GH (Growth Hormone)

Growth hormone (GH) is a protein produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. It plays a crucial role in stimulating growth, cell repair, and metabolism throughout the body. GH promotes the growth of bones, muscles, and tissues, especially during childhood and adolescence, but it also supports tissue maintenance and health in adults. It regulates how the body uses nutrients and can influence energy levels and body composition. Proper GH levels are essential for normal development, and imbalances can lead to growth disorders or health issues.
