Additionally, many of these herbs and nutrients may also offer protective or mitigating effects against the undesirable side effects experienced with GLP-1 drugs
Because GH and IGF-1 promote protein synthesis and lipolysis, these hormonal changes provide a plausible mechanistic basis for modest increases in lean body mass, improved recovery and support for fat loss seen in clinical and observational contexts, but robust controlled trials explicitly measuring those endpoints are still lacking

Elevated IGF-1 levels: Serum IGF-1, the downstream marker of growth hormone activity, rises with consistent Sermorelin administration
GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic , mimic these natural effects to help with weight loss and blood sugar control
This is clinically important because a physiological pulse pattern does not produce the receptor desensitization or side effect profile associated with direct GH injection
