective than the recombinant human growth hormone. The recombinant human growth hormone injections are distributed only with the prescription and can be taken only by intramuscular or sub-cutaneous injection.

The injections are taken daily for four successive days. The time of injections may not be much important, as human growth hormone is normally produced in our body by pituitary gland during the early hours of sleep and that's why evening dosages are preferred followed by a three day rest. According the several years of experience this schedule found to be more effective and safe.

There are many other alternatives to the injectable human growth hormone products. But these are not as effective as the injectable hgh. These alternative forms can be used by the patients who are afraid of needles or cannot afford injectable human growth hormone treatment.

Injectable human growth hormone, Serostim and Saizen is produced by recombinant DNA technology. It contains residue of 191 amino acids and it's molecular weight is 22,125 daltons. It's amino acid structure and sequence is similar to the dominant form of human growth hormone produced by pituitary gland. Serostim and Saizen injectable human growth hormone is produced by a mammalian cell line, which has been upgraded by the addition of the human growth hormone gene. This correct three-dimensional configuration is directly secreted through the cell membrane into the cell-culture medium for purification and collection.
