01The basics
What this HGH is
Human growth hormone (HGH), or somatropin, is the hormone your pituitary gland makes to drive growth in children and to regulate muscle, fat, bone and metabolism in adults. Each box contains 100 IU: 10 vials of 10 IU freeze-dried powder, plus bacteriostatic water for mixing.
Doctors prescribe somatropin for growth hormone deficiency. It’s also widely used for fat loss, body composition and recovery, where the evidence is thinner. HGH is slow-acting and easy to dose wrong, so this page walks through the mixing math, the side effects and the bloodwork that keeps it on track.

03How it works
How it works
HGH works directly on fat cells and indirectly through IGF-1, a growth factor your liver makes in response to it. Together they:
- Release stored fat to be burned for energy
- Support protein building in muscle, tendons and other connective tissue
- Raise blood sugar by making cells less responsive to insulin
Injected HGH has a short half-life, about 3–4 hours, but IGF-1 stays raised much longer, so once-daily injections are standard. Changes in body composition build slowly, usually over months rather than weeks.
04Half-life
Half-life, in plain numbers
A half-life of about 3-4 hours means half of what is in the body is gone after that time, then half of the rest, and so on. For an injected peptide it reflects how quickly the body breaks the chain down and clears it.
- One half-life
- 3.5 h
- About 97% gone
- 17.5 h
- Levels level out with regular use after
- 14 h–17.5 h
A textbook model built from the half-life alone. Real numbers vary from person to person.
05Clinical reference
Dosing information
Clinical reference. For adults with growth hormone deficiency, Endocrine Society guidelines suggest starting at 0.2–0.4 mg a day (about 0.6–1.2 IU) for people under 60, and 0.1–0.2 mg a day for older adults, then adjusting every 1–2 months based on IGF-1 and side effects. 1 mg of somatropin equals about 3 IU.
Talk to a doctor before use, and get bloodwork before and during.
Mixing math. Adding 1 ml of bacteriostatic water to a 10 IU vial gives 10 IU per ml. On a U-100 insulin syringe:
- 1 IU = 0.1 ml = 10 units
- 2 IU = 0.2 ml = 20 units
- 5 IU = 0.5 ml = 50 units
One 100 IU box lasts 100 days at 1 IU a day, or 50 days at 2 IU.
06Mixing
Mixing and storage
- Wipe both vial tops with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 1 ml of bacteriostatic water and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the HGH vial. The vacuum can pull the water in fast, so hold the plunger and let it in gradually.
- Don’t shake the vial. Roll it gently between your hands until the solution is clear. If it stays cloudy or has particles, don’t use it.
- Mix only one vial at a time.
- Store unmixed vials in the fridge (2–8 °C), away from light.
- Keep the mixed vial in the fridge too, and never freeze it.
- Inject under the skin of your belly or thigh, and rotate sites.

08Injection sites
Where it is injected
Human Growth Hormone comes as freeze-dried powder with water to mix it. Somatropin is labelled for injection under the skin, the same sites as insulin.
1Belly (abdomen)Fat under the skin of the bellySubQ
- Pick a spot at least 5 cm (two finger-widths) from the belly button.
- Avoid scars, stretch marks, bruises and the waistband.
- Pinch up a fold of skin and inject into the fold.
Why it is used. The most fat to work with, easy to see, and the steadiest absorption. Weekly pen medicines list it first.
Careful. Move each injection at least 2–3 cm from the last to avoid firm fatty lumps (lipohypertrophy).

2Front of thighFat under the skin of the thighSubQ
- Sit and look down at the front of your thigh.
- Use the middle band: a hand-width below the hip crease and a hand-width above the knee.
- Pinch the skin and inject into the fold.
Why it is used. Easy to reach while seated, and a handy second area to rotate with the belly.
Careful. It can absorb a little more slowly than the belly; hard leg training straight afterwards can speed it up.

