Somatropin "I'm 70 and seemingly in excellent health. No pains or problems with anything. I work on my estate daily and have better energy than my younger workers by far. Before I started taking human growth hormone (HGH), I found that my skin was growing very thin and becoming a slight pinkish-blue. Now this is completely resolved. I go to a life extension doctor who, after testing, found that my hormones, like all older persons', were low, so I'm now supplementing with HGH, pregnenolone, DHEA, and testosterone (transdermal). I highly recommend it to my friends and acquaintances and to you to have your blood tested."

Somatropin "This works quite well for me. I don't know if anyone else uses it or had adult-onset growth hormone deficiency and also developed this condition from Gulf War Syndrome. When I started taking the Humatrope, my bone density went from a -4 to a -2.3 and hopefully is still going up. My focus and concentration improved and my irritability and my energy level went way up! I have been using it for about 5 years now and didn't know I had it until my urologist started listing reasons for severe osteoporosis and it turns out that I had adult-onset growth hormone deficiency. Good luck to all. Hopefully, stem cell technology can be used to help cure/fix us!"

"I was skeptical at first, but after taking this product for 60 days, I have to say I'm amazed at the results! I've definitely seen a decrease in fat that was near impossible to get rid of and have become much more cut. I slept better, felt better, and just felt younger again. I'm 38 and was starting to feel 'old.' I'm definitely a fan! This stuff actually works. I feel stronger, have more energy, and have started to lose weight. It takes about a couple of weeks to make a noticeable difference, but you will notice it once you start to pay attention to what is going on. Great products! Admin, is it okay to add other HGH pills in my body? I just bought a product for my brother because he's 42 years old, and I want to try it to my."

"I am only a week into GH (growth hormone) therapy, taking 0.75 IU/day. My energy has increased somewhat, and I have noticed an improvement in cognitive functioning. However, I can’t sleep. On Thursday night - 2 hrs, Friday - 2.5 hrs, Saturday - 1 hr nap, 2.5 hrs, and Sunday (last night) - 2.5 hrs. I have been taking injections in the morning. This morning, I only took 1/3 of my injection and am going to take the other 2/3 tonight so that I can try taking it before bed. Hopefully, I will see some improvements."

Somatropin "This medicine works great. My problem is the price! I qualified for the Humatrope card that helps with the 28-day cost. I have insurance, and the cost is VERY HIGH! My part after insurance is almost $200 every 28 days. I am allowed $2,400 for 24 months. I ran out of that benefit amount in October. I had to pay $200 every 28 days for the remainder of 2019. Now that it is January 2020, they said I only have 10 more months of assistance."

Somatropin "Works great, with the right dose, feel normal. Without rubbish. Injections are easy to use (miniquicks). Need to vary injection sites to avoid carpal symptoms, etc."

Somatropin "Norditropin FlexPro Pen is very easy to use, just not easy to get the insurance company to approve or find a doctor that knows how to handle patients with this condition."

"Only have been on this for two weeks. Don’t feel any different yet. However, very easy to use and dose. Tomorrow, I move to 0.3 daily, so I hope to start feeling better."

Somatropin "A very large meningioma next to my pituitary gland damaged the pituitary and lessened the production of several hormones, including growth hormone. This is a rare disorder, and I had difficulty finding an endocrinologist who could diagnose the problem, much less know how to treat it, but was finally successful in finding a doctor who diagnosed my problem and prescribed Omnitrope for me. After taking the medicine for four days, my strength improved considerably. That was three years ago, and I continue to use the medicine. I am confident it saved my life."
