-
E.G.H. is an injectable Equine Growth Hormone preparation manufactured by Equimed USA.
-
Supplied in a 10 mL sterile multi-dose vial.
-
Intended for performance animals (horses & camels) requiring enhanced growth, conditioning, and recovery.
Composition (Likely Active Ingredient)
-
Recombinant Equine Growth Hormone (eGH) or an analogous peptide hormone.
-
Functions as a metabolic and anabolic regulator, stimulating protein synthesis and muscle development.
Mechanism of Action
-
Enhances protein metabolism and nitrogen retention, leading to increased lean muscle mass.
-
Stimulates IGF-1 production (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1), which promotes tissue repair, bone strength, and endurance.
-
Improves recovery after intensive exercise.
Veterinary Applications
-
Horses or camels in intensive training or competition.
-
Promotes muscle growth, stamina, and recovery.
-
May assist in wound and tissue healing.
-
Used in some cases for growth deficiencies or developmental issues.
Dosage & Administration
-
Administered via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection.
-
Dose depends on body weight, condition, and veterinary protocol.
-
Typically part of a short course cycle, not for continuous long-term use.
Benefits
✔ Increases muscle mass and strength
✔ Enhances endurance and recovery post-training
✔ Stimulates tissue repair and healing
✔ Improves overall conditioning and performance
✔ Supports growth and development in young or under-conditioned animals
Precautions
-
Strictly for veterinary use under supervision.
-
Misuse can lead to metabolic imbalance, insulin resistance, or joint strain.
-
Banned in most equine and camel racing authorities as a doping substance – withdrawal periods must be respected.
