A good example of this is growth hormone secretagogues peptides that facilitate growth hormone secretion whose capacity to promote physical growth can trigger the growth and spread of tumors.18 For that reason, peptides such as sermorelin, tesamorelin, and CJC-1295 are contraindicated for people with active cancer, as well as those with a personal or familial history of cancer
For instance, long-term supplementation with a cystine-based antioxidant compound is able to delay age-associated muscle loss [83]
