Summary

Recombinant human growth hormone (HGH) activates GH receptors to drive IGF-1 production, linear growth, lipolysis, and protein synthesis. It is approved for childhood and adult GH deficiency and several other indications, with well-characterized benefits and risks. Non-medical use for performance or body composition carries significant safety and regulatory concerns.
