Human Growth Hormone Fasting

Meaning

Human Growth Hormone Fasting refers to the physiological phenomenon where periods of nutrient deprivation, specifically the absence of caloric intake, robustly stimulate a significant, pulsatile increase in the endogenous secretion of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) from the anterior pituitary gland. This natural elevation is a metabolic adaptation designed to preserve lean muscle mass and facilitate the crucial shift of the body’s primary fuel source from glucose to fat stores. Clinically, this fasting-induced HGH surge is strategically leveraged as a natural strategy to promote lipolysis, support cellular repair, and enhance overall anabolic signaling without the need for exogenous hormone administration.
