I break down the human data on HGH (human growth hormone) for anti-aging and performance—what actually improves, what doesn’t, and where it clearly helps (injury recovery and true GH deficiency). I also cover side effects, dosing philosophy (“replacement, not enhancement”), and how to think about HGH in a longevity stack as you age.
