Human Growth Hormone: Recombinant Human Growth Hormone
built 643 days ago
Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (r-hGH) is human growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology. Serono's r-hGH products are indicated for the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency, adult growth hormone deficiency, HIV wasting or cachexia and for the treatment of short bowel syndrome.

The unique quality of Human Growth Hormone, consisting of a total of 191 amino acids, made it impossible to reproduce until 1986 when it was recreated in a laboratory. This invention is called a Recombinant Growth Hormone, or GH, and it simply means that it is a synthetic hormone produced in a lab. One GH, Humatrope, is one of the widely used growth hormones today.

Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) can be effectively treated with recombinant human Growth Hormone. A medically supervised HGH program has many benefits that can improve the user’s life on every level imaginable and AAG Health specializes in treating adults who are experiencing symptoms and problems associated with AGHD. Griffin Medical Group prescribes Sermorelin injections for patients with AGHD. Typically, patients inject themselves with a specific dose once a night.

There are only a few companies making recombinant human growth hormone here in the US. So prices are going to remain out-of-reach for most Americans. There are Chinese companies making high quality HGH, but none of them have bothered to get a US FDA approval. If a Chinese company does get FDA approval, the fountain of youth floodgate will be wide open.

Prior to the advent of recombinant DNA technology, the only source of growth hormone was from human cadavers. More than 27,000 children worldwide were treated with growth hormone of this source (pit-hGH). Due to short supply, children were treated with low doses and interrupted regimens. As a result, their response and ultimate height was mitigated.

Fortunately, modern technology came to help in this precarious situation, before it was too late: recombinant technology where bacteria are programmed to synthesize pure human growth hormone is now the procedure of choice. It is readily available from special pharmaceutical labs, is 100% pure, is affordable and is always the same dosage from batch to batch. It aslso is 100% free from bacteria, viruses or mad cow disease pathogens (prions).
