Human Growth Hormone 

Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a critical role in growth, cell regeneration, and tissue repair. Medically, synthetic HGH is prescribed to treat growth hormone deficiencies, muscle-wasting diseases, and certain conditions like Turner syndrome. It is also used to promote recovery in burn victims and patients with severe injuries.

In fitness and bodybuilding, HGH is popular for its ability to enhance muscle growth, reduce body fat, and improve recovery. It stimulates protein synthesis, increases collagen production, and supports fat metabolism, leading to improved strength, endurance, and skin elasticity. However, misuse or high doses can lead to side effects such as water retention, joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, insulin resistance, and organ growth. Long-term abuse may increase the risk of diabetes and heart problems. Proper dosing and monitoring are essential to maximize benefits while minimizing health risks.
