GerioStim 45 IU is a synthetic recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) delivered in a multi-dose pen. Each pen contains 45 IU (15 mg / 1.5 ml), providing precise dosing for medical and performance applications.

Composition and Formulation

GERIOSTIM 45 IU is composed of recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH), structurally identical to the natural human growth hormone. One pen delivers 45 IU, contributing to a total of 100 IU if multiple pens are used.

How It Works in the Body

• After subcutaneous injection, rHGH enters the bloodstream and binds to growth hormone receptors in various tissues.
• Stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1), promoting muscle protein synthesis, bone growth, and fat metabolism.
• Enhances lipolysis, breaking down stored fat into energy.
• Supports tissue repair and recovery, improving healing of muscles, tendons, and joints.
• Regulates metabolism by influencing carbohydrate, protein, and fat utilization.
