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 levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and health issues. HGH therapy involving injections of bioidentical growth hormone can help raise hormone levels back to a youthful range.
When HGH levels are optimized, patients can experience benefits such as:
Experiencing low energy, increase body fat, loss of muscle mass, thinner skin, and other common signs of aging does not necessarily mean you have a true growth hormone deficiency. Accurately diagnosing the condition involves thorough lab testing and analysis.
At Renewed Balance Clinic in Marthasville, we provide advanced hormone blood tests to measure IGF-1 and growth hormone levels. Evaluating these lab results allow our experienced hormone doctors to determine if GH therapy is appropriate for you.
Conditions that can lead to insufficient growth hormone production include:
- Tumors - non-cancerous lesions near pituitary gland - Injury - from head trauma or radiation therapy - Infection - inflammation disrupts hormone production
- Rare genetic conditions present at birth
- Develops over time due to aging process
Renewed Balance Clinic provides pharmaceutical grade HGH injections and effectively customizes treatment plans to meet each patient's unique needs and health goals.
The general process for starting growth hormone therapy is:
HGH shots are injected subcutaneously, similar to insulin injections, on a frequent basis to maintain stable hormone blood levels. Treatment plans can vary from daily injections to several times per week depending on the preparation.
Our knowledgeable medical team provides HGH injection training to ensure patients understand proper injection techniques, rotation of sites, and safe storage/handling of growth hormone. We also supply all necessary injection supplies.
Patients undergoing HGH therapy through Renewed Balance Clinic enjoy many benefits when their growth hormone levels are restored to an optimal range, including:
* Boosting protein synthesis and nitrogen retention promotes muscle growth * Greater strength boosts workout capacity promoting further muscle gains
* HGH enhances fat metabolism - using it for energy versus storing it * Notably reduces dangerous visceral belly fat
* Stimulates osteoblasts - cells that build bone tissue * Decreases risk of osteoporosis
* Thicker dermal layer with enhanced collagen content * Minimizes wrinkles and skin sagging * Healing of wounds/injuries accelerated
* Improves blood lipid profiles * Enhances heart function * Increased exercise capacity
Additional benefits can include improved mood and cognitive function, better sleep quality, enhanced libido, and higher energy levels.
While often associated with illegal sports doping, HGH therapy can be used for legitimate medical reasons. A landmark 1990 study showed injections of growth hormone could help children deficient in it grow normally to a near-adult height, a benefit that lasts well into adulthood.
The natural decrease of HGH levels starts between ages 20-30. The cumulative effects of declining growth hormone over years can negatively impact quality of life and increase disease risks.
Therefore, adults with suspected hormone imbalance should get tested promptly rather than taking a "wait and see" approach. Supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms sooner rather than later is key.
