    Human growth hormone (HGH) is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior part of the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. This hormone plays a crucial role in growth, body composition, cell repair, and metabolism. It also helps in muscle growth, strength, and exercise performance, while helping individuals recover from injuries and diseases. It's also known to speed up the body's healing process and assist in weight loss. Deficiency or excess of this hormone can lead to health problems.
