Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels decline significantly, leading to undesirable effects. Supplementing declining HGH levels through HGH therapy provides immense anti-aging and performance benefits.
There are several reasons HGH production drops off, including:
By age 60, HGH levels decrease by up to 85% compared to young adults. This accelerated decline leads to undesirable age-related symptoms.
In those with growth hormone deficiency, clinical HGH therapy with somatropin injections can:
Since low HGH levels mimic normal aging, clinical diagnosis is essential through blood tests and medical examination.
While nonspecific to growth hormone deficiency, common symptoms include:
Accurately measuring HGH requires dynamic tests since levels fluctuate. Common methods include:
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
| IGF-1 Test | Blood test measures IGF-1 levels stimulated by HGH |
| Insulin Tolerance Test | Involves injection of insulin to trigger GH release |
| Arginine Stimulation Test | Amino acid arginine prompts pituitary to secrete GH |
| GHRH-Arginine Test | GHRH injection arginine induces GH secretion |
Those with risk factors or symptoms of GH deficiency should get tested:
Early detection and timely treatment of hormone imbalance provides better health outcomes. Our specialized physicians at Revive Wellness evaluate hormone levels and help diagnose deficiencies.
For those diagnosed with clinically low IGF-1/GH levels, daily HGH injections prescribed by an endocrinologist or anti-aging doctor effectively restore youthful functioning.
There are a few options for bioidentical replacement therapy:
| Method | Details | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| HGH Injections | Inject with small needle into fat under skin | Daily injections |
| HGH Oral Spray | Absorbed via mouth mucosa | Multiple times per day |
| Transdermal HGH Patches | Continuous delivery through skin | Patches changed daily |
HGH injections are the most proven and effective method, providing precise dosing and controlled release into the bloodstream. Oral and transdermal HGH demonstrate poor absorption and bioavailability issues.
