BioHack Track models HGH (Somatropin) at a half-life of 3 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows estimated active levels — not just what you typed.
An FDA-approved product containing this compound exists, and its label is linked under Primary sources below. That label is the authority on dosing; the range on this page describes what people commonly track, including off-label use, and does not replace it.
Reconstitute with provided diluent or bacteriostatic water; swirl gently, don't shake.
Refrigerate; protect from light. Some pens stable briefly at room temp per label.
Prescription medication requiring diagnosis and monitoring (IGF-1, glucose, thyroid). Non-prescribed use carries risks including insulin resistance, joint/soft-tissue swelling, and unknown long-term effects at performance doses.
Track HGH (Somatropin) in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
These open a search of each database for HGH (Somatropin) — they are not citations, and nothing here is evidence for any particular dose. The same links are in the app.
Primary sources for HGH (Somatropin)
The half-life, route and dose range on this page are compiled from published pharmacokinetic literature, manufacturer and product monographs where one exists, and the ranges commonly reported in clinical and research use. They are kept as a range rather than a single figure because that is what the sources actually support — a half-life varies with route, formulation and the person.
These are not citations, and this page is not a review of the evidence. Where a number matters to you, follow the database links above and read the source. We say so plainly rather than dressing a compiled reference up as one.
Nothing on this page has been reviewed by a named clinician. It is a reference for people already tracking a protocol, not a recommendation to start one.
General reference compiled for use inside the app, not medical advice and not a recommendation to take anything. Dose ranges are what is commonly discussed, not a prescription. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
