Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH production declines substantially, leading to signs of aging and disease.
HGH therapy involves supplementing declining levels to restore hormone balance. When administered correctly under medical supervision, HGH offers powerful anti-aging and wellness benefits.
Growth hormone deficiency can occur at any age and has adverse effects on metabolic function, body composition, bone integrity, cardiovascular health, immunity, skin health, cholesterol levels, mental health and quality of life.
Treating deficiency involves restoring HGH levels to a healthy range using bioidentical growth hormone injections. Major benefits include:
HGH therapy should only be administered under medical supervision after blood tests confirm a true growth hormone deficiency.
Since symptoms of low HGH can be nonspecific or mimic other conditions, accurate testing is the only way to confirm true deficiency.
Common deficiency symptoms in adults include:
Our clinic conducts a thorough history, physical exam and medical workup to uncover the root cause, which may involve:
When medically indicated and properly administered, growth hormone therapy offers a range of benefits for aging adults:
- Smoother, firmer, youthful-appearing skin - Reduced wrinkles and age spots - Thicker, shinier, healthier hair - Stimulates collagen production - Tightened loose skin (jowls, neck, abdomen) - Enhanced physical appearance and vitality
- Improved mood and sense of wellbeing - Increased motivation and zest for life - Heightened mental clarity and focus - Better memory recall and cognition - Deeper, more restful sleep - Improved emotional stability - Increased libido and sexual performance
- Stimulates cell growth and regeneration - Bolsters structure/function of organs - Increases protein synthesis ( nitrogen retention) - Enhanced oxygen uptake in cells - Healthier nerve conduction - Slowed cellular aging
There are two types of FDA-approved growth hormone therapies: recombinant HGH and HGH secretagogues. Our clinic specializes in recombinant therapy tailored to each patient's needs and goals.
Humatrope, Norditropin, Genotropin and Saizen are FDA-approved brands of synthetic 191-amino acid HGH that is bio-identical to natural growth hormone. It comes in injectable vials or pens for subcutaneous injection, typically daily at bedtime.
We develop personalized recombinant HGH regimens based on dosage, frequency, timing and length of treatment. Positive effects may begin in the first weeks or months of therapy. We monitor your progress, safety and blood levels throughout treatment.
Secretagogues like sermorelin or ipamorelin are shorter amino acid chains that help boost your own natural HGH production. They may be used alone or with growth hormone injections.
Recombinant HGH injections remain the gold standard for treating diagnosed deficiencies. Secretagogues alone often fail to raise IGF-1 levels enough to correct deficiency. We use them strategically based on your case, needs and budget.
While often associated with illegal performance enhancement, HGH therapy is actually approved to treat children with growth disorders and adults with muscle-wasting diseases. When used legitimately under medical supervision, it can help normalize growth and preserve muscle mass in those with deficiencies.
