Human Growth Hormone, although
misleading because of its name, is not actually a hormone.
It is a group of 191 amino acids. Its chemical name is
Somatropin. Human growth hormone decreases as people age
which causes a wide range of consequences such as a slower
metabolism and slower healing. Naturally, avoiding these
things would lead to better health.
The place of production is in
the pituitary gland. At first it could only be extracted
from dead cadavers. However, hgh is now available in other
forms due to advances in genetic engineering.
