Somatotropic Axis Support

Meaning

Somatotropic Axis Support is the therapeutic effort directed at optimizing the function of the Somatotropic Axis, which is the central regulatory system comprising the Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, and the peripheral release of Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). This support is crucial for maintaining lean body mass, bone mineral density, skin integrity, and a healthy metabolic profile throughout the lifespan. Declining function of this axis is a key feature of aging.
