What is HGH and what does it do?
Human Growth Hormone (HGH), or somatropin, is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a key role in growth, metabolism, muscle development, and tissue repair. As we age, natural HGH levels decline, which can lead to fatigue, weight gain, muscle loss, and other unwanted symptoms.
What is Norditropin® FlexPro?
Norditropin® is a prescription form of synthetic HGH developed by Novo Nordisk. The FlexPro pen offers a convenient, painless injection method with pre-measured doses. It is FDA-approved for both children and adults with diagnosed growth hormone deficiencies.
Who is Norditropin® for?
Norditropin is prescribed for:
- Children with growth disorders (e.g., short stature, Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome).
- Adults with Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD), often caused by pituitary damage, genetics, or natural decline with age.
Can women use Norditropin?
Yes. Many women with HGH deficiency benefit from Norditropin therapy. It can improve energy, metabolism, skin texture, mood, and help with age-related hormonal decline. Treatment is adjusted to meet female-specific hormonal needs.
Can men use Norditropin?
Absolutely. Norditropin is commonly used by men experiencing symptoms of low HGH such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass, belly fat, poor sleep, or low libido. When properly prescribed, it can significantly improve quality of life.
Is Norditropin used for anti-aging?
While not officially approved as an “anti-aging” treatment, many adults use HGH therapy to address signs of aging such as reduced vitality, poor recovery, sagging skin, and brain fog. Clinical evidence supports its use in cellular regeneration and hormonal balance when medically indicated.
Can Norditropin help with weight loss?
Norditropin is not a “weight loss drug,” but it can support fat reduction and lean muscle gain, especially in the abdominal area. Patients often notice improved metabolism and body composition over time with lifestyle changes.
Is HGH safe?
When prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician, HGH therapy is generally safe. Like any medication, it can have side effects if misused or overused. That’s why blood work, medical history, and ongoing evaluation are essential.
Do I need a prescription to get Norditropin?

How is Norditropin administered?
Norditropin comes in preloaded FlexPro pens. Injections are subcutaneous (under the skin) and are typically done daily. Most patients report the process as quick and painless.
How long before I see results?
Some people notice improvements in energy, sleep, and focus within weeks. Physical changes like fat loss and muscle gain usually appear after 2–3 months of consistent use, depending on lifestyle and dosage.
Is Norditropin legal in the U.S.?

Can Norditropin improve athletic performance?
While not approved specifically for sports enhancement, Norditropin can support faster recovery, improved endurance, increased lean muscle mass, and joint support — all of which are valued by athletes and physically active individuals. However, HGH is banned in professional sports and should only be used under medical supervision.
Is there a difference between 10mg and 15mg FlexPro pens?
Yes. The 10mg pen is often used for beginners or those requiring lower daily doses. The 15mg pen is ideal for higher-dose protocols or patients needing more flexibility in their treatment plan. Both pens deliver the same high-quality somatropin, just in different quantities.
How do I qualify for HGH therapy?
To qualify, you must undergo a medical evaluation, including lab testing to assess your HGH and IGF-1 levels. You’ll also complete a health questionnaire to identify symptoms related to growth hormone deficiency. A licensed U.S. doctor will determine if HGH is appropriate for you.
What are the side effects of Norditropin?
When properly prescribed, side effects are rare. Some patients may experience mild swelling, joint stiffness, or numbness during initial stages. These typically subside as the body adjusts. Long-term misuse of HGH can lead to serious complications, which is why professional oversight is essential.
Can I combine Norditropin with testosterone or other therapies?
Yes, many men and women benefit from combined hormone optimization, such as pairing HGH with testosterone, peptides, or thyroid support. This should always be done under the care of a hormone specialist to ensure safety and synergy between treatments.
