Anti-Aging Growth Hormone

Meaning

This term refers to the non-clinical, often promotional, use of human growth hormone (HGH) or its secretagogues with the purported goal of reversing or slowing physiological aging processes. Clinically, HGH is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland, essential for growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. The clinical use of HGH is strictly regulated and reserved for documented growth hormone deficiency, not for generalized aging. Misapplication of this term overlooks the complex endocrine balance and potential risks associated with supraphysiological hormone levels.
