Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland. As we age, HGH production declines, leading to a growth hormone deficiency. Signs and symptoms of an HGH deficiency include:
Getting tested for low growth hormone levels through a simple blood test is important for both men and women experiencing any of these deficiency signs.
HGH therapy involves supplementation with synthetic human growth hormone to bring levels back up to an optimal range. Benefits of HGH replacement include:
HGH therapy involves subcutaneous injections, typically administered 3-5 times per week. Treatment is overseen by an experienced hormone specialist to ensure optimal and safe dosing tailored to the individual.
Frequent lab testing enables close monitoring of IGF-1 and other hormone levels in order to calibrate the HGH dosage over time. Therapy normally continues for 6-12 months depending on the patient's deficiency symptoms and goals.
To complement HGH injections, we also recommend lifestyle measures including improved diet, exercise, and stress management. With comprehensive treatment, most patients report significant benefits within 2-4 months.
Recognizing and treating a hormone imbalance early is key to preventing long-term health consequences. An untreated growth hormone deficiency can negatively impact many body systems and accelerate the aging process.
By replenishing your HGH levels through timely replacement therapy, you can restore optimal function, improve wellbeing and quality of life, and slow down aging.
Don't put off getting tested if you have any symptoms of low HGH production. Our Denver clinic specializes in advanced hormone testing and personalized treatment plans.
While often associated with performance enhancement or anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency in children. When given for legitimate medical reasons under a doctor's supervision, HGH can help kids with growth issues reach normal height and development.
