HGH 10 IU

About HGH

Somatropin acts on receptors on many cell types, including cartilage, bone, muscle, liver and fat cells.¹² Some, but not all, of its effects run through IGF-1, which the liver and other tissues make in response.¹²² Licensed recombinant somatropin, such as Genotropin, has the same amino acid sequence as growth hormone from the pituitary.¹

This page lists HGH for sale as a 10 IU research vial in the growth hormone peptides range. The HGH price is $35 per vial. When you buy HGH online here, you receive the freeze-dried powder only; diluent and lab supplies are sold separately.

In diagnosed growth hormone deficiency, the Genotropin label reports less body fat and more lean mass, and a 2011 Endocrine Society guideline calls treatment risks low.¹¹³ In healthy adults, two systematic reviews of randomized trials found about 2 kg more lean mass but more side effects.¹⁴¹⁵ Read What is HGH? for the full picture before you buy HGH for a study.

Research highlights

• Adults with diagnosed deficiency (label, six randomized trials, 172 adults): lean body mass rose and body fat and waist size fell after 6 months, compared with placebo.¹
• Healthy older adults (2007 systematic review, 220 people given GH, mean age 69): fat mass fell 2.1 kg and lean mass rose 2.1 kg, with no significant change in body weight.¹⁴
• Healthy young adults (2008 systematic review, 303 fit people given GH, mean age 27): lean mass rose 2.1 kg, but strength and exercise capacity did not clearly improve.¹⁵
• Recreational athletes (randomized placebo-controlled trial, 96 adults, 8 weeks): sprint capacity rose 3.9%, other performance measures did not change significantly, and the gain was not maintained 6 weeks after stopping.¹⁶
• Critically ill adults (two randomized trials, 532 patients, 1999): in-hospital death rates were 39% versus 20% and 44% versus 18% with high-dose GH versus placebo.¹⁷
• Large burns (2014 Cochrane review, 13 small trials, 701 people): in two trials, adult burn wounds healed about 9 days sooner, but high blood sugar was more common in adults (risk ratio 2.43).¹⁸

Regulatory status

Somatropin has been FDA approved since 1987 and is sold on prescription under brands including Genotropin, Norditropin, Omnitrope and Serostim.¹¹⁹ Approved uses include growth failure in children, adult growth hormone deficiency, HIV wasting and short bowel syndrome, and a prescriber sets and adjusts each dose.¹¹⁹ FDA has not approved it for anti-aging.¹⁴

Under 21 U.S.C. 333(e), knowingly distributing HGH for any human use other than HHS-authorized, physician-ordered treatment of a disease or recognized medical condition carries up to 5 years in prison, or 10 if a minor is involved.¹¹ In an August 2026 warning letter to an online peptide seller, FDA said "research use only" labels did not stop it from finding products were meant for human use; that letter did not name HGH.²⁰ WADA bans growth hormone at all times (2026 list, class S2.2.3).²¹ Every vial is labeled: For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Handling and storage

Licensed somatropin labels describe gentle mixing: run the diluent down the side of the vial to prevent foaming, then swirl until the powder dissolves.¹⁰ Shaking clouds the solution and, per the Genotropin label, may denature the protein; that label says to use the solution only if it is clear and colorless.¹⁰¹ Mixed licensed products keep 14 to 28 days refrigerated, depending on product and diluent.¹⁰¹ The reconstitution guide covers the lab steps, the reconstitution calculator does the concentration math, and How to store peptides covers storage.
