Somatropin is any form of synthetically created Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Synthetic HGH is simply a man made version of the naturally produced Growth Hormone (GH) by the human body. This is one of the most valuable and important hormones our body makes, and is perhaps the most sought out synthetic hormone on the market.
Important Note: Somatropin (HGH) is not an anabolic steroid. It is also referred to as an anabolic steroid in news reports, but is not an anabolic steroid in any shape or form.
Somatropin Functions & Traits:
HGH is a protein based hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland. This is a hormone produced by all people regardless of sex or age, although in very low amounts in adulthood. This is a hormone that affects the entire human body and is essential to our wellbeing, out health and how we function. Somatropin is simply a synthetic version of this naturally produced hormone.
Somatropin (HGH) functions by sending a signal to the cells in our muscles, bones and fat tissue. This signal promotes muscle growth and affects fat loss. The functions of the hormone also increase gluconeogenesis and promote insulin resistance thereby providing reduced sensitivity to insulin. All of this results in an increase rate of fat loss.
There are numerous forms of Somatropin on the market, or we should say “supposed” Somatropin. There are many variants and fragments but they are not Somatropin. Only the 191 amino acid sequence that is identical to naturally produced GH can be labeled true Somatropin. Any variation, even if effective, is not Somatropin.
Important Note: Somatropin not only affects muscle and fat, but the effects go into bone and organs and almost all areas of the human body.
Effects of Somatropin:
The effects of Somatropin cover a wide range of areas and can lead to dramatic improvements all over the human body. This is a compound that’s most commonly used to treat pituitary dwarfism or GH deficiency in adults in medical settings, which can occur for numerous reasons. It is also used in HIV and AIDS treatment, burn victims, short bowel syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. No entanto, in recent years the most common reason for use (medically) has become anti-aging. Anti-aging use is common worldwide but far more common outside the U.S. The drug is very expensive (heavily in the U.S.) and laws still make anti-aging practices somewhat difficult in the U.S.
For the athlete, Somatropin is a highly beneficial compound although not commonly one that’s used alone. When used alone the primary benefit is anti-aging and most athletes are looking for a lot more. This is an anabolic hormone, but not well known for promoting significant growth. No entanto, when combined with anabolic steroids the results can be incredible. Somatropin and anabolic steroids appear to work very well with one another. You can take a steroid alone and then take it with Somatropin in the same dose and the cycle that included Somatropin will always yield superior results.
One of the best traits of Somatropin for the athlete is in its ability to promote recovery. Recovery is when progress is made and without it no progress is made. The more we can improve on the recovery process the greater our progress can be. This can make use alone and without other hormones very valuable, but there are things that must be understood. It takes months and months for these types of benefits to become truly beneficial. You can’t take Somatropin for a few weeks and expect to hold a benefit. And if recovery is the only benefit you’re after (truly valuable) because it’s not as “visual” as mass and strength some become frustrated too quickly.
Another important effect of Somatropin is its effect on the metabolism. For the bodybuilder this is extremely important. Off-season use of Somatropin will allow for less fat to be gained during a period of growth. It becomes even more valuable during a cutting cycle designed for contest prep as the individual will burn fat at a much greater rate, preserve far more muscle tissue and protect from injuries that occur at far greater frequencies during this period of training.
The benficial effects of Somatropin do not end there. HGH is directly involved and related to another powerful naturally produced hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). This is another hormone that affects nearly every cell in the human body, is essential for recovery and bodily function. Increases in HGH levels will increase IGF-1 levels in the body.
Important Note: IGF-1 can be an antagonist to the effects of HGH. This can make the use of exogenous IGF-1 damaging to the individual who supplements with exogenous GH in some cases.
Overall, and it’s not hard to see why, Somatropin has often been called “The Fountain of Youth.” This is not something that will prevent aging, but it will most certainly slow down the effects. It is nearly impossible for any adult not to benefit from Somatropin use. Whether for the purpose of athletics, bodybuilding or anti-aging and whether male or female, the effects of Somatropin include:
Decreased Body Fat,
Enhanced Ability to Maintain Proper Body Fat Levels
A Tighter Physique
Enhanced Metabolic Rate
Enhanced Sense of Wellbeing
Healthier Skin
Improved Sleeping Patterns
Increased Bone Strength
Increased Energy
Increased Joint Strength
Increased Lean Tissue Growth
Increased Rate of Physical Recovery
Increased Tendon Strength
This is only the tip if the iceberg when it comes to Somatropin, it can provide even more than the above list shows. But the above list alone should give you a very good idea of how valuable this hormone is.
