Growth Hormone Therapy
Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for age-related GH decline, targeting body composition, energy, and recovery.
Overview
Growth Hormone Therapy uses recombinant human growth hormone to address the natural decline in GH production that begins in the 30s. Proponents claim benefits for body composition, energy, skin quality, and recovery, though its use for anti-aging remains controversial and is not FDA-approved for this purpose.
How It Works
Exogenous GH mimics the effects of naturally produced growth hormone, stimulating IGF-1 production in the liver. IGF-1 promotes tissue growth, protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and cellular regeneration throughout the body. These effects collectively address many hallmarks of aging.

Dosage Information
Anti-aging protocols typically use 1-2 IU daily, significantly lower than doses used for GH deficiency. Injections are usually administered at bedtime to mimic natural GH secretion patterns.
