Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate growth, metabolism, and body composition. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to unwanted symptoms. HGH therapy involves supplementing lower hormone levels to help alleviate these age-related declines.
When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy offers a variety of benefits:
* HGH helps burn stubborn belly fat that diet and exercise alone cannot tackle * Leads to leaner physique and more sculpted appearance
* Builds and maintains muscle mass leading to more strength * Perfect for protecting against age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)
* Shown to improve bone mineral density * May help prevent osteoporosis for lifelong strong bones
* Many patients feel more energetic, focused, and motivated on HGH * Leads to improvements in exercise capacity and endurance
* Thickens the dermis layer of skin leading to a more youthful appearance * Stimulates hair regrowth for thicker, shinier hair
* Correcting HGH declines can help restore a lagging libido * Leads to enhanced sexual performance and satisfaction
Below we will explore the causes of HGH deficiency, detail which patients make good candidates for HGH replacement therapy, and elaborate on the customized protocols offered at Vitality Balance Clinic.
There are several potential reasons why patients experience declining HGH levels, including:
* As part of the natural aging process, HGH secretion drops 14% per decade after age 30 * By age 60, most adults secrete 75% less HGH compared to young adults
* Benign tumors on the pituitary gland can impair natural HGH production * Specialists must screen for and monitor pituitary health
* Injuries causing damage to areas of the brain integral for HGH release * Concussions especially shown to disrupt normal pituitary function
* Hypothyroidism and sex hormone imbalances negatively impact HGH * Must screen thyroid, testosterone, and estrogen levels
Patients exhibiting several of the following signs and symptoms are likely good candidates for HGH replacement therapy:
* Increased body fat, especially around the waistline * Muscle loss and weakness impacting daily function * Hair thinning and loss of luster * Dry, thinning skin with new wrinkles
* Chronic fatigue, lack of motivation, and mental fogginess * Depression, sadness, and mood changes * Decreased libido and less frequent intercourse
* Cardiovascular disease risk factors * Insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes * Dyslipidemia with high LDL and triglycerides
* Osteopenia or osteoporosis * Joint pain and stiffness impairing mobility * Longer recovery times after illness or injury

While often associated with athletes and anti-aging clinics, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency, allowing them to attain normal heights and body proportions that would have otherwise been unattainable.
