Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also referred to as somatotropin or somatropin, is a peptide hormone that promotes growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans and various animals. This hormone is categorized as a mitogen and is specific to certain types of cells. HGH is composed of 191 amino acids and exists as a single-chain polypeptide. It is produced, stored, and released by somatotropic cells located in the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Its secretion is influenced by various factors, including diet and physical activity.

HGH encourages cells in the body to both grow in size and divide more quickly than normal. It also facilitates the transport of amino acids across cell membranes and enhances the conversion of these amino acids into proteins. This leads to an anabolic effect, which aids in muscle building. Additionally, HGH helps cells to lower their usual carbohydrate consumption while boosting fat utilization. Research has shown that fat loss and increases in lean mass can occur at doses of just 0.028 iu/kg daily over a period of 24 weeks. It also promotes the production of IGF-1.

In medicine, HGH is utilized to treat growth disorders in children and adult growth hormone deficiencies. Studies have consistently shown that modulating HGH can yield several beneficial effects, such as:

Moreover, various studies, particularly those involving individuals with HGH deficiency, have indicated that HGH plays a significant role in mental and emotional well-being, as well as in maintaining high energy levels. Adults lacking HGH often display higher rates of depression compared to those with normal HGH levels.

Research has also explored HGH's impact on cognitive function, such as learning and memory, suggesting that it may enhance cognitive abilities and be beneficial for patients experiencing cognitive impairments due to HGH deficiency.

Since at least 1982, HGH has been misused by athletes seeking an edge in sports. While HGH can effectively promote substantial weight and muscle gains, it is less effective for enhancing strength. Competitors in the 1970s and particularly in the 1980s began to exhibit a more sculpted physique with pronounced muscle definition reminiscent of classical sculptures, which can be reasonably argued was not due to increased cardio or higher protein intake.

HGH tends to demonstrate more significant effects and benefits when combined with a steroid cycle rather than on its own. Therefore, it is often deemed suitable for cutting cycles aimed at achieving lean muscle and fat loss.
