Somatotropin for Growth and Strength? 💪

Then there is somatotropin agonist somatotropin which is also known as growth hormone. Kind of controversial. It came out years ago for short statute children. And then in the 90s there was a study by this Dr. Rudman in Wisconsin where he found that giving it to middle aged men led to them looking and seeming younger. They appeared younger. Every measurement of youth that we had at the time, I got better, they got a little stronger, a little leaner, faster, a little sharper, we'll move around a little bit better. And then there was not an abundant supply of somatotropin or growth hormone and we needed it for short statute children while wealthy people were taking it for anti aging purposes with a period of work. So the FDA did ban it for that use. They specifically banned it for the use. Now in general if a drug's FDA approved your doctor can use whatever they want to want to use it for but there's exceptions.
