Human growth hormone (hGH) is a 191 amino acid polypeptide secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. The hormone is critical for height increase and stature development before puberty, and is needed for maintaining healthy organ and vitality in adults. In childhood, insufficient hGH results in short stature and over secretion of hGH causes gigantism. hGH is regulated primarily by somatocrinin and somatostatin released from hypothyalamus in response to physiological signals such as age, gender nutrition, excise, stress and sleep etc.

Double distillated water is recommended to adjust the final concentration to 1.00mg/mL.
