What
is Humatrope?
Humatrope is one of a
number of brands of Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone Injection.
Humatrope is synthesized and marketed by the pharmaceutical giant Eli
Lilly and Company. Like all other forms of HGH Hormone Replacement
Therapy, Humatrope is biologically and functionally identical to
Human Growth Hormone that is secreted normally by the pituitary
gland. Although Humatrope is organically the same as Endogenous Human
Growth Hormone, the two hormones are derived in very different
fashions.
Humatrope, and other forms
of Pharmaceutical HGH are created using a strategy of biosynthesis
which is known as Recombinant DNA Technology. Humatrope is created by
altering the DNA sequence of a particular type of E.Coli, causing the
bacteria to produce Human Growth Hormone that can be extracted and
utilized medically for human use.
Although there are now a
number of other forms of Bio-Identical HGH, including Nutropin,
Genotropin, and Tev Tropin, Humatrope represented the first time that
Scientifically Synthesized HGH was successfully created, trademarked,
and utilized for medical treatment.
Humatrope Uses
To this date, Humatrope
HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy is indicated for three purposes in
the United States, although in the future, it is likely that new uses
and treatment strategies will be approved. Humatrope HRT is
FDA-Approved for the following uses:
Treatment of
pediatric patients with Idiopathic Short Stature
Treatment of
Childhood- or Adult-Onset Human Growth Hormone Deficiency
To increase lean
muscle mass and decrease body fat in HIV-Positive patients suffering
from HIV-Related Muscle Wasting (also known as Cachexia)
Combination
Hormone Replacement Therapy
For adult patients that
suffer from hypopituitarism in addition to simply HGH Deficiency, a
number of other Hormone Replacement Therapy Options may also be
required to restore Total Hormone Optimization, including:
Testosterone
Male patients often suffer from Testosterone Deficiency (also known
as Low-T), in addition to Growth Hormone Deficiency. The two medical
conditions share a number of symptoms with one another, as both
Testosterone and HGH are intricately related to human metabolism.
Estrogen Female
patients taking Humatrope HGH Injections often suffer from flagging
Estrogen Levels as well, especially as they become older, approaching
Menopause. Estrogen Replacement Therapy is often used to alleviate
the symptoms of Menopause in women in their forties and fifties, but
it can also be used to restore normal hormone balance in younger
women.
Levothyroxine This
hormone is a synthetic form of Thyroid Hormone, often abbreviated
simply as T4. For patients that suffer from
Human Growth Hormone Deficiency as a result of a total insufficiency
of the Pituitary Gland, Thyroid function can also be significantly
affected, requiring Hormone Therapy to restore normal Thyroid
Function.
Hydrocortisone For
patients with Hypopituitarism, the use of HGH Hormone Replacement
Therapy can have a negative effect upon natural Hydrocortisone
Production. This can easily be remedied by combining Hydrocortisone
Therapy with Growth Hormone Injections in certain patients.
Desmopressin
Some patients that utilize HGH Injections for Hypopituitarism may
also need to take Anti-Diuretic Hormones as well, although this won't
be needed for patients that simply suffer from a Deficiency of HGH
alone.
Understanding
Human Growth Hormone Deficiency and How Humatrope Can Help
This article was written

role of Humatrope Bio-Identical HGH in resolving that deficiency. If
you feel that you may be a candidate for HGH Hormone Replacement
Therapy, or you simply have questions regarding HGH Deficiency or any
other Hormone Deficiency, we encourage you to contact the Conscious
Evolution Institute for more Information.
Is injection the only
method available for Humatrope Administration? Why not simply a pill,
spray, or cream?
Humatrope HGH is an
incredibly complex protein. Human Growth Hormone is actually the
largest protein created by the human body. Because of this, the only
suitable means to utilize Humatrope is via injection. Pills are
ineffective, because the stomach is designed to break down proteins
and render them into more basic parts for digestion. HGH is a very
delicate molecule, and the acids in the stomach render it into its
component proteins and cause it to be ineffective at efficiently
increasing Human Growth Hormone Levels.
