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 during childhood and adolescence. However, even after we are grown, HGH continues to have vital functions related to metabolism, body composition, bone health, and more.
What Does HGH Do in the Body?
As we age, natural HGH production tends to decline, leading to a growth hormone deficiency. This can cause various symptoms and adverse effects:
Fortunately there are options available today for improving declining HGH levels. HGH therapy utilizing bioidentical growth hormones offers an innovative approach to alleviate deficiency symptoms and restore wellness.
Bioidentical hormones have the exact same chemical makeup as the hormones naturally made by human bodies. Pharmaceutical companies are now able to develop hormones that are completely identical on a molecular level to endogenous human hormones through advanced biotechnology processes.
When prescribed properly and supervised closely by a knowledgeable hormone therapy specialist, bioidentical HGH therapy is safe and extremely effective for improving wellness. The wide range of benefits include:
With all of these wide-ranging benefits for well-being and vitality, it is easy to understand the rising popularity of HGH therapy.
When an HGH deficiency is identified through blood testing and confirmed to be causing adverse symptoms, HGH injections offer a proven way to restore optimal hormone levels. Let's explore the basics of growth hormone therapy...
While oral supplements advertised as HGH boosters may claim to increase growth hormone production, they lack definitive evidence and are not a substitute for doctor-prescribed HGH injections which provide real, bioidentical growth hormones directly into the body.
HGH injections utilize specialized pen devices designed for patient convenience and accuracy. Working closely with a doctor, dosage can be adjusted specifically to meet customized needs and goals.
While treatment approaches can vary on an individual basis, a general HGH therapy protocol often entails:
Medical studies confirm the safety of doctor-managed HGH therapy for deficiency when properly utilized. With diligent testing and monitoring, side effects are minimized for excellent patient outcomes.

Studies show HGH therapy may help improve bone mineral density and increase lean muscle mass in older adults. However, it does not seem to significantly impact muscle strength or physical function overall for most people. More research is still needed on its long-term efficacy and safety.

There are several possible reasons for declining growth hormone production, including:
Pinpointing the root causes through testing allows for more targeted, effective treatment.
Because low HGH levels can be tricky to recognize based on symptoms alone, laboratory blood analysis provides the most definitive method for confirming a growth hormone deficiency.
Two key lab tests offer insight:
These serum blood tests along with a complete medical history, physical examination, evaluation of risk factors and discussion of goals allows our experienced practitioners to diagnose a deficiency. Follow-up testing continually guides treatment.
