What is Somatropin (HGH)?

Somatropin is recombinant human growth hormone — a 191-amino-acid protein identical to the body's own GH. Supplied for research as a pre-filled multi-dose pen dialled in international units (IU) rather than milligrams.

It is studied in growth-hormone-axis, recovery and body-composition research. Research outcomes vary with dose and duration; it is supplied for laboratory research only.

Reported side effects

  • Fluid retention and joint or muscle aches — the most commonly reported effects, usually dose-dependent.
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands (carpal-tunnel-like), easing at lower doses.
  • Changes in glucose handling reported in the research literature.

How to dose Somatropin (HGH)

Dosed daily and titrated up slowly from a low start — a common research ramp is 1–2 IU daily building toward up to 4 IU. The pen is dialled in IU; no measuring or mixing.
