Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth and development, especially in childhood. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, which can lead to changes in body composition, energy levels, bone density, muscle strength, skin thickness and elasticity, lipid metabolism, and more.
HGH therapy involves supplementing low levels of growth hormone using bioidentical HGH to help counteract some of these age-related changes. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy can provide a variety of benefits:
However, HGH therapy is not for everyone and requires careful medical evaluation to determine candidacy. Balance Hormone Clinic provides comprehensive hormone testing and assessments to determine if HGH therapy is appropriate. Our outstanding physicians specialize in hormone therapies and stay up to date on the latest research to design customized treatment plans utilizing high quality bioidentical hormones tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Since low HGH levels develop gradually with age, diagnosing a true growth hormone deficiency requires specialized blood tests. The best approach is to get a panel of relevant hormone levels, including IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 which indicate how much HGH your body is producing over time. Balance Hormone Clinic utilizes top-quality labs for the most reliable test results.
Symptoms that may indicate an HGH deficiency include:
However, many people develop an HGH deficiency without obvious symptoms at first. Getting tested ensures any deficiency gets addressed promptly before complications arise. Our outstanding physicians can accurately interpret results and determine if HGH therapy is advisable.
Addressing an HGH deficiency early on allows patients to regain optimal wellness and slow aging. Muscle, bone density, skin quality, sexual health, and other aspects affected by low HGH levels can deteriorate over time if left untreated. Prompt treatment can help:
In some cases, the benefits of HGH therapy increase when addressed sooner. Balance Hormone Clinic provides cutting-edge therapies to help patients address hormone deficiencies early for optimal outcomes.
If testing reveals inadequate HGH levels, Balance Hormone Clinic physicians develop customized HGH therapy protocols to restore healthy function.
Proper HGH therapy involves daily injections of bioidentical human growth hormone using small needles similar to insulin injections. Our doctors determine appropriate dosing based on each patient’s unique deficit level, health status, and treatment goals. Ongoing blood testing helps calibrate doses to maintain optimal HGH levels long-term without adverse side effects.
We educate patients on proper injection techniques, needle size, rotation of sites, safe storage, side effect precautions, and expected timelines for benefits. Most patients transition smoothly onto HGH therapy with our support.
