Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline which can lead to unpleasant symptoms. Some symptoms of hormone deficiency include:

Those experiencing low energy, unexplained weight gain, loss of strength despite regular workouts, poor sleep and other symptoms of aging may benefit from testing to determine if HGH therapy is warranted. Growth hormone deficiencies can occur at nearly any age.
When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy is well tolerated by most patients with minimal risk. However some may experience symptoms like joint pain, swelling or nerve pain which generally resolve with dosage adjustments. Discuss your complete medical history with your health provider.
Some patients notice improved energy, sleep and mental clarity within the first couple weeks. However building lean tissue and seeing fat loss results takes longer - typically 2-3 months. Maximal benefits are seen around the 6 month mark. Consistency with your treatment schedule is key.
Injections are the only proven delivery method for growth hormone treatment as external methods like sprays and creams cannot effectively penetrate skin and tissue. There are some natural supplements to support your body’s own HGH production but they cannot correct a clinically diagnosed deficiency.
Skipping injections can slow or reverse progress so it’s imperative to stick to your prescribed protocol. If you miss or delay a dose, do NOT double up on the next one. Resume your normal schedule and if problems persist, contact your provider. Temporary flu-like symptoms can occur if too large a dose is you have additional questions about the benefits, process or what results you can expect from growth hormone therapy, the compassionate staff at Optimal Hormone Health Center is happy to provide answers during your consultation.
