I mean how would you think about that? I do worry about it for I'm not a specialist on growth hormone itself. um it induces diabetes. It induces glucose intolerance. So from that angle I'm do worry about what it would do chronically especially in someone young. For me I really it's a bit like uh increasing your protein intake. um if you are you know there's a clear evidence that increasing your protein intake especially as you age becomes beneficial and the people who have higher protein intake um uh actually do better in terms of muscle mass and so on. So in someone uh who is 65 to 70 who is starting to feel you know uh the effect of or manifest some form of psychopenia there might be a benefit for that person to actually increase muscular mass and and all the benefits with this especially if it's not done continuously but but I mean I would argue there's no doubt that there's benefits but you're going to get far more efficacy from testosterone or anabolic steroids when it comes comes to mitigating sarcopenia. Growth hormone actually is not remarkable at inducing muscle mass. It's nowhere near as effective um as testosterone.
