Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in maintaining health and vitality. As we age, hgh production declines leading to a growth hormone deficiency which can negatively impact quality of life.
Symptoms of HGH deficiency include:
Diagnosing growth hormone deficiency involves blood tests to measure IGF-1 and growth hormone levels as well as evaluating clinical symptoms. If low hormone levels are causing bothersome symptoms, hgh replacement therapy may be recommended.
Human growth hormone therapy offers a variety of benefits including:
Hgh injections can help restore growth hormone levels, leading to impressive benefits for health, fitness, and quality of life. Lifestyle changes are also important for optimizing results.
The process of beginning growth hormone therapy includes:
HGH dosage must be tailored to the individual based on factors like age, hormone levels, and treatment goals.
Most patients start with a fairly low hgh dosage (around 0.3-0.5 IU/day), which is gradually increased over months based on patient feedback and labwork.
Human growth hormone is administered via subcutaneous injection - injected into fat under skin - using very small needles.
Common HGH injection sites rotate between the:
HGH injections are typically taken 4-5 times per week, often before bedtime. Maintaining consistent timing of doses helps maximize growth hormone benefits.
It's important to monitor progress on hgh therapy via follow up lab testing and tracking of symptom improvements. Dosage adjustments may be necessary over the first months.
Anti-aging experts also recommend ongoing lab testing every 6 months while undergoing treatment to ensure ideal hormone balance is achieved and maintained long-term.
