Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate growth, metabolism, and other bodily functions. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, contributing to common signs of aging like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, low energy, and reduced immunity.
HGH therapy involves supplementing low hormone levels to help alleviate these deficiency symptoms. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy can provide anti-aging and metabolic benefits leading to improved health, vitality, and quality of life.
Below we will explore the basics of HGH, its benefits, what to expect from treatment, and how New Beginnings HRT Clinic can help Point Pleasant residents determine if HGH therapy is right for them.
HGH stands for human growth hormone. Also known as somatotropin, it is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in growth and development.
HGH helps regulate:
In youth and early adulthood, HGH production is high, contributing to rapid growth and developmental milestones. After age 30, HGH levels steadily decline by 10-15% per decade, leading to common signs of aging.
Since HGH impacts so many bodily processes, decreased levels can produce noticeable health effects including:
If low HGH is left untreated over long periods, these effects can worsen and raise risks for serious medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and fracture. That's why identifying and treating hormone deficiencies early on is so important for protecting long-term health.
When low HGH is properly supplemented under medical guidance, many of the symptoms above can be improved or reversed. Compared to the general population, patients receiving HGH therapy commonly experience:
- 8-15% gains in lean body mass - Increased muscle strength and exercise capacity
- 14% average reduction in total body fat - Targeted loss of belly fat
- 3-4% increase in bone mineral density
- 75% increase in energy levels - Improved motivation, cognitive focus and mood - Better sleep quality
- 30-50% fewer colds and respiratory infections - Faster recovery from illness/injury - Reduced inflammation
- Decreased LDL and triglycerides - Increased healthy HDL
- Increased libido and performance - Improved intimacy and relationships
- Improved body composition - Increased activity levels - Reduced risk factors for disease - Better physical capability and independence
So in summary, properly administered HGH therapy can help alleviate deficiency symptoms, reverse signs of aging, reduce disease risks, enhance physique and performance, and promote healthy longevity.
If you're considering HGH therapy, understanding the basics of treatment will help set accurate expectations.
The first step is diagnostic testing to confirm an HGH deficiency. This involves a blood draw to measure current IGF-1 levels supplemented by secondary tests for deficiencies in other key hormones like testosterone or thyroid that may be impacting HGH.
New Beginnings HRT Clinic provides advanced hormone testing and analysis to accurately assess hormone levels and determine if HGH therapy is advisable.
Pharmaceutical-grade HGH is precisely measured and injected daily to restore hormones to youthful levels tailored to your individual needs and goals. This allows the benefits of treatment to accumulate gradually over 6-12 months.
There are also natural HGH boosters than can help amplify your body's own growth hormone production for those looking to enhance existing levels rather than directly supplementing HGH. New Beginnings HRT Clinicians help patients weigh these options.
Valid HGH therapy requires regular followups and blood testing to evaluate progress, watch for side effects, and adjust dosing to balance safety and results. This oversight is critical for successful long-term treatment.
While often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH therapy originated as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency to help them attain normal height. Today it remains an FDA-approved treatment for disorders like short stature and muscle wasting, though its use for other conditions remains more controversial.
