Human growth hormone (HGH) is a key hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and an increased risk of disease. HGH therapy involves supplementing declining HGH levels to restore vitality, improve body composition, enhance physical and mental performance, strengthen the immune system and possibly even reverse aspects of aging.
Maintaining optimal HGH levels becomes especially important as we enter middle age and beyond. Whether due to natural decline or injury/trauma to the pituitary, falling HGH leaves us vulnerable to:
HGH therapy is recommended for adults with HGH deficiency signs whose blood tests confirm this diagnosis. Some signs of HGH deficiency in adults include:
HGH therapy may significantly improve these deficiency symptoms, enhance physical and mental performance, strengthen immunity, reduce disease risk factors and possibly extend healthy lifespan.
While blood tests cannot diagnose deficiency on their own, very low IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) and elevated HGH levels after stimulation testing are strongly indicative. Testing protocols at our Hormone Health Institute include:
If testing confirms HGH deficiency, Hormone Health Instituteians can prescribe appropriate therapy including HGH injections after discussing lifestyle factors that may have contributed like diet, sleep deprivation, excess alcohol/drug use or certain medications.
HGH therapy aims to restore IGF-1 levels to a healthy range (typically between 200-500 ng/dL depending on patient age and gender). At Hormone Health Institute, precise dosing is determined for each patient based on:
After signing consent forms, patients undergo instruction on preparing and self-administering daily HGH injections. Starting doses average 1-3 IU (international units) depending on individual needs. IGF-1 lab testing is repeated after 4-6 weeks of therapy to check progress, then every 6 months. Clinicians adjust HGH dosage over time to balance benefits against potential side effects.
HGH therapy requires discipline for daily injections, but modern protocols make this straightforward with handy pen devices. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH offers outstanding benefits for aging adults with good safety profile.
Despite being controversial, HGH therapy has shown promise for treating muscle wasting in AIDS patients. In one study, patients gaining an average of 8.8 lbs of lean body mass after 12 weeks of HGH treatment. This unexpected benefit suggests potential for HGH to help counteract disease-related muscle loss.
