Ergogenic aids boost your performance ๐
- Ergogenic aids are substances that boost performance, and they aren't just about nutrition.
- They can include versions of hormones already in our bodies.
Human growth hormone (HGH) ๐
- What it is: A protein-based hormone that fuels tissue growth, and cell reproduction and regeneration.
- Fun Fact: Kids have more HGH than adults. Why? Because they're growing like crazy!
- Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rHGH): Think of this as HGH's lab-made twin. Helps adults with HGH deficiency and conditions stunting growth.
- Real-World Example: Ever heard of adults needing hormone therapy? This is where rHGH can come into play.
Erythropoietin (EPO) โค๏ธ
- What it is: Another protein hormone that's like the body's red blood cell manager.
- Two Big Jobs: Protects red blood cells from damage and gets the bone marrow to produce new ones.
- EPO Headquarters: Mainly in the kidneys and liver.
- Recombinant EPO (rEPO): Lab version of EPO, used mainly to tackle anemia caused by various health issues.
- Real-World Example: Ever met someone with anemia? rEPO can be a game-changer for them!
