Courtney Love is taking her fascination with her looks to a new level.

Insiders say the 45-year-old singer is taking Genotropin, a human growth hormone, in a bid to halt the ageing process.

The hormone may also be responsible for her recent shock weight loss.

‘Courtney has been struggling with her weight,’ said a source.

‘She’s been using the hormones to help her gain muscle and for anti-ageing and likes the results. But she’s not very discreet. She even left a vial of it in her LA hotel room.’

A spokesman for Courtney said he was not aware that she was taking the hormone.
