Anti-Aging Hormones: What the Evidence Actually Says
A science-based review of growth hormone, peptides, DHEA, and other anti-aging hormone therapies.
The anti-aging hormone therapy market has exploded, but what does the scientific evidence actually support? We review the current research on the most popular anti-aging hormone interventions.
Growth Hormone
While GH can improve body composition and skin quality, its effects on actual lifespan are unclear. Some animal studies suggest GH may actually accelerate aging. Its use for anti-aging remains controversial among endocrinologists.
Peptides
Growth hormone secretagogues like CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin offer a potentially safer alternative to direct GH administration by stimulating natural production. However, large-scale human studies are limited.
