Growth hormones in sports refers to the use of growth hormones (GH or HGH) for athletic enhancement, as opposed to growth hormone treatment for medical therapy. Human Growth Hormone is a prescription medication in the US, meaning that its distribution and use without a prescription is illegal. [1]
CJC-1295 may markedly increase plasma growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in animals and humans. [1] [2] [3] [5] With a single injection, in human subjects, CJC-1295 DAC may increase plasma GH levels by 2- to 10-fold for 6 days or longer and plasma IGF-1 levels by 0.5- to 3-fold for 9 to 11 days.

Tritiated estradiol radioactivity in blood with a single intramuscular injection of 1.5 to 2.8 μg tritiated estradiol in aqueous solution in four women. [1] Peak blood radioactivity occurred within 15 minutes in three of the women and in the remaining woman after 2 hours. [1] Source: Davis et al. (1963). [1]
Tesamorelin (trade name Egrifta SV) is a synthetic form of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) which is used in the treatment of HIV-associated lipodystrophy, approved initially in 2010.
The New England Journal of Medicine published two editorials in 2003 expressing concern about off-label uses of HGH and the proliferation of advertisements for "HGH-Releasing" dietary supplements, and emphasized that there is no evidence that use of HGH in healthy adults or in geriatric patients is safe and effective – and especially emphasized that risks of long-term HGH treatment are unknown.
Human Growth Hormone Fragment 176–191 (hGH frag 176–191) is a peptide fragment of human growth hormone. It has erroneously been presented as a lipolytic peptide fragment based on extrapolations of clinical data pertaining to AOD9604, a modified form of hGH frag 176–191. In contrast to AOD9604, hGH frag 176–191 has not been studied in ...
Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin, also known as human growth hormone (hGH or HGH) in its human form, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and other animals.
