Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, which can lead to a growth hormone deficiency. Common signs and symptoms of an HGH deficiency include:
Getting tested for low HGH levels is crucial, as an undiagnosed deficiency can increase your risk for various health issues. Timely treatment with HGH therapy can help reverse deficiency signs, improve wellbeing, and enhance quality of life.
Reasons for low HGH levels include:
If experiencing several deficiency symptoms, consult a doctor about testing your IGF-1 and growth hormone blood levels. This will reveal if they are lower than normal ranges for your age group.
Human growth hormone therapy involves regular injections of bioidentical HGH to restore hormone levels. When deficiency is properly treated, patients often enjoy outstanding benefits such as:
In summary, HGH therapy offers a broad range of anti-aging and restorative benefits. It can help reverse age-related declines, alleviate deficiency symptoms, improve body composition, enhance mood and sleep, restore skin and bone health, boost sexual function, increase energy levels, and speed post-injury healing.
Those with growth hormone deficiency signs plus confirmed low IGF-1 and HGH levels through blood analysis may be candidates for replacement therapy.
Here is an overview of starting the treatment protocol at our Balance & Renew Clinic:
HGH injections are self-administered 1-2 times per day, typically before bedtime. Our medical team determines the starting dosage for your treatment goals, age, hormone levels and other factors.
Nutrient testing also helps customize the program for your needs - those low in vitamin D, magnesium or other key nutrients receive repletion guidelines. Certain lifestyle measures like exercise, nutrition and stress reduction further support HGH therapy benefits.
Follow-up medical reassessments occur at periodic intervals such as 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment initiation. Testing IGF-1 blood levels helps gauge biological response and determine if any dosage adjustments are warranted to optimize treatment. Most patients enjoy benefits within the first month, which compound over 6-12 months therapy.
Since low HGH levels rarely cause obvious clinical symptoms early on, many adults suffer for years before proper diagnosis. As the deficiency worsens over time, disadvantageous changes in body composition occur like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, and bone mineral depletion. Declining cell regeneration also accelerates skin and tissue aging.
Treating an HGH deficiency early provides superior benefits before substantial musculoskeletal decline or advancement of aging effects. It also curbs elevated risks for obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue and even heart disease or stroke. Entering middle age years with optimized HGH levels also slows manifestations of menopause or andropause.
Our Balance & Renew Clinic specialists aim for early detection through advanced diagnostic testing. We also customize treatment plans to help restore lagging HGH levels long before severe deficiency develops. This supports peak wellness during prime of life years, enabling patients to look and feel their best.
While often associated with athletes and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 to treat children with growth hormone deficiency. When given for legitimate medical reasons under a doctor's supervision, HGH can help normalize growth and development in children unable to produce enough growth hormone on their own.
