Listing ID #7248636

Human growth hormone (HGH) is a natural hormone your pituitary gland releases that promotes growth in children, helps maintain normal body structure in adults and plays a role in metabolism in both children and adults.

Human growth hormone has two main functions: stimulating growth (mainly in children) and impacting metabolism (how your body turns the food you eat into energy).

In general, the normal range for HGH levels include:

For adults assigned male at birth: 0.4 to 10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), or 18 to 44 picomoles per liter (pmol/L).

For adults assigned female at birth: 1 to 14 ng/mL, or 44 to 616 pmol/L

For children: 10 to 50 ng/mL, or 440 to 2200 pmol/L

HGH deficiency in adults

When adults have a lack of HGH, it causes the following issues:

Reduced sense of well-being.

Increased body fat.

Increased risk of heart disease.

Weak heart, muscles and bones.

A lack of HGH in children results in poor growth. The main sign of HGH deficiency in children is slow height growth each year after a child’s third birthday. This means they grow less than about 1.4 inches in height a year. A child with HGH deficiency may also have:

A younger-looking face than what’s expected for their age.

Impaired hair growth.

Delayed puberty.
