Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an vital role in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH production declines substantially for most people, leading to signs of aging and health issues. HGH therapy can help counteract decreasing HGH levels using bioidentical growth hormone injections. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy offers a variety of benefits.
Declining HGH levels commonly lead to noticeable health effects. Potential signs and symptoms of growth hormone deficiency in adults include:
If multiple deficiency signs are present, HGH testing is recommended to measure current IGF-1 and growth hormone levels. A diagnosis can then guide appropriate treatment options.
HGH therapy aims to restore youthful growth hormone levels through subcutaneous injections. HGH is a complex protein hormone made in FDA-approved laboratories under tightly controlled conditions. The synthetic bioidentical HGH precisely matches natural growth hormone composition.
When injected using small needles into fat under the skin, the HGH enters the bloodstream and travels to organs throughout the body just as in youth. This stimulates cell growth and regeneration processes that reverse declining function. Correcting the hormone imbalance reactivates vital physical and mental capacities affected by aging.
Patients undergoing supervised HGH replacement therapy enjoy a wide array of benefits including:
The degree and speed of improvements depends on the treatment regimen, lifestyle habits, and consistency of growth hormone therapy over the long-term. Patients feel gradually increasing vitality, daily functioning, and youthfulness when protocols are properly followed under experienced medical guidance.
Beginning an individualized HGH program through Balance Hormone Clinic requires accurate blood analysis, medical history and physical examination, consideration of risk factors, and doctor-patient discussion of objectives. A detailed treatment plan is then developed for the person’s needs and priorities.
The standard process for self-administering injections is: 1. Wash hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap 2. Wipe injection site with alcohol pad 3. Gently pinch skin around site 4. Insert needle fully into skin at 90 degree angle 5. Inject HGH dose slowly into subcutaneous fat 6. Hold for 5-10 seconds before removing needle 7. Use clean bandage over site if desired
Injections are typically performed daily, most often before bedtime. This mimics the natural pulsatile pattern of youthful growth hormone release. Precise timing is continued long-term.
While often associated with performance enhancement, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 to treat growth hormone deficiency in children. When given for legitimate medical reasons under doctor supervision, HGH can help normalize growth and metabolism without significant side effects.
Due to HGH’s ubiquitous effects throughout the body, growth hormone decline contributes to many unwanted aging symptoms. The gradual adverse changes also set the stage for chronic diseases. As deficiencies worsen over years, reversing the downward spiral becomes more difficult.
This highlights the value of early detection through lab tests and initiating hormone therapy under a qualified anti-aging physician’s supervision when medically indicated. Consistent long-term treatment tailored to the individual optimizes benefits. Ongoing monitoring also helps modification of HGH dosing as the months and years progress.
