Growth Hormone

Human Growth Hormone Releasing Hormones & Peptides

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) releasing hormones and peptides are substances that stimulate the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland in the brain. These hormones and peptides work by acting on specific receptors in the pituitary, triggering the secretion of growth hormone into the bloodstream. Examples of HGH releasing hormones and peptides include Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analogs such as CJC 1295, and Growth Hormone Secretagogues (Peptides, GHRP) like Ipamorelin. 

These compounds are often used therapeutically to address conditions associated with growth hormone deficiency or to enhance physical performance, muscle growth, fat weight loss, improve sleep and overall vitality. They can be administered via injections or oral routes and are typically used under medical supervision to ensure proper dosing, safety, and maximize benefits.  It is important to note that these products are not synthetic growth hormone (Somatropin) and will not shut down your body's natural production of HGH.

What can I expect with growth hormone?

​

• Increased Muscle Mass and Strength: Stimulates the synthesis of new muscle tissue and enhances muscle growth, leading to increased muscle mass and strength.

• Improved Fat Metabolism: Promotes the breakdown of stored fat (lipolysis) and inhibits fat accumulation, leading to reduced body fat percentage and improved body composition.

• Enhanced Bone Density: Plays a role in bone metabolism and can increase bone mineral density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

• Improved Exercise Performance: Enhances exercise capacity, endurance, and recovery, allowing individuals to perform better during workouts and physical activities.

• Enhanced Recovery and Healing: Accelerates tissue repair and regeneration, leading to faster recovery from injuries, surgery, and exercise-induced muscle damage.

• Better Sleep Quality: Secretion peaks during deep sleep stages, and adequate levels of growth hormone are essential for maintaining healthy sleep patterns and overall sleep quality.

• Increased Energy and Vitality: Boosts energy levels and vitality, leading to improved mood, cognitive function, and overall well-being.

• Youthful Skin Appearance: Stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and promoting a more youthful complexion.

• Improved Immune Function: Supports immune function by enhancing the production and function of immune cells, leading to a stronger immune response against infections and illnesses.

• Anti-Aging Effects: Growth hormone has been associated with anti-aging effects, including improved organ function, enhanced metabolism, and overall rejuvenation.

What are my options?

​

At Virtus Men's Health the most common option that we recommend is CJC 1295/Ipamorelin.  It has a wonderful safety profile and is very effective.  Other GHRH options include Sermorelin and Tesamorelin.  GHRP's include Hexarelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6, Ipamorelin, and Ibutamorelin (MK 677).  Not all peptides and secretagogues are created equally.  There may be certain aspects where one is more goal oriented for your specific needs than another or certain aspects of one particular compound that may work against other goals.  That is why we recommend medical supervision as we can guide you along the way for best results.
