Somatotrophic Axis Optimization

Meaning

Somatotrophic Axis Optimization is a clinical strategy aimed at enhancing the function of the growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis to promote anabolic processes, maintain lean body mass, and support metabolic health. This focus is critical for counteracting the age-related decline in GH and IGF-1 signaling, which contributes to sarcopenia and changes in body composition. The goal is to restore the robust signaling characteristic of a more youthful physiological state.
