Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a key role in cell regeneration, tissue growth and healing, brain function, physical and mental health, and more. As we age, HGH production declines leading to undesirable effects. HGH therapy involves injecting bioidentical growth hormone to restore optimal levels, providing anti-aging and therapeutic benefits.
HGH has widespread effects throughout the body. Key roles include:
As you can see HGH truly is the “master hormone” that profoundly impacts health and function. Replacing falling levels can reverse undesirable age-related decline.
After peaking during the growth spurt of puberty, HGH production starts slowing by approximately 14% per decade from age 30 onward. This hormone loss underlies many unwanted effects associated with aging including:
Furthermore, growth hormone deficiency at any age can lead to significant health problems:
Restoring falling growth hormone levels can help reverse this age-related decline for improved health, function, and quality of life.
Since low HGH underlies many unwanted health effects, accurate testing is the first step toward treatment. Diagnosis of clinical growth hormone deficiency involves blood tests measuring IGF-1 levels. IGF-1 or insulin-like growth factor is stimulated by HGH to promote growth.
Lower than normal IGF-1 indicates your pituitary gland is not producing adequate HGH. A stimulating test can also be performed where medications prompting your pituitary to release HGH reveal any production issues.
Your Hormone Harmony Clinic specialist will order testing to accurately diagnose any growth hormone deficiency. We also check other hormone levels - including testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and DHEA - to uncover any other issues contributing to symptoms. Our experts skillfully piece together the hormone puzzle to create targeted treatment plans.
Once diagnosed, growth hormone injections can safely and effectively restore optimal levels. When delivered subcutaneously like insulin, bioidentical HGH reliably boosts blood concentrations for full activity.
The many benefits of HGH therapy include:
Along with feeling younger and healthier, renewed energy and zest for life is a common benefit of growth hormone therapy.
HGH is approved for use alongside rehabilitation after hip fractures or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee repairs. By stimulating tissue repair and rapid rebuilding of bone and muscle, HGH delivers:
HGH also appears highly useful for healing sports injuries, overuse damage, or degenerative joint issues. Hormone Harmony Clinic tailors complementary treatments like platelet rich plasma therapy to further accelerate healing.
Since falling HGH underlies inflammation and immune dysfunction, growth hormone therapy shows therapeutic potential for certain chronic illnesses including:
By reducing inflammation and autoimmunity while supporting tissue regeneration, HGH offers an innovative treatment approach for these complex conditions.
After thorough testing confirms a growth hormone deficiency, our clinics craft custom treatment plans for your unique needs. We utilize pure bioidentical HGH identical to the natural hormone made in your pituitary. This ensures full effectiveness and safety.
Prior to starting, your Hormone Harmony Clinic specialist will:
We typically start growth hormone therapy using a low dose of approximately 1 I.U. This allows your body to adjust avoiding side effects like joint pain or swelling. After 2-4 weeks, we increase the dosage depending on follow-up IGF-1 blood testing until achieving optimal levels.
Most patients use 1-3 I.U. per day delivered before bed when HGH release naturally peaks. This dosage restores levels to a youthful range without overdoing treatment. Therapy is self-administered via simple subcutaneous injections using an ultra-fine needle.
Duration of growth hormone therapy is highly individualized but often sustained to maintain benefits. Think of it like thyroid medication by supplying what your body lacks. We teach you to self-monitor progress through labs, symptom checks, or body composition tracking.
By working closely with your care team to tailor and monitor your therapy, HGH offers profound anti-aging and restorative effects. Consistency is key - when injected routinely growth hormone reliably builds muscle, burns fat, and reverses declining output from your pituitary.
