HGH
Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also called Somatropin when prescribed as a medication, is one of the most powerful hormones affecting growth, body composition, and recovery. It has legitimate medical uses, but many of the benefits promoted in fitness and anti-aging communities are exaggerated.
Proven Benefits (when treating true GH deficiency)
1. Increased Lean Muscle Mass
HGH increases protein synthesis and helps preserve or build lean tissue.
2. Reduced Body Fat
It tends to preferentially reduce fat mass, especially visceral (abdominal) fat.
3. Improved Bone Density
Long-term treatment can increase bone mineral density and reduce osteoporosis risk in people with deficiency.
4. Better Exercise Capacity
People with GH deficiency often experience improved energy, exercise tolerance, and physical performance after treatment.
5. Enhanced Recovery and Tissue Repair
Growth hormone stimulates production of IGF-1, which contributes to tissue repair and regeneration
