Human Growth Hormone (HGH) injections were initially created for children whose growth was stunted because of the small amount of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. The only source for the hormone was to extract it from the pituitary gland of human cadavers. Each gland only contributed a few drops and so to obtain enough for just a single injection was very time consuming, and also very expensive (http://www.hmedicine.com/news/guide/hgh.php). At the time, many recipients of this medication were contaminated with human pathogens which caused the Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, a brain disorder that modifies the Mad Cow Disease. Eventually, research and development has now improved and the injections still increase growth by secreting an adequate amount of growth hormone but without many side effects. How does Human Growth Hormone work in children? The human growth hormone has two cycles which are direct cycle and indirect cycle. The direct cycle are the result of human growth hor
