Drugs aimed at increasing human growth are widely used in sports practice and therapy. However, they guarantee a positive result only if used correctly.
Today, two analogues of the natural growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland are produced. We are talking about recombinant somatropin - this is a medicine for growth with the same number of amino acids - 191, as well as a synthetic somatrem, which in the structural formula has 192 amino acids.
What functions does the pituitary gland perform?
The pituitary gland is responsible for the synthesis of growth hormone - somatotropin, which is necessary for full-fledged life activity. Its functioning is cyclical in nature.
The highest concentration of growth hormone is observed in the developing fetus. Then it reaches maximum values in babies up to a year and adolescents when intensive growth occurs. The pituitary gland reduces the supply of growth hormone by approximately 20 years of life. Then there is a gradual decrease in its amount by about 10-15% every 10 years.
Somatropin takes part in protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, without it normal growth of bones and the development of tissues and fibers are impossible. However, the pituitary gland does not constantly synthesize growth hormone throughout the day. The highest intensity is observed 2 hours after falling asleep. Therefore, it is so important not to disrupt the daily routine. The concentration of somatropin increases in another case - during exercise. Then the pituitary gland begins to work hard.
Of all the synthetic growth hormones, recombinant somatropin has gained great popularity. It has become the main active component of most drugs, whose action is aimed at increasing growth.
The action of drugs for human growth
Effective drugs that are purposefully used for human growth have the following characteristics:
- they quickly stimulate the growth of bones, muscles, increase muscle mass;

How to increase growth? There are many drugs on the market. When choosing a drug aimed at increasing growth, one must proceed from the following parameters:

What do you need to do before you begin
How to increase growth, grow? It is not difficult to get the medicine, but in no case can you decide on the admission yourself. This should be done exclusively by an endocrinologist.
Before prescribing any drug, he suggests passing the following tests:

- tumor markers.
Such studies a person needs to go through not only at the beginning of the course of therapy. Analyzes will need to be passed after completing the medication for human growth.
