How is somatropin made?

The active substance in Somatropin Biopartners, somatropin, is identical to the human growth hormone. It is produced by a method known as 'recombinant DNA technology': the hormone is made by yeast cells into which a gene (DNA) has been introduced that makes them able to produce it.

When do you inject somatropin?

Since insulin performs its most important function shortly after a meal, it is important that HGH injections be taken several hours after the last meal of the day. By injecting the hormone shortly before sleep, the body is able to maximize the effects using the natural cycle.

What do Somatomedins do?

Somatomedins are a group of proteins that promote cell growth and division in response to stimulation by growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin (STH). In addition to their actions that stimulate growth, somatomedins also stimulate production of somatostatin, which suppresses growth hormone release.

Does HGH damage your liver?

HGH prompts the liver and other organs to make IGF-1, which affects many tissues and organs in the body. Studies usually measure IGF-1 rather than growth hormone directly because IGF-1 levels remain more constant.

What does somatropin treat?
