Recombinant bovine somatotropin ( rBST ) or recombinant bovine growth hormone ( rBGH ) is an artificial growth hormone produced using microbes with modified ( recombinant ) DNA . It is approved in the United States since 1993; however, its use has been controversial since farmers have started using it.

:This is addressed in Growth hormone, which says that most of the supplements actually advertise that somehow they " release " HGH . The only food I can think of that is sure to contain somatotropin is pituitary . . . but note that even primate GH is inactive in humans.

In 2003, Oakhurst was faced with a lawsuit from Monsanto over Oakhurst's label on its milk cartons that said " Our farmer's pledge : no artificial hormones, " referring to the use of bovine somatotropin ( rBST ), a drug that increases milk production and that Monsanto sells.

In some countries, recombinant ( GM ) bovine somatotropin ( also called rBST, or bovine growth hormone or BGH ) is approved for administration to increase milk production . rBST may be present in milk from rBST treated cows, but it is destroyed in the digestive system and even if directly injected into the human bloodstream, has no observable effect on humans.
