Different Types of HGH Injections
With so many different types of HGH injections on the market, determining which one to buy may seem like a daunting task. Here at Greenberg Health, our goal is to help you find the right brand and injector style of human growth hormone for your needs.
The various types of human growth hormone injections include:
- Lyophilized Vials
Vial format is the standard (and lowest cost) option for purchasing HGH medication. Each vial contains HGH in a lyophilized (freeze-dried powder) state. You will also receive the appropriate diluent solution to reconstitute the medication when you are ready to use it. Because you administer HGH right below the skin of the abdomen, you will also receive the same small needles and syringes used by diabetics for insulin injections.
- Injector Pens
Most pharmaceutical companies offer some type of injector pen. Some are all-in-one units that you dispose of when empty. Others provide replaceable cartridges. Depending on the brand of HGH, the medication may require reconstitution or already be in liquid form. Our chart further down this page highlights the differences.
- Prefilled Syringes
One brand, Genotropin, provides the MiniQuick – 10 different strength pre-filled, individual use syringes. Because these syringes are room-temperature stable for up to three months, they are an excellent option for individuals who travel frequently or for extended times.
The more you know about the various types of HGH injections, the easier it becomes to make a choice that is right for you.
The different types of HGH injections offer something for everyone!

Which Type of HGH Injection is Best?
It might seem as though with so many types of growth hormone injections, one would stand out as the best. That is not the case. The decision is a matter of personal preference. Each brand of HGH is well-known for its purity and quality. They all contain a similar 191 amino acid sequence of somatropin that is identical to the somatotropin (growth hormone) produced by the pituitary gland.
Of these different types of HGH injections, what is best for one person may not be so for another. Some people value convenience, above all else. For them, the Genotropin MiniQuick or Norditropin FlexPro pens may be the optimum choice. As all-in-one units, they do not require the changing of cartridges. Of course, convenience does come at a higher price.
How Do I Know Which HGH Injections to Buy?
Do not worry over trying to decide which type of HGH to buy on your own. That is where we can help. Our highly experienced and knowledgeable medical advisors will discuss the options available to you once our doctor determines your HGH dosage. The amount of HGH you need to inject each day will automatically rule out several options.
We then look at whether you frequently travel, any dexterity issues that may make one option stand out, as well as any budgetary concerns you may have. With all that information in place, we can help you decide which of the different types of HGH injections is best suited to your needs.
