Human growth hormone is a protein hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans. It plays a crucial role in childhood growth and continues to regulate body composition, muscle and bone growth, and metabolism in adults.

The rise of telemedicine and online pharmacies in the U.S. is making it easier for patients to access and manage hGH treatments. Virtual consultations help speed up diagnosis and prescription processes, especially in remote or underserved areas. Online pharmacies offer convenient, discreet delivery of hGH products, improving patient adherence and reducing drop-offs. This digital transformation was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and is now a lasting trend in U.S. healthcare. These channels are becoming a major driver of growth in the U.S. hGH demand with regulatory support and growing consumer trust in e-health platforms, thereby fueling the industry growth.

The U.S. hGH market is seeing growing demand among adults with hormone deficiencies. Conditions like adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD), age-related hormone decline, and muscle-wasting disorders are now more commonly treated with hGH. Increased awareness, greater diagnostic accuracy, and expanding clinical guidelines are all contributing to this shift. Many adults are seeking hGH therapy to improve energy, bone health, and physical performance. More endocrinologists are specializing in adult hormone therapy and insurance providers are broadening coverage further fueling the demand for human growth hormone, thereby driving the market growth.
