Growth hormone boosters

Peptides that make the body release more of its own growth hormone. Sold for muscle, fat loss, sleep and anti-ageing. A few are approved drugs for narrow uses; the popular stacks rest on hormone-level studies in small groups, not on outcomes.

15 peptides: 2 at A, 4 at B, 9 at C
  1. ASomapacitanFDA approvedCut body fat in 301 adults as well as daily shots, and matched daily growth in children.
  2. ASomatropin (rhGH)FDA approvedIt restores growth in children who lack the hormone. Labels do not back use in healthy adults.
  3. BCJC-1295Not approvedIt raises growth hormone for days in small trials. No study shows muscle or fat change.
  4. BMK-677 (ibutamoren)Not approvedRaised growth hormone, but gave only small muscle gain in 65 older adults, with higher blood sugar.
  5. BTesamorelinFDA approvedIn people with HIV, deep belly fat fell about 15% in six months, then returned. One 60-person trial otherwise.
  6. BTesamorelin (compounded)Not approvedCut belly fat about 15% in people with HIV; the fat came back after stopping. One 60-person trial outside HIV.
  7. CAOD-9604Not approvedNo weight loss in the one big human trial. The fat-burning claim rests on mouse studies.
  8. CFragment 176-191Not approvedHelped rodents lose fat. Human trials of the same molecule failed to cause weight loss.

  10. CGHRP-6Not approvedRaised growth hormone in nine healthy men. Nothing tested for muscle, fat or healing in people.
  11. CHexarelinNot approvedIt raises growth hormone and also stress hormone. Heart benefits are shown only in animals.
