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 regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH production declines leading to undesirable effects.
HGH therapy involves supplementing the decreased hormone to restore optimal levels, providing anti-aging and metabolic benefits. Proper HGH levels are essential at any age to maintain a youthful body composition, bone/muscle health, vigorous energy, sharp mental functioning and quality of life.
If experiencing several of these symptoms, an HGH deficiency is likely present. The earlier this is addressed, the better the treatment outcomes will be.
There are two types of HGH therapy: recombinant HGH injections or stimulating natural release with a secretagogue spray.
Involves injecting biosynthetic HGH derived from yeast cells under the skin daily. This directly elevates blood levels achieving peak values in about 4 hours then slowly declining over 24 hours before the next dose. It mimics the body's natural growth hormone release.
Benefits: Most physiological effects, strictly controls HGH levels
Downsides: Daily injections, doesn't stimulate natural production, small risk of side effects, very expensive
Stimulates the pituitary to secrete larger growth hormone amounts using ingredients like amino acids, vitamins, and herbal extracts. Simply spray orally 3 times daily.
Benefits: Convenient oral use, encourages natural production, fewer potential side effects, more affordable
Downsides: Less dramatic effects, varying HGH spikes, multiple daily doses needed
We offer both injection and secretagogue spray HGH therapy protocols to suit each patient's lifestyle needs and budget while optimizing treatment.
Though often associated with athletes and performance enhancement, a little-known use of HGH therapy is to help children with growth hormone deficiency grow to normal heights. When used properly and under medical supervision, HGH can help these children reach average heights they may not have without treatment.
Our clinic's HGH therapy protocol proceeds systematically through testing, consultation, treatment determination and follow-up monitoring for maximum safety and benefits.
Baseline hormone blood tests are crucial before initiating therapy to evaluate deficiency levels and rule out complications. We use cutting-edge analysis methods for precision results.
Tests check growth hormone, IGF-1 and binding proteins levels plus other pituitary hormones, thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones, proteins, blood counts, fasting glucose/lipids, liver/kidney function, etc.
Our experienced hormone doctors or mid-level practitioners carefully review the test results, health history and symptoms to create a customized treatment plan. They answer all questions and concerns ensuring patients understand the therapy process and realistic expectations.
Duration of treatment depends on severity of hormone decline, age, lifestyle and treatment goals ranging from 6-12 months. We re-evaluate periodically adjusting dosage/medications according to follow-up labs and patient feedback.
For injection regimens, clients will be taught proper injection techniques including safe needle handling, sanitizing skin, rotating sites, etc. We provide current Good Manufacturing Practice certified HGH from the most trusted pharmacies. Injections are done daily at home.
The secretagogue spray is used 3 times per day: morning, afternoon and bedtime. It's applied under the tongue allowing absorption into the bloodstream. Sprays are prescribed from high quality compounding pharmacies.
Blood tests are repeated at around 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months to assure healthy HGH and IGF-1 levels are achieved without adverse effects. Any concerning symptoms should be promptly reported to evaluate for needed dose adjustments.
Follow-up consultations will also assess progress in energy, body composition, sexual function, mood, cognitive abilities and overall wellbeing. Most patients notice significant improvements by 3-6 months.
Age-related growth hormone decline is inevitable but the effects can be slowed or reversed through HGH therapy. The key is identifying falling levels early before advanced deficiency develops maximizing the benefits.
The myriad of vague symptoms makes deficiency notoriously difficult to recognize. We screen for early signs using our HGH lab testing because obvious manifestations only appear in late stage impairment. Don't write off fatigue, sexual issues, or mental fog as normal aging!
Symptoms gradually worsen overtime as the deficit deepens eventually leading to disease. We help determine if inadequate HGH underlies health problems through proper testing.
Research confirms the critical nature of swift therapy initiation after low levels are found to halt the downward spiral maximizing overall outcomes.
In those with established deficiencies from pituitary tumors or trauma, prompt GH treatment is proven to reverse impairments and long term mortality risk. This likely applies to age-onset deficiency too - "a stitch in time saves nine".
Don't brush off troubling signs hoping they'll resolve spontaneously. Seek out hormone testing and follow recommendations before irreversible declines occur. Vitality Hormone Center uses state-of-the-art diagnostics and tailors prompt therapy.