Humatrope is unsuitable as
a cream or spray because of the size of the molecule. The membranes
of the skin and the nasal cavity are too small, and prevent HGH from
passing the barrier into the blood stream. Although in the future,
perhaps other methods will become available, today, the only way to
effectively use Humatrope is via Subcutaneous Injection.
When should I Inject
Humatrope in order to achieve the maximum benefit?
The body naturally
produces HGH at its highest levels while we are in the deepest phases
of sleep. As a result of this, most physicians recommend that their
patients inject Humatrope before they go to sleep, in order to most
clearly mimic the natural hormone production of the human body. This
is not a rule which is set in stone, however, and certain patients
may benefit from injections during other periods of the day. Human
Growth Hormone is also produced in significant amounts during
physical activity, and some physicians permit their patients to
inject before engaging in their exercise routine in order to increase
the benefits associated with HGH and Exercise.
For patients that can
stomach taking multiple injections per day, most physicians permit
patients to inject twice a day, in lower increments, in order to
provide Human Growth Hormone to the body throughout the day. This
method is also recommended for patients that experience mild
side-effects as a result of treatment. Titrating the dose across the
day completely eradicates side effects in most patients.
What should I do if I
accidentally skip a dose of Humatrope?
If for whatever reason you
are unable to or forget to administer an injection, just continue on
as if you had not missed the shot. There is no reason to double your
dosage upon the next injection, and this can actually increase the
risk of certain side-effects associated with injection-site
irritation and other minor issues.
If you only miss doses on
rare occasions, it should have only a negligible effect upon your
treatment, but if you miss doses often, you should talk to your
doctor, because this can drastically reduce the benefits of Humatrope
Hormone Replacement Therapy.
How should Humatrope be
stored?
Because Humatrope is a
very fragile and sensitive hormone, it is important to properly store
the medication in order to preserve its functionality. Always store
cartridges and vials of Lyophilized Humatrope Injection Therapy in
the refrigerator in order to retain the potency of the medication.
Diluents should also be refrigerated as well. Under normal
temperatures, the HGH Molecule degrades very quickly.
Also, Humatrope should be
stored in a position which limits agitation, because agitation can
also cause the break down the HGH Molecule. Never freeze Humatrope,
because this severely restricts the potency of the medication. Do not
reconstitute dried Humatrope until you are ready to inject the
treatment. After reconstitution, the effective life of the treatment
degrades at a faster rate.
How should I store
Humatrope for travel?
If you must travel with
your HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy, it is important to maintain
optimal refrigeration. Store your Humatrope in an insulated bag or
small cooler, lined with cooling packs. Make sure that you do not
freeze the Humatrope for reasons mentioned above. If you are in a
car, store the pack somewhere safe and secure.
If you are boarding an
airplane, keep the Humatrope with you at all times. If you check the
bag containing the Humatrope, it may be either subjected to extreme
temperature differentiation which damages the medication, or it may
be mishandled which can render Humatrope inert.
When should I start to
feel the effects of Humatrope HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy?
All patients are
different, and all will respond to HGH Injections in a unique way.
Patients claim that certain physiological effects occur early in
treatment, such as changes in mood or energy level. Actual physical
changes in body mass and muscle tone may take up to six months before
significant alterations occur. It is important to stick with therapy,
even if you don't see results immediately.
Many of the benefits of
HGH Injections require a bit of patience to achieve. Many doctors
(like those at the Conscious Evolution Institute) combine Human
Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy with Comprehensive Diet, Exercise,
and Nutrition plans in order to speed up the rate at which these
benefits and positive changes take place.
Why haven't my doctors
recommended HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy before?
Until recently, HGH
Injections were primarily only utilized in adolescent patients. As
the years have passed and our knowledge of the benefits of Human
Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy have become more robust, it has
become more clear that there are many adults that can benefit from
Humatrope Hormone Replacement Therapy.
In addition to this, the
availability of Human Growth Hormone has risen dramatically as a
result of the proliferation of Bio-Identical HGH as well as new
techniques that make Bio-Identical Growth Hormone synthesis simpler
and more cost-effective. Because of these changes, HGH Hormone
Replacement Therapy is widely available for all patients that qualify
for treatment.
