Human growth hormone (HGH) is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to numerous signs and symptoms associated with aging such as decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, low energy, reduced immunity and impaired sexual function.
HGH therapy involves injecting bioidentical human growth hormone to restore hormone levels back to a youthful range. Benefits of HGH therapy include:
HGH therapy can help reverse some of the effects of aging when levels are optimized under medical supervision. It is one of the most effective anti-aging and hormone treatments available today.
The first step is to get tested by an experienced HGH doctor to determine if you have growth hormone deficiency. The following symptoms may indicate low HGH:
Specific lab tests are required to accurately diagnose a growth hormone deficiency, including:
| Test | Purpose |
|---|---|
| IGF-1 levels | Measures the amount of IGF-1, a marker of HGH production |
| Growth Hormone Stimulation Test | Evaluates the pituitary gland's ability to produce HGH |
| Free T3, Free T4, TSH | Assesses thyroid function, which can impact HGH levels |
| Testosterone levels | Checks for testosterone deficiency in men |
| Estradiol, FSH, LH | Evaluates hormone levels in women |
| Comprehensive metabolic panel | Provides an overview of organ function and metabolism |
| Complete blood count | Checks for anemia and other blood disorders |
| Lipid panel | Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels |
| Vitamin D levels | Assesses vitamin D status, which is important for overall health |
Based on clinical symptoms and hormone testing results, an experienced HGH doctor can determine if HGH therapy may help improve wellbeing and slow signs of aging.
Once diagnosed with low growth hormone, our HGH doctors will design a customized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
| Treatment | Description |
|---|---|
| HGH injections | Most effective method to restore GH levels. Administered daily at night. |
| Sermorelin | Stimulates natural GH production. Given via subcutaneous injections. |
| Ipamorelin | Selective GH releasing peptide given by injection. |
| Nutritional optimization | Certain amino acids support GH release. |
| Exercise | High intensity interval training boosts GH naturally. |
| Stress reduction | Chronic stress suppresses GH secretion. |
HGH therapy requires close medical monitoring to optimize dosing and watch for side effects. Follow-up testing includes IGF-1 levels, metabolic panels, thyroid function, testosterone, estradiol, prostate markers, and comprehensive blood counts.
