Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a key hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays an essential role in growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to changes in body composition and function. Maintaining optimal HGH levels can help minimize age-related decline and preserve vitality.
Some signs of HGH deficiency in adults include:
Benefits of HGH therapy may include:
If you are experiencing any concerning signs or symptoms of HGH deficiency, the first step is to schedule comprehensive lab testing to accurately measure your current IGF-1 and growth hormone levels.
Key hormone tests recommended:
It's important these tests be performed first thing in the morning after proper fasting for the most reliable results.
Our clinic offers convenient local testing with prompt result reporting so we can swiftly diagnose any hormone imbalance and get you on the path towards treatment if indicated. Diagnosing and addressing growth hormone deficiency early is key for the best restoration outcomes.
If lab testing confirms clinically low IGF-1 and growth hormone secretion, daily HGH injections may be prescribed to restore levels.
HGH therapy basics:
Benefits develop progressively, becoming evident after 3-6 months of consistent treatment. Most patients report significant improvements in body composition, energy, skin quality, emotional health, sexual function, injury healing time, and more while on properly dosed HGH therapy.
Our practitioners tailor treatment plans to your unique health profile, lifestyle and therapeutic goals. We provide ongoing medical supervision to ensure optimal short and long-term results from your therapy.
Lifestyle factors also profoundly impact your ability to achieve and maintain benefits from HGH injections. Here are some key recommendations:
Eat a diet rich in high quality proteins, healthy fats and micronutrient-dense vegetables and fruits. Stay well hydrated daily. Time your carb intake appropriately around your activity schedule.
Engage in regular strength training and enough cardiovascular exercise to facilitate fat burning. Even basic home-based bodyweight training and walking count when done consistently.
Prioritize getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to allow natural growth hormone secretion peaks to occur. Consider melatonin if needed.
Make relaxation and mindfulness part of your routine. Moderate intensity aerobic exercise and yoga classes can also curb stress. Set aside dedicated personal time.
Implementing these pillars will complement your HGH therapy for better energy levels, body composition, injury resistance, hormonal balance and sense of wellbeing.
Despite being banned in most sports, HGH injections are often prescribed by doctors to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. They can help patients reach normal height and bone density if taken under medical supervision during appropriate stages of development.
