HGH is a natural hormone used for specific medical conditions in children and adults. Therapy can help when deficiency or defined disorders exist, but it carries side effects, costs, and controversial off-label uses in anti-aging, sport, and agriculture.
Recombinant human growth hormone (somatropin) treats specific growth conditions but carries side effects and is often misused for anti-aging and doping. Supervised use is effective; off-label and counterfeit use is risky.
Somatropin (recombinant human growth hormone) stimulates growth and alters metabolism.
