-
Somatropin is a form of synthetic human growth hormone. While Somatropin can be used to treat different kinds of illnesses, people use it for its anti-aging properties. Because natural growth hormone slows as we age it may be recommended that you begin taking Somatropin in your late 30s. However, there is no evidence that Somatropin helps to stop the aging process no matter what age you begin taking it.
Production
Human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary glands. These hormones help control the rate the body grows and creates muscle mass.
Somatropin
Somatropin is the synthetic version of the human growth hormone that is naturally found in the body. It is available by prescription only and is given via injections.
Benefits
Somatropin can increase muscle mass, improve circulation, decrease body fat and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. More potent results are evident using smaller dosages. Taking Somatropin in your 30s can raise the growth hormone levels to where they were when you were in your 20s.
Side Effects
People who take Somatropin may be at an increased risk of developing carpel tunnel syndrome, weight gain, swelling of the arms and legs and joint pain.
Prevention/Solution
Because there are no studies to support the use of Somatropin in healthy adults those who do not have medical conditions such has HIV, certain cancers or human growth hormone deficiency should not use Somatropin.
