Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland. As the name suggests, it stimulates growth in children and adolescents. However, it continues to play important roles in adults related to metabolism, muscle and bone strength, injury healing, and overall well-being.
HGH levels begin declining after age 30, leading to symptoms like decreased energy, muscle loss, weight gain, poor sleep, mood issues, and diminished sex drive in some adults. Replacing low HGH through therapy can help alleviate these symptoms and possibly provide anti-aging benefits.
HGH therapy may benefit adults unable to produce adequate amounts of growth hormone on their own. Those experiencing low IGF-1 levels along with multiple deficiency symptoms tend to see improvements with treatment.
Ideal candidates for HGH therapy often share traits like:
Treatment success also relies heavily on adopting lifestyle measures to support hormonal balance. Our clinicians provide customized protocols to meet each patient’s unique needs.
When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH replacement therapy offers a wide range of advantages:
The anabolic effects of HGH promote the development of lean muscle tissue. This leads to beneficial gains in strength, stamina, and exercise capacity. The boost in calorie-burning potential also aids sustainable weight loss.
Along with strength training, adequate HGH levels help build bone mass to achieve peak density. This helps reduce fracture risks and conditions like osteoporosis.
HGH stimulates increased collagen production. With sufficient protein intake, treatment can strengthen skin integrity, improve thickness, increase elasticity, and reduce wrinkles and cellulite.
Balanced HGH levels translate into elevated mood, motivation, and cognition for many patients. This leads to better productivity, relationships, and quality of life.
The cell regeneration prompted by growth hormone accelerates healing throughout the body. HGH therapy can therefore help recover from wounds, burns, fractures, torn ligaments/tendons faster.
With proper guidance, those experiencing growth hormone deficiency can benefit immensely from HGH replacement therapy.
The first step is accurately diagnosing a growth hormone deficiency. This requires specific blood tests, medical history reviews, and physical exams assessing IGF-1, pituitary function, and related hormone levels.
Treatment protocols are customized based on:
After establishing dosage guidelines, patients self-administer daily HGH injections to maintain optimal levels. We offer instruction for proper injection techniques plus ongoing medical monitoring to ensure treatment safety and efficacy.
HGH therapy has been shown to help improve bone density and decrease body fat in middle-aged adults with growth hormone deficiency. However, a little-known side effect is that it can lead to swelling and joint pain in the fingers and wrists for some patients in the first few months of treatment. The mechanism behind this side effect is still not fully understood.
