HGH Fragment 176-191 from Super Human Peptides UK is a synthetic peptide representing the terminal C-terminus end of the human growth hormone molecule. In laboratory research, this specific 16-amino acid sequence is studied for its potent lipolytic (fat-breaking) properties. Unlike the full-length growth hormone molecule, Fragment 176-191 is engineered to isolate the fat-metabolism effects of GH without triggering growth-promoting (mitogenic) activity or influencing insulin sensitivity.
Produced under GMP-compliant conditions and verified for 99% purity or higher, HGH Fragment 176-191 is a primary tool for investigating lipid oxidation and adipose tissue regulation.
WarningFor laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

Published Research and Study Findings
HGH Fragment 176-191 has been extensively documented for its ability to mimic the way natural growth hormone regulates fat metabolism. Research led by Ng et al. (2000) demonstrated that this specific fragment retains the ability of GH to reduce body fat in obese animal models while significantly reducing the risk of side effects like fluid retention and decreased glucose tolerance.
Laboratory studies have shown that the fragment works by stimulating the breakdown of fat (lipolysis) and inhibiting the transformation of non-fatty foods into body fat (lipogenesis). Furthermore, because it lacks the "growth" portion of the GH molecule (the N-terminus), it does not compete for the GH receptor in a way that would stimulate IGF-1 levels, making it a highly specific tool for metabolic researchers.
NoteAll findings are derived from laboratory and non-clinical research settings.
