Human Growth Hormone (hGH) is banned for non-medical use in the USA primarily because of its potential for misuse and health risks associated with its unregulated use, such as increased risk of diabetes, joint and muscle pain, and abnormal growth of bones and organs. It is approved by the FDA only for specific medical conditions, such as growth hormone deficiency, because its use outside these indications can lead to significant side effects and unfair advantages in sports and bodybuilding.
