Human growth hormone (HGH) is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable effects like:
Low HGH often goes undiagnosed. Symptoms can be vague and develop gradually. Having a blood test is the only way to confirm deficiency.
If ignored, consequences of low HGH worsen over time - dramatically accelerating aging. Thankfully, HGH therapy can safely and effectively restore healthy levels.
HGH injections have been used since the 1980s to treat confirmed growth hormone deficiency. When prescribed properly and monitored by a specialist, HGH offers impressive benefits:
Patients often describe HGH as giving them energy levels from “years ago.” It can quite literally reverse aspects of aging when dosing is tailored to the individual by an anti-aging specialist.
There are a variety of FDA-approved HGH products. At our clinic, the most common is a bioidentical version of growth hormone called Omnitrope.
It comes in vials of powder, which must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and injected. Shallow subcutaneous injections just under the skin are easiest, typically rotating between the abdomen and thighs.
Protocols are customized, but most patients inject 3-7 times weekly. Convenient pen devices allow precise dosing and ease of use.
HGH therapy begins with a thorough history, physical exam, and baseline bloodwork to assess IGF-1 and other hormone levels. Follow up testing occurs at regular intervals to ensure proper dosing.
As experts in this field, our practitioners stay up to date on the latest HGH research and products. We incorporate complementary therapies like improved sleep, smart nutrition, and peptide supplements to enhance response.
While restoring youthful HGH levels offers obvious aesthetic benefits, optimization has more profound effects on overall wellness:
Growth hormone works closely with other hormones like testosterone and thyroid to regulate metabolism and vitality. Declining HGH often causes imbalances, best corrected as an integrated system.
Our clinic specializes in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using bioidentical hormones to restore balance. Custom combinations and dosing maximize benefits while minimizing side effects.
Studies show HGH therapy can reduce cardiovascular disease by lowering inflammatory factors like C-reactive protein. Growth hormone is intricately tied to immune function and resistance to illness.
By supporting lean muscle mass through increased protein synthesis and better nutrient uptake, HGH also protects against sarcopenia, obesity, and metabolic disorders like diabetes.
Research demonstrates the ability of HGH to increase focus, memory, and cognitive performance. This is likely due to improved blood flow and neuron connections in the brain.
By lifting mood and energy levels, HGH can also alleviate anxiety and depression - providing profound mental clarity and confidence.
While often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging effects, HGH therapy at proper medical doses has shown promise for helping young adults who suffer from growth hormone deficiency build stronger bones, reduce fat, and improve cardiovascular health to support normal development.
Since growth hormone deficiency worsens progressively, seeking treatment in a timely manner is prudent to:
We often see patients whose providers missed signs and symptoms for years. By properly testing and addressing low IGF-1 early, rigorous declines can be avoided.
