anabolic therapies

Anabolic therapies refer to medical treatments that promote the growth of muscle and the increase of bone mass. These therapies often involve the use of synthetic hormones, like anabolic steroids or growth hormone, which mimic the body's natural substances that help build tissues. Anabolic therapies are commonly used in patients with conditions that lead to muscle wasting or osteoporosis, helping improve strength, mobility, and overall health. They are also sometimes used in sports medicine, but their use is controversial due to potential health risks and ethical concerns in competitive sports.
