Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH production declines substantially, leading to a growth hormone deficiency that can negatively impact energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, skin thickness, lipid profiles, sexual function, and more.
HGH therapy involves supplemental injections of biosynthetic human growth hormone to restore hormone levels to a youthful state. This can produce transformative improvements in body composition by increasing lean muscle mass and bone density while decreasing body fat. It can also enhance exercise capacity, energy, healing ability, heart function, mood, sleep quality, hair and skin health.
Benefits of Growth Hormone Replacement
It's clear that maintaining sufficient HGH levels, especially through hormone replacement therapy, can lead to impressive transformations in health, body composition, and vitality.
Since production of HGH declines as part of the natural aging process, hormone replacement is often appropriate for adults over 30 exhibiting deficiency symptoms. Common signs include:
Confirming a growth hormone deficiency requires diagnostic blood tests measuring IGF-1 and growth hormone levels directly. Provocative testing through insulin tolerance or arginine stimulation tests can also indicate impaired pituitary gland function.
MRI scans of the pituitary may reveal abnormalities in gland size or structure. Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans can diagnose reductions in bone density. A comprehensive health evaluation alongside hormone testing allows for an accurate diagnosis of HGH deficiency.
Once diagnosed with low growth hormone, HGH injections are the standard treatment approach. Unlike supplements that stimulate marginal, temporary increases in HGH at best, injections supply your body with actual bioidentical growth hormone to restore levels directly.
While self-injected, the injection process is simple. Our advisors provide clear instructions for preparing, mixing, injecting and storing HGH. Most report the adjustable injections cause little to no discomfort.

Although HGH therapy is often pursued to counteract aging, one little-known benefit is that it can aid bone healing in cases of severe fractures or injuries that fail to mend on their own. By spurring tissue growth, HGH helps regenerate bone cells and strengthen areas of bone weakness or damage.

For exercise, training partners, and community throughout your growth hormone therapy, take advantage of regional gems like:
Aging inevitably involves declining hormone production that erodes health, fitness and wellbeing over time. Growth hormone deficiency exacerbates this decline while increasing risks for obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease and other chronic illnesses.
HGH therapy offers a proven way to reverse this descent by restoring growth hormone blood levels to youthful states. This leads to dramatic enhancements in body composition, energy, sexual health, healing, heart function and emotional wellness.
Given the immense benefits possible, we strongly advise adults noticing potential deficiency symptoms or simply wishing to prolong optimal health to consider treatment. $5,000 - $10,000 per year provides a small price to pay for what is possible in terms of physical, emotional and even financial returns on investment.
