Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in human development and health. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, resulting in changes associated with aging and lost vitality. HGH therapy involves supplementing lower HGH levels to help counteract age-related decline.
As we age, HGH production declines substantially, typically reaching less than half peak childhood levels by age 60. Low HGH can also be caused by:
Symptoms of HGH deficiency include increased body fat, muscle loss, bone thinning, mood problems, lack of energy and stamina, impaired healing, and lost skin elasticity.
Our specialized HGH therapy aims to raise growth hormone levels enough to alleviate deficiency symptoms and restore lost vitality associated with low HGH. Potential benefits include:
HGH stimulates increased protein production, allowing for muscle growth when combined with proper nutrition and exercise. Those using HGH therapy typically gain 4-10 pounds of lean muscle mass over a 6 month course of treatment. This can counter age-related sarcopenia (muscle loss).
Abdominal obesity is a hallmark symptom of growth hormone deficiency. Restoring HGH to youthful ranges triggers the breakdown of fat stores while reducing the activity of fat storing enzymes. This preferentially targets visceral belly fat.
HGH directly stimulates the cells responsible for bone formation, allowing for increased bone density. Low HGH is associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Optimizing levels can support skeletal health.
Treatment of HGH deficiency has been associated with increased aerobic capacity, improved oxygen uptake, and ability to sustain prolonged physical activity without rapid fatigue and recovery. HGH helps metabolic processes that fuel muscles.
Collagen and elastin fibers are responsible for keeping skin thick, supple and elastic. HGH boosts production of these skin proteins by fibroblast skin cells. This may counter wrinkles, sagging skin, and cellulite.
Lack of HGH is linked to fatigue, low motivation, and depression. In those experiencing hormone imbalance, restoring HGH can improve energy, mental focus and outlook within weeks. Sustaining motivation for work and fitness often becomes much easier.
Key signs that you may benefit from growth hormone therapy include:
Changes in body composition:
Reduced stamina and chronic fatigue:
Aging skin changes:
Emotional changes:

HGH therapy has shown promise for enhancing muscle and bone health in the elderly. In one study, men over 60 who took HGH for 6 months increased lean body mass by nearly 9% and decreased body fat by 14%, with no major side effects observed. The findings suggest HGH could help counter age-related declines, though more research is still needed.
In cases of clinical growth hormone deficiency, we may prescribe daily subcutaneous injections of bioidentical human growth hormone (somatropin). Starting doses average 0.3 to 0.5 mg injected before bed when natural HGH production peaks.
Doses start low and increase gradually based on lab work every 2 months showing patient response and adjusting to optimal ranges tailored to the individual. Potential benefits typically emerge within weeks and continue improving over a 6 month course of therapy.
For some patients, secretagogue medications can stimulate the pituitary gland to produce higher growth hormone levels naturally instead of direct injections. Two options include:
These daily subcutaneous injections can elevate lagging growth hormone levels enough to provide therapeutic benefits without suppressing the body's feedback mechanisms for natural production.
To maximize improvements from HGH therapy, making certain healthy lifestyle changes is key:
