Compound Profiles

HGH

Human Growth Hormone | Somatropin

Binds to GH receptors on target tissues, triggering JAK2-STAT5 signaling pathway. Direct effects include lipolysis, protein synthesis, and metabolic regulation.

Half-life: 3-4 hours (SC), 20-30 minutes (IV) Typical dose: 1-4 IU daily (0.33-1.33mg); start low and titrate up growth hormone, weight loss, healing

Ketoconazole

Antifungal | Topical Anti-Androgen for Hair Loss

Ketoconazole works through multiple pathways relevant to hair loss. As an azole antifungal, it inhibits the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, disrupting ergosterol synthesis and killing Malassezia fungi that colonize the scalp and contribute to inflammation and seborrheic dermatitis.

Half-life: Topical application stays local with minimal systemic absorption Typical dose: 1-2% shampoo hair loss
