How Many Types of HGH are There?

Written by Sara Johnson - February 11, 2023

HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is a naturally-occurring hormone in the human body. It is responsible for growth, development and metabolism, and is an important part of overall health. As such, it is sometimes necessary to supplement with HGH for those with deficiencies. But how many types of HGH are there?

There are actually a few different types of HGH available to be supplemented:

  • Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rHGH): This version of the hormone is made synthetically, using recombinant DNA technology. It has been approved by the FDA since 1985 and is considered safe and effective when administered under the supervision of a doctor.
  • Sermorelin Acetate: This synthetic chain peptide comprises 29 amino acids that act as a natural stimulant to your pituitary gland, causing it to release more natural HGH into your body. While not technically a form of HGH itself, this peptide can provide results similar to those seen with rHGH supplementation.
  • Human Growth Factor (HGF): Also known as "natural" or "bioidentical" hormones, these substances contain exact copies of the traceable hormones found in humans at various stages in their lifespan. They're typically used for long-term treatments or as alternatives to pharmaceuticals. They must be compounded from raw materials by accredited laboratories under strict quality control processes to ensure safety and efficacy.

When deciding which type of HGH treatment best suits your needs it's important to seek professional advice from experienced medical providers who can assess your individual situation and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to you. Additionally, always verify that the provider and their products have been properly licensed by their local governing board before proceeding with any kind of treatment program.
