Human growth hormone - Page 3

In the 1950s HGH was first sourced from pituitary glands. Its use was halted in 1985 because of the link found between HGH derived from cadavers and Creutzfeldt Jakob disease—an incurable brain ailment that is fatal, in nature. Human growth hormone (HGH) known scientifically as somatropin plays a role in growth and development by affecting the growth of bones and muscles, alongside bodily tissues. This led to the development of synthetic HGH, with somatrem, the first synthetic form, introduced by Genentech. By 1987, somatropin, an exact replica of natural HGH, became the safer alternative produced using recombinant DNA technology. Serious athletes and bodybuilders may find that somatropin offers them an advantage by enhancing the results they can achieve when used alongside steroids.While HGH supports muscle growth, strength, and athletic performance, its effects are generally milder compared to anabolic steroids
