Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Human growth hormone (HGH) is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell regeneration, and maintaining healthy body tissues. HGH stimulates the growth of bones, muscles, and organs during childhood and adolescence. It also helps regulate body composition, metabolism, and various physiological processes throughout life.
In addition to its role in growth, HGH has other important functions such as promoting protein synthesis, enhancing fat metabolism, and regulating insulin levels. It also plays a role in maintaining healthy body fluids, bone density, and muscle mass. HGH levels are typically highest during childhood and adolescence, and gradually decline as a person ages.
Synthetic forms of HGH have been developed and are used medically to treat certain conditions related to growth hormone deficiency, such as short stature in children or muscle wasting in adults. However, the use of HGH as a performance-enhancing drug or for anti-aging purposes is controversial and illegal without a prescription.
