Growth Hormone Peptide Tracking

Meaning

Growth Hormone Peptide Tracking is the clinical practice of monitoring the levels and kinetics of specific endogenous peptides, such as Ghrelin or Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides (GHRPs), that naturally stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete Growth Hormone (GH). This process moves beyond simply measuring circulating GH or IGF-1, focusing instead on the upstream secretagogues that regulate the body’s natural pulsatile GH release. Tracking these peptides allows for a more nuanced assessment of the somatotropic axis function and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions aimed at optimizing natural GH production. It provides critical data for fine-tuning anti-aging and regenerative protocols.
