Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and health issues. HGH therapy can help raise hormone levels back to an optimal range, promoting benefits such as:
If your HGH levels are too low, also called growth hormone deficiency, you may experience symptoms such as:
- Decreased muscle mass and strength - Increased body fat, especially abdominal fat - Hair loss or thinning hair - Reduced bone density (osteoporosis risk) - Joint pain and stiffness - Poor injury healing
- Low mood, depression or emotional instability - Lack of motivation and energy - Reduced ability to focus and concentrate - Impaired memory and mental functioning - Increased anxiety or social isolation
- Fatigue, low stamina and endurance - Insomnia or disrupted sleep - High cholesterol levels - Reduced libido and sexual function
If you experience a combination of these symptoms, it may indicate an HGH deficiency requiring treatment. Blood tests can check your actual HGH levels to determine if hormone therapy is recommended by your doctor.
Since symptoms of low HGH can be vague or attributed to normal aging, testing is essential for an accurate diagnosis. Our clinic uses advanced blood analysis methods to directly measure your:
These lab tests require blood samples drawn at specific times such as exercising, fasting or shortly after waking when HGH levels peak.
Interpreting your test results properly determines if they fall within the normal range adjusted for your age and gender. Optimal HGH therapy requires accurately diagnosing a true growth hormone deficiency requiring treatment.
If testing confirms an HGH deficit, specialized physicians like those at our clinic can prescribe bioidentical human growth hormone therapy. Treatment protocols involve injecting pharmaceutical HGH to restore levels back to a youthful optimal range.
Common hgh therapy protocols include:
- Self-administered subcutaneous injections - Typically done daily at night before bed - HGH dose adjusted based on individual needs
- Special preparations that release HGH slowly over 1-2 weeks - Require less frequent injections such as once weekly or every 2 weeks - Steady hormone levels compared to daily peaks and valleys
Starting HGH therapy requires proper dosing and regular monitoring to balance hormone levels safely and effectively. Our experts help create customized treatment plans for your unique health goals.
While often associated with illegal performance enhancement, HGH therapy is also used to treat children with growth disorders. When prescribed properly by a doctor, it can help kids with conditions like growth hormone deficiency and Turner syndrome grow taller and improve their quality of life.
