Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Human growth hormone (hGH), also known as somatotropin, is scientifically validated for use in supporting the anterior pituitary body system, particularly in cases of growth hormone deficiency. The anterior pituitary gland naturally secretes hGH, which plays a critical role in regulating growth, metabolism, and overall development. When the anterior pituitary fails to produce adequate amounts of hGH, individuals (most notably children) can develop growth disorders, and adults may experience altered metabolism, decreased muscle mass, and impaired quality of life. Recombinant hGH therapy, developed in the 1980s, is FDA-approved for treating pediatric and adult growth hormone deficiencies, as well as certain conditions such as Turner syndrome, chronic kidney disease in children, and Prader-Willi syndrome. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in promoting linear growth in children and improving body composition, bone density, and cardiovascular risk profiles in adults with deficiency. However, the use of hGH outside of medically indicated deficiency, such as for anti-aging or athletic enhancement, is not supported by scientific evidence and may carry significant risks. In summary, hGH is a hormone with robust scientific evidence supporting its use specifically for deficiencies linked to anterior pituitary dysfunction.
