Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate growth, metabolism, muscle and bone strength, and overall well-being. As we age, HGH production naturally decreases, leading to deficiency symptoms like increased body fat, decreased muscle mass and strength, low energy, poor sleep, emotional changes, and impacts to skin, hair, vision, cholesterol, heart function and more.
Signs that you may have an HGH deficiency include:
Getting tested to check your IGF-1 and growth hormone levels through blood work is important, as an HGH deficiency can greatly impact your energy, appearance, and quality of life if not properly treated.
HGH therapy involves regular injections of bioidentical human growth hormone to restore healthy hormone levels. When used appropriately under medical supervision, HGH offers an array of benefits:
In essence, HGH therapy can help patients feel and function more youthfully as they age. Consistent treatment is key for experiencing the best outcomes.
HGH therapy begins with having your IGF-1, growth hormone and other hormone levels tested through blood work to help create a customized treatment plan.
If low HGH is confirmed, our specialized medical providers will prescribe daily HGH injections, usually starting at a lower dose which is gradually increased over the first few months based on your labs and response. Most patients inject HGH at night.
Ongoing lab testing and follow up every 3-6 months monitors progress and allows for dosage adjustments to maximize treatment effectiveness long-term.
Patience and consistency are vital - it takes time for HGH therapy to help rebalance your body's hormone levels. Most patients begin noticing positive effects in sleep, energy, skin and hair within the first month or two. Continued improvements in body composition, muscle gain, mood, sex drive and more kick in around months 3-6 as your hormone balance optimizes.
