Somatropin, commonly referred to as human growth hormone (HGH), is currently one of the most popular drugs on the market. Because of this, many companies would like to make a profit from its popularity. Unfortunately, companies that sell HGH drugs are not always legitimate, and there are many forms of human growth hormone that are simply ineffective or, even worse, dangerous.

HGH’s popularity stems from its wide-ranging effects on the human body. HGH is a hormone that is naturally produced in the human body, and the drug form of HGH is an exact replica of natural human growth hormone. In the medical industry, HGH is used to treat short stature in children caused by both growth hormone deficiency and certain diseases, including Turner’s, Prader-Willi, and short bowel syndromes, renal disease, and a genetic condition known as X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH). Additionally, it’s used to treat muscle wasting in AIDS and cachexia patients, and short stature in children with an undetermined cause.

However, much of human growth hormone’s popularity stems from its cosmetic effects; it is most widely used as a bodybuilding and physical enhancement drug. As an intravenous drug, HGH can promote lean muscle growth and weight loss, increase energy, shorten recovery time between workouts, heal damaged tissue, and strengthen joints and ligaments. HGH is also commonly used as an anti-aging drug to prevent and repair the damage responsible for wrinkled skin, osteoporosis, and memory loss.

In an attempt to prevent HGH scams, several HGH manufacturers (GeneScience Pharmaceuticals, Neogenica BioScience, AnkeBio, etc.) have developed a web site–www.somatropin.net–devoted entirely to somatropin. Covering the basic facts on the drug, the web site defines growth hormone terminology, presents a basic history on the development of the recombinant HGH drug, and explains in detail how HGH works as both a medical and cosmetic drug.

The web site is innovative in its attempt to prevent HGH scams. Information on the site explains some of the ineffective methods of HGH administration widely available on the market, and also explains certain methods of HGH manufacturing that are impure and can cause damage.

The web site lists the companies that sell HGH, the type of HGH they manufacture, and their contact information. When questioned about their intentions for this web site, a representative from Neogenica BioScience explained, “We basically want to stop HGH scams, prevent abuse, and educate people on what HGH can and cannot do for them.” For more information, please visit www.somatropin.net.
