Evo-Trope – Somatropin

What is Evo-Trope (Somatropin)?

Evo-Trope is a lab-made version of human growth hormone (HGH), called somatropin. It is made using recombinant DNA technology, a lab method for building proteins.

Its chain of 191 amino acids matches the body’s own growth hormone exactly. It comes as a freeze-dried powder, also called lyophilized powder, that you mix with liquid before use.

What researchers study it for

• IGF-1 production. Labs study how it signals the liver to make insulin-like growth factor 1, or IGF-1, a protein tied to cell growth.
• Muscle tissue. Studies look at its effect on protein building in muscle cells.
• Fat cells. Researchers study how it affects the breakdown of fat, called lipolysis.
• Tissue repair. Studies look at its effect on connective tissue in lab models.

What you get

10 vials of white powder. Each vial has 10 IU, for a total of 100 IU. You mix each vial with liquid before use.

How to store it

Keep the sealed vials in a fridge, away from light. After mixing with liquid, keep it cold and use it within a few weeks.
