Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate growth, metabolism, and other bodily processes. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, which can lead to undesirable effects like weight gain, loss of muscle mass and strength, decreased energy, and impacts on skin, hair, sleep, cholesterol, bone density, and more.
HGH therapy involves supplementing with bioidentical human growth hormone to restore levels back to a healthier range, thereby helping to reverse or reduce age-related symptoms and some signs of aging. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy can provide a multitude of benefits.
Restoring HGH to more youthful levels through hormone replacement therapy can provide impressive benefits including:
The key is reaching an optimal level tailored to your individual needs so that you enjoy rejuvenating benefits without side effects. Our experienced hormone doctors can help determine the right protocol just for you after thoroughly evaluating your health, risk factors, lifestyle and goals.
Declining HGH is a natural part of aging. However true growth hormone deficiency manifests in more pronounced symptoms that negatively impact quality of life.
Common signs of HGH deficiency include:
Diagnosing true HGH deficiency requires specific blood tests to accurately measure IGF-1 and growth hormone levels. IGF-1 provides the most reliable indicator of HGH status.
Provocative testing may also be recommended which stimulates pituitary release of stored HGH to assess reserve capacity. Our clinic utilizes the most advanced hormone testing procedures to uncover any deficiencies.
If testing confirms clinically low HGH, our highly skilled hormone doctors will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan using bioidentical growth hormone. There are a few approaches we may use:
Most commonly, HGH therapy involves daily subcutaneous injections, typically before bed when natural growth hormone release peaks. Starting doses average 1-3IU per day depending on your needs and are slowly titrated over months based on follow-up testing and symptom improvements.
Sustained-release HGH provides another option which allows for less frequent injections such as once weekly or up to once monthly for some patients. These preparations utilize technologies to gradually release growth hormone into the body.
Secretagogues act on the pituitary to stimulate your own natural HGH production. These may be used alone or alongside growth hormone injections. Our integrative protocols employ secretagogues to enhance results and require less exogenous HGH over time.
Other hormone or nutritional deficiencies commonly accompany HGH decline. We will check and address low testosterone, estrogen, melatonin, and more plus optimize vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and other key nutrients to amplify benefits.
Quality sleep, regular exercise, stress management, and healthy nutrition all support HGH therapy. Our doctors provide customized lifestyle, dietary and supplement recommendations catered to your needs. Follow-up care helps ensure you achieve full benefits long-term.

When prescribed by an endocrinologist and closely monitored, it can help children reach an average adult height they would not attain naturally.
