Enhancers

Enhancers work on the hormones, Estrogen and testosterone by either enhancing or blocking. 

AndroGel provides testosterone replacement therapy to men whose bodies do not make enough testosterone. 

Saizen (growth hormone) is used to treat children and adults who have growth failure because of a deficiency of growth hormone, chronic kidney failure, or Turner syndrome. Saizen may also be used for hormone rejuvenation therapy. After the age of 30, HGH secretion continually decreases. Though an increase in exercise and maintaining the proper diet can help to slightly increase the HGH level in your body, replacement therapy can ensure results. 

HCG Novarel used to stimulate natural testosterone. Increases testosterone when natural levels need to be stimulated. 

Tamoxifen (Generic Nolvadex) Estrogen Blocker.

Description
Androgens (AN-droe-jens) are male hormones. Some androgens are naturally produced in the body and are necessary for the normal sexual development of males.
Androgens are used for several reasons, such as:
to replace the hormone when the body is unable to produce enough on its own.
to stimulate the beginning of puberty in certain boys who are late starting puberty naturally.
to treat certain types of breast cancer in females.
In addition, some of these medicines may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Androgens are available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage forms:

Growth hormone --Somatrem; Somatropin


Description
Somatrem and somatropin are man-made versions of human growth hormone. Growth hormone is naturally produced by the pituitary gland and is necessary to stimulate growth in children. Man-made growth hormone may be used in children who have certain conditions that cause failure to grow normally. These conditions include growth hormone deficiency (inability to produce enough growth hormone), kidney disease, Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), and Turner's syndrome. Growth hormone is also used in adults to treat growth failure and to treat weight loss caused by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage forms:

Description
Chorionic gonadotropin (kor-ee-ON-ik goe-NAD-oh-troe-pin) is a drug whose actions are almost the same as those of luteinizing (loo-te-in-eye-ZING) hormone (LH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. It is a hormone also normally produced by the placenta in pregnancy. Chorionic gonadotropin has different uses for females and males.
In females, chorionic gonadotropin is used to help conception occur. It is usually given in combination with other drugs such as menotropins and urofollitropin. Many women being treated with these drugs usually have already tried clomiphene alone (e.g., Serophene) and have not been able to conceive yet. Chorionic gonadotropin is also used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs.
In males, LH and chorionic gonadotropin stimulate the testes to produce male hormones such as testosterone. Testosterone causes the enlargement of the penis and testes and the growth of pubic and underarm hair. It also increases the production of sperm.
Although chorionic gonadotropin has been prescribed to help some patients lose weight, it should never be used this way. When used improperly, chorionic gonadotropin can cause serious problems.
Chorionic gonadotropin is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor. It is available in the following dosage form:
Parenteral 
Injection (U.S. and Canada)

Description
Tamoxifen ( ta-MOX-i-fen) is a medicine that blocks the effects of the estrogen hormone in the body. It is used to treat breast cancer in women or men. It may also be used to treat other kinds of cancer, as determined by your doctor.
Tamoxifen also may be used to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women who have a high risk of developing breast cancer. Women at high risk for developing breast cancer are at least 35 years of age and have a combination of risk factors that make their chance of developing breast cancer 1.67% or more over the next 5 years. Your doctor will help to determine your risk of developing breast cancer.
The following are risk factors that may increase your chance of developing breast cancer: 
If you have close family members (mother, sister, or daughter) with breast cancer
If you have ever had a breast biopsy or if high-risk changes in your breast(s) have been found from a breast biopsy
If you have never been pregnant or if your first pregnancy occurred at a late age
If your first menstrual period occurred at an early age
The exact way that tamoxifen works against cancer is not known, but it may be related to the way it blocks the effects of estrogen on the body.
Before you begin treatment with tamoxifen, you and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
Tamoxifen is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form:
Oral 
Tablets (U.S. and Canada)