3Back of upper armFat over the tricepsSubQ
- Find the soft, fleshy area at the back of the upper arm.
- Stay halfway between the shoulder and the elbow.
- Pinch the skin and inject into the fold.
Why it is used. A third area to rotate through, so every spot gets a longer rest.
Careful. Hard to pinch and reach with one hand; most people need a helper.

Route for Human Growth HormoneUnder the skin (subQ)
- Start with the bellyIt has the most fat and the steadiest absorption, and you can see what you are doing. The thigh and arm are there to rotate into.
- Short needle, small volumeAround 1 ml or less per spot. A 4–13 mm insulin needle reaches the fat without touching muscle; pinch up the skin if you are lean.
- New spot every timeShift 2–3 cm from the last injection. Reusing one spot causes firm lumps that absorb unevenly.
- Wash your hands
- Alcohol on the stopper and skin, let it dry
- New sterile needle and syringe every time
- Never share any of it
- Sharps into a puncture-proof container

09Risks
Side effects and risks
Most side effects come from doses that are too high, and many ease when the dose comes down.
Fluid retention
Puffy hands, feet and face are the most common side effect, especially in the first weeks or after a dose increase.
Joint pain and numbness
Aching joints and carpal tunnel symptoms: tingling, numbness or weakness in the hands. Both are signs the dose is too high.
Blood sugar
HGH causes insulin resistance. Over time, high doses can raise blood sugar into the prediabetes or type 2 diabetes range, so test fasting glucose and A1C.
Headaches and vision
Rarely, HGH raises pressure inside the skull. A severe or persistent headache, nausea or changes in vision mean stop and see a doctor.
Long-term high doses
Years of excess growth hormone can cause acromegaly-like changes: a growing jaw, hands and feet, and enlarged organs, including the heart. These don’t fully reverse.
Don’t use it if you
Have active cancer or a history of it (GH and IGF-1 can feed tumour growth), diabetic eye disease, are recovering from major surgery or a critical illness, are pregnant, or are under 18 without a specialist’s care.
10Interactions
Interactions
Medicines and substances that change how this product behaves, or that it changes. Show this list to your pharmacist along with everything else you take.
- CautionInsulin and diabetes medicines
Growth hormone raises blood sugar and lowers insulin sensitivity, so diabetes treatment may need adjusting.
- CautionPrednisone, hydrocortisone and other corticosteroids
They blunt growth hormone’s effects, and growth hormone can change how much cortisol replacement a person needs.
- CautionOral estrogen (birth control pills, HRT)
Taken by mouth, estrogen makes the liver less responsive to growth hormone.
- Good to knowThyroid
Growth hormone can reveal an underactive thyroid that wasn’t showing before; thyroid levels are worth checking.
11Bloodwork
Bloodwork checklist
Get tested before you start, 4–6 weeks in, then every 3–6 months. IGF-1 is the number doctors use to judge whether a dose is right.
- IGF-1, the main guide to dose
- Blood sugar: fasting glucose and A1C
- Thyroid: TSH and free T4 (HGH can lower thyroid hormone)
- Lipid panel: HDL, LDL, triglycerides
- At home: blood pressure and weight

14Questions
Common questions
Is HGH a steroid?
No. HGH is a peptide hormone, not an anabolic steroid. It doesn’t shut down your testosterone, but it has its own risks, mainly fluid retention, joint pain and higher blood sugar.
When is the best time to inject HGH?
Most people inject once a day, often in the evening, to mirror the body’s natural night-time release. Consistency matters more than the exact time.
How long until I see results?
Some people notice better sleep and recovery within a few weeks. Changes in body fat and lean mass usually take 3–6 months.
What’s in the box?
10 vials of 10 IU somatropin (100 IU in total) and bacteriostatic water for mixing, 1 ml per vial.
How fast is shipping in Canada?
Orders ship by Canada Post Xpresspost, with tracking within 72 hours of payment, with tracking.
Is HGH legal in Canada?
Somatropin is a prescription drug in Canada, regulated under the Food and Drugs Act. Unlike anabolic steroids, it isn’t listed under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. It’s banned in tested sport.
How is my order packaged?
In a plain, unbranded box with no product names on the outside.
