Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell regeneration, metabolism, and maintaining healthy tissues, including muscles and bones.
Key Functions of HGH:
? Stimulates growth in children and adolescents by promoting bone and muscle development.
? Enhances muscle growth and strength by increasing protein synthesis.
? Boosts fat metabolism, helping reduce body fat.
? Supports tissue repair and recovery from injuries.
? Strengthens bones by increasing bone density.
