Global Human Growth Hormone Drugs Market to Reach $4 Billion by 2026

The human growth hormone, which is also known as somatropin, is a peptide hormone that is secreted by pituitary gland, which regulates cell regeneration, cell growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The level of growth hormones should be optimum in human body for normal growth. It can be regulated by several factors such as sleep, stress, exercise, and lower levels of glucose. Human growth hormones help to control body composition, bone and muscle growth, sugar and fat metabolism, recovery from injuries, and body fluids. They also help in boosting muscle strength and performance. Improper levels of growth hormones may affect the quality of life, intensifying the risks of health disorders such as high levels of cholesterol, decreased bone density, and deficiency in growth hormones. While lower levels of the growth hormones result in fat accumulation in the human body, higher levels result in gigantism in children and short bowel syndrome and muscle-wasting disease in adults. With growing age, the human growth hormone levels decrease. This natural process of slowing down of the growth hormone production in human body has raised the interest in synthetic hormone therapies globally.
