This lecture by Dr. Mark L. Gordon discusses the use of secretagogues in Age Management Interventional Endocrinology due to the increasing challenges in using growth hormone. Secretagogues are seen as a logical first step before resorting to injectable growth hormone. The lecture emphasizes the efficacy of secretagogues, highlighting that in cases where the pituitary is involved, injectable growth hormone may be necessary. The regulations surrounding the use of growth hormone are strict, with requirements for challenge tests before prescribing. The cost considerations and efficacy of secretagogues are also addressed, noting the different pathways they target to stimulate growth hormone production.
- Secretagogues are recommended as the first step before using injectable growth hormone
- Challenge tests are required before prescribing growth hormone
- Regulations for growth hormone use are stringent
- Secretagogues target different pathways to stimulate growth hormone production

 

This was great. I think Gordon is one of the brightest minds in anti aging medicine and brain injury.

 

I've been considering adding Sermorelin to my TRT protocol. From what I've read it's beneficial to include a GHRP. What I don't understand is why there are so many varied mixtures of GHRH and GHRP. Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks

Much of it according to my reading has to do with half-life in the body. Others have affects on appetite, or cortisol, gastric motility, etc etc. You kind of have to read each one and evaluate it. They also complement each other and work in synergy together. What I found that I am trying is MOD GRF 1 (or CJC 1295 w/o DAC) plus GHRP 2.
