Growth Hormones
8 compounds in this category
Growth hormone secretagogues and related peptides stimulate the body's own production of growth hormone rather than providing exogenous GH directly. Research interest centers on body composition, recovery, sleep quality, and anti-aging applications.
Caution
Growth hormone elevation affects multiple systems. Potential concerns include insulin resistance, joint pain, and theoretical cancer risk from sustained IGF-1 elevation. Cycling protocols are common in research discussions.
Good to Know
Most GH peptides are administered via subcutaneous injection, typically before bed to align with natural GH pulsatility. The GHRH + GHRP combination (e.g., CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin) is the most studied pairing for synergistic GH release.
