HGH Fragment (176-191) Peptide Therapy
HGH Fragment (176-191) is a shortened peptide sequence taken from human growth hormone (HGH). Unlike full HGH, which influences a wide range of functions in the body, this fragment has been studied mainly for its fat-burning and metabolic effects. At The Catalyst Clinic, we provide expert consultation and supervised peptide therapy, including HGH Fragment, for those exploring advanced approaches to health and body composition.
What is HGH Fragment (176-191)?
A peptide made of 16 amino acids, representing part of the full HGH molecule.
Originally identified because this region appeared to influence metabolism and fat breakdown without the broad systemic effects of HGH.
Studied for potential roles in weight management, insulin sensitivity, and tissue repair.
In simple terms: HGH Fragment is thought to focus on fat metabolism and cellular energy use, making it different from traditional HGH therapy.
Benefits of HGH Fragment (176-191)
Research and early studies suggest potential benefits may include:
- • Fat metabolism support – enhancing lipolysis (fat breakdown)
- • Weight management – possible applications in obesity research
- • Improved insulin sensitivity – may influence blood sugar regulation
- • Bone and cartilage support – explored for healing and joint health
- • Cellular repair – early research into possible tissue regeneration benefits
How HGH Fragment Works
HGH Fragment (176-191) is thought to act on fat metabolism pathways rather than general growth functions.
- • Lipolysis – may encourage the breakdown of stored fat for energy
- • Energy regulation – potential impact on metabolism and calorie use
- • Other pathways under research – including cartilage repair, bone healing, and insulin response
Some of these effects have been linked to a related synthetic analogue called AOD9604, though human studies on HGH Fragment itself remain limited.
Potential Therapeutic Applications
While more evidence is needed, HGH Fragment is being explored for:
- • Weight management and fat reduction
- • Supporting metabolic health
- • Adjunctive support in bone or cartilage repair
- • Possible research roles in insulin resistance and cancer treatment
Note: HGH Fragment is considered investigational. Most data is from animal or lab studies, and human evidence is limited.
Safety and Side Effects
As with many peptides, long-term data in humans is limited. Possible considerations include:
- • Blood sugar impact – may affect glucose levels
- • Medication interactions – unknown interactions with certain drugs
- • Unknown long-term effects – especially around growth and development
At The Catalyst Clinic, safety comes first. All peptide therapy is prescribed only after full consultation and under ongoing clinical supervision.

FAQs
-
It is mainly researched for fat metabolism, weight management, and metabolic health.
-
No. HGH Fragment (176-191) is a small part of the full HGH molecule, with more targeted effects on metabolism rather than overall growth.
-
Human trials are limited. Potential risks include blood sugar changes and unknown long-term effects. All therapy at The Catalyst Clinic is medically supervised.
-
Yes. Our London clinic provides consultations and supervised peptide therapy options including HGH Fragment.
