Otherwise I fully agree.This question has been asked many times before...
But to answer you, I don’t think there is a single one...
HGH definitelts helps with fat loss and definitely helps with muscle fullness (by which methods I do not know) but it very likely doesn’t build muscle in adults....
At least not at the 4-6iu range I was using it at for a year..
I believe what the OP is asking is for someone to show us this "scientific data" because some are saying there are no studies to prove this. Ive heard a lot of ppl saying the same thing you are saying but are they just repeating what they've heard or do they actually have some scientific data that they can post up and show us. Honestly idk one way or the other and i dont just take someone's word for it and i also dont think scientific studies are the be all end all for things either.Scientific data shows HGH has the ability to cause hypertrophy AND Hyperplasia (create new muscle cells). AAS only causes Hypertrophy.
However in real life practice this just does not pan out as genuine, especially when gh is used without AAS or insulin. Apparently in doses of 8ui+ this may be possible, but also that dose will cause smooth muscle growth (GH gut).
Its best for its lipotropic effects. Used with AAS and insulin it has a synergistic effect.

The TLDR of the thread linked above is that there is ZERO evidence for the claim that GH causes muscle growth. In adult humans, GH causes neither hyperplasia nor hypertrophy at the (supra-physiological) dosages used in studies.
As DC points out, there are many other benefits to GH use. Given the same caloric surplus, the GH user will stay leaner while accumulating muscle tissue than a non-user. Similarly, a GH user can run a higher calorie surplus while maintaining body fat levels and therefore accrue more muscle tissue.
Also, the effect of GH on joint and tendon health is well established scientifically and in line with anecdoatal reports. If your connective tissues heal faster, you can up your training intensity and less injuries means less breaks and more progress over a given year of training. For me, this is the most important benefit of GH. Little nagging injuries that usually would require reduced volume and intensity for weeks disappear within days and thus allow me to train harder and to make more progress.
There's a trade off here. Consistently elevated blood levels (from frequent injections) are ideal in terms of lipotropic action. However, frequent dosing may be to the detriment of insulin sensitivity and thereby counterproductive to nutrient partitioning toward muscle tissue.This makes sense to me. What dose do you think is ideal for staying lean in a calorie surplus? 2ui AM and 2 iu PM?

In previous studies on subjects with long term AAS supplementation (9±3.3 years), we observed significant higher frequency of newly formed myofibers in AAS users than in the non-AAS users, indicating that steroid can induce both muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia [14], [15].
