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 regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to numerous undesirable effects.
Symptoms of HGH deficiency in adults may include decreased muscle mass, increased body fat (especially abdominal fat), hair loss, fine lines and wrinkles, fatigue, decreased bone density leading to osteoporosis, decreased exercise performance and endurance, and impaired cardiac function. Restoring depleted HGH levels through injections can provide immense benefits.
Diagnosing growth hormone deficiency involves blood tests to measure IGF-1 and growth hormone levels, often after stimulation tests with medications like arginine, clonidine, glucagon, or insulin. These tests help determine if the pituitary gland is producing adequate amounts of HGH.
Receiving HGH injections after being diagnosed with clinically low IGF-1 and growth hormone levels can provide transformative improvements in energy, body composition, bone health, cardiovascular function, immunity, cholesterol levels, skin thickness and elasticity, sexual function, and mental health.
An endocrinologist will determine the optimal dosage and schedule based on your deficiency levels, age, and objectives. Most protocols start with low doses (1-2 IU) injected daily, with titration upwards over 3-6 months. Taking growth hormone releasing peptides may also be recommended.
Ongoing blood tests to monitor IGF-1 levels are key, as excessive HGH can cause side effects. Nutrition and fitness adjustments are also part of comprehensive treatment plans.
We recommend these excellent local businesses to support your therapy:
Decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, low sperm count, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, irritability, depression, fatigue, poor concentration, insomnia, hot flashes, loss of body and facial hair.
Diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis risks also increase. Restoring testosterone levels reverses these declines.
If blood tests confirm clinically low testosterone, TRT can be life-changing. Testosterone treatment methods include:
Monitoring progress via follow-up blood tests is key. Adequate vitamin D levels also support healthy testosterone levels and treatment efficacy. We offer complete TRT support.
If you exhibit multiple symptoms of hormone deficiency, prompt clinical diagnosis and treatment is essential, rather than trying unproven supplements. Deficiencies will worsen over time, with increased risks of disease. Our clinic provides fully comprehensive diagnosis and treatment support.
Restoring hormones to optimal levels can reverse decades of deterioration remarkably quickly - most patients see benefits within 3-6 weeks. Consistency is key - the chronic nature of hormone deficiencies necessitates continued therapy.
With treatment, most patients report feeling “at least 10 years younger” with “unending energy, stamina and mental clarity.” Our patients always come first, so we tailor fully individualized treatment plans and provide ongoing support. We would be honored to have you as part of our clinic family.
While often associated with illegal doping and bodybuilding, HGH injections are also increasingly prescribed for anti-aging purposes and can help strengthen bones, improve skin elasticity, enhance mood, and boost immunity in aging adults with natural growth hormone decline.
Our clinic is conveniently located in the lovely lakeside town of Pearcy, Arkansas which lies on the shores of Lake Ouachita. Surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest, Pearcy offers incredible natural beauty and year-round outdoor recreation.
The sunny climate provides over 240 days annually perfect for hiking, water sports, golf, fishing and more. The fall and winter months are ideal times to start treatment since sunlight exposure boosts vitamin D and treatment efficacy.
