Overview
Somatropin is recombinant human growth hormone: a 191-amino-acid protein identical to the hormone made by the pituitary. It arrives as a freeze-dried powder that is mixed with bacteriostatic water before use.
This listing is Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Therapy (100 IU), photographed as we ship it and priced in Canadian dollars.
How it works
Growth hormone binds receptors in the liver and other tissues, raising IGF-1, which drives tissue growth, protein synthesis and the breakdown of fat for energy. It also reduces insulin sensitivity, so blood sugar can rise.
Clinical reference
For adult growth-hormone deficiency, Canadian monographs start at roughly 0.15 to 0.3 mg a day (about 0.45 to 0.9 IU) by subcutaneous injection, increased gradually by IGF-1 results. One milligram equals about three international units.

Measuring calculator
Type the amount from your prescription or clinician; the calculator only converts it. It does not suggest how much to take.
Vial contains 100 IU. U-100 insulin syringes have 100 units per ml.
Combinations and interactions
- Doctors titrate it against IGF-1 blood levels rather than a fixed dose.
- Can raise blood sugar; insulin and diabetes medicines may need adjusting.
- Glucocorticoids blunt its effect; thyroid hormone needs can change once GH treatment starts.
Risks and side effects
- Fluid and joints. Swelling in hands and feet, joint stiffness and carpal tunnel symptoms.
- Blood sugar. Insulin resistance and higher fasting glucose.
- Tissue growth. Long-term excess can enlarge organs and bones.
- Contamination risk. Mix with sterile technique; never use a cloudy or discoloured solution.
Do not use it if you have active cancer, diabetic eye disease, are critically ill, pregnant, or have closed growth plates with no medical indication.
Bloodwork to discuss with your doctor
- IGF-1
- Fasting glucose and HbA1c
- Thyroid panel (TSH, free T4)
- Lipid panel
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Therapy is a freeze-dried powder. After it is mixed with bacteriostatic water it is normally injected under the skin with a short insulin needle. These are the three standard subcutaneous areas; rotate between them. Finding it. Anywhere on the belly at least 5 cm from the navel, away from scars and the waistband. Pinch a fold and inject into it. Why it is used. The most fat, steady absorption and easy to see. Watch for. Move each injection a few centimetres from the last to prevent lumps. Nursing reference volume: Up to about 1 ml Finding it. The middle of the front of the thigh, a hand-width below the hip and above the knee. Why it is used. Easy to reach and a good rotation partner for the belly. Watch for. Absorption can be a little slower than the abdomen. Nursing reference volume: Up to about 1 ml Finding it. Halfway between shoulder and elbow on the back of the arm. Why it is used. Adds a third area to rotate through. Watch for. Hard to reach on yourself; a helper is useful. Nursing reference volume: Up to about 1 ml Every time: wash your hands, swab the stopper and skin with alcohol, use a new sterile needle and syringe and never share. See a doctor for spreading redness, heat, swelling, fever or numbness. This is general reference information from standard injection guidance, not medical advice.
