FDA-Approved Ingredient
Commonly chosen for: Diagnosed growth hormone deficiency
What it is
This is actual human growth hormone, not something that asks your body to make more of its own. It's FDA-approved for diagnosed growth hormone deficiency. It supports lean muscle, bone density, recovery and metabolism. Because it replaces rather than stimulates, it requires closer supervision than the peptide options above.
How it works
This is actual human growth hormone, not something that asks your body to make more of its own.
Supplied hormone acts on tissues throughout the body — supporting lean muscle, bone density, recovery and metabolism — and triggers IGF-1 production in the liver.
Because it replaces rather than stimulates, your own release is suppressed while you use it, and supervision is closer than with the peptide options.
Who it's typically for
- People with a diagnosed growth hormone deficiency.
- People whose provider has determined replacement is appropriate after testing.
- People prepared for ongoing monitoring and follow-up.

This page is educational and is not medical advice. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Where you see the FDA-Approved Ingredient mark, the active ingredient is FDA-approved in at least one prescription medication. Products without it are prescribed based on your provider's clinical judgment and current research. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved products in either case.
