HGH Fragment (HGH Frag 176-191) is a peptide hormone of the Growth Hormone (GH) class. Specifically, HGH Frag 176-191 is as its name implies a fragment of the GH hormone, a piece or part of the GH hormone. Human Growth Hormone (HGH), the tail end of the hormone is cut off and what’s removed is HGH Frag 176-191. This is the part of HGH that represents its fat burning power. This will be the primary and perhaps only purpose of HGH Frag 176-191, for use in fat loss and dieting. The studies on HGH Frag 176-191 date back into the 1970’s and in the early 1980’s were confirmed in terms of the fragments ability to directly affect adipose tissue. HGH Fragment 176-191 is the end of the 191-amino acid Human Growth Hormone molecular chain. GH is a hormone produced by the pituitary. HGH is the synthetic version produced in a lab; both are comprised of the same 191-amino acid chain. GH, in particular elevated levels through the use of HGH have long been associated with fat loss. They have also been associated with increases in muscularity, recovery and a host of health and anti-aging benefits. For HGH Frag 176-191, the concentration of action is only on the adipose fat cells, specifically by increasing lipolitic action. HGH Frag 176-191 has been shown to be such an effective fat loss tool it actually inhibits the formation of lipids and fatty acids. Equally important, as it is only a portion of the full GH hormone, the issues of hyperglycemia often associated with HGH use are absent. This means there is no blood sugar issues as can occur at times with HGH.
