Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a key role in growth, cell regeneration and metabolism. As we age, HGH production naturally declines, contributing to signs of aging like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, thinner skin, lower energy levels, and impaired brain function.
HGH therapy involves supplementing the body's lower HGH levels to help alleviate these deficiency symptoms. When administered correctly under medical supervision, HGH injections can provide anti-aging and metabolic benefits leading to improved health, body composition, bone strength, cholesterol levels, mood, energy and quality of life.
Declining HGH levels rarely cause abrupt symptoms. Deficiency signs tend to develop gradually over months and years. Some common indicators of low HGH in adults include:
If multiple deficiency signs are present, an HGH blood test is recommended to accurately determine your somatotropin levels before considering replacement therapy.
When administered properly at personalized doses, HGH injections can provide remarkable benefits including:
In short, properly administered HGH therapy can help you look better, feel younger, get healthier and function at your highest level!
When used for legitimate hormone deficiency treatment, HGH presents an extremely low risk of side effects in the majority of patients under proper medical supervision. However potential risks include:
These potential effects reinforce why expert medical guidance is vital when determining if HGH therapy is right for your needs, hormone profile and health status.
Although often associated with athletes and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency to help them achieve normal height and development. Today it remains an FDA-approved medicine used for this pediatric condition when properly prescribed by a doctor.
There are various types of bioidentical human growth hormone products used for injection-based replacement therapy. At our clinic, only the highest quality pharmaceutical HGH is used.
Treatment protocols are customized for your unique deficit level, individualized dosage requirements, lifestyle factors, age, and goals. However a typical process for initiating therapy includes:
Ongoing medical oversight allows us to fine-tune your HGH therapy for maximum benefits and safety based on continual feedback and testing.
As we pass age 30, our body's natural HGH secretion declines by 10-15% per decade. This slow reduction progresses gradually, allowing deficiency symptoms to accumulate over time. Suboptimal hormone levels may negatively impact your health for years before clear indicators motivate testing and treatment.
When untreated due to lack of noticeable symptoms, declining HGH can promote accelerated aging, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, inflammation and mental decline. That's why proactive testing and replacement upon initial deficiency signs - instead of waiting years until major symptoms appear - provides anti-aging benefits protecting long term wellness.
In your 30s and 40s as HGH levels begin decreasing, addressing deficits through lifestyle or low dose therapy could stall aging's downward spiral, providing amplified and lasting benefits unmatched by waiting until your 50s or later.
Don't write off subtle deficiency signs. Trust your instincts and get tested to gauge levels. By treating before major symptoms appear, HGH therapy can help you stay biologically younger longer!
