HGH therapy - Vitality Hormone Clinic

What is Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and Why is it Important?

Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland. As the name suggests, HGH plays a crucial role in growth and cell regeneration. In children and adolescents, adequate HGH levels are essential for proper development and attaining full height potential. In adults, HGH regulates metabolism, maintains lean muscle and healthy body composition, enhances exercise performance, and supports immune function and bone/skin health.

HGH production naturally declines with age. By the time we reach our 40s or 50s, HGH levels may be half of what they were in our 20s. This reduction is thought to be partially responsible for age-related health decline. Restoring HGH levels helps counteract natural aging processes and has regenerative effects on the body. That is why HGH therapy is vital for health, wellness, and quality of life.

Why Pursue HGH Treatment?

• Alleviate HGH deficiency symptoms: Symptoms like increase in fat mass, reduced muscle mass, fatigue, gynecomastia, bone loss, anxiety, and decreased stamina often occur with growth hormone deficiency. HGH therapy effectively treats these troublesome symptoms.
• Improve health parameters: Growth hormone replacement in deficient adults has been proven to decrease fat mass, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, enhance exercise capacity, improve mood and sense of wellbeing.
• Promote longevity: Some research suggests growth hormone's regenerative properties may extend lifespan by up to 20% and reduce risk of cardiovascular events. This likely stems from HGH's benefits on body composition and metabolism.
• Improve cognitive function: HGH stimulates production of insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which is vital for brain function and development. In those with low IGF-1, HGH therapy may improve memory, information processing, and mood.
• Enhance libido and performance: By building lean muscle, reducing anxiety, and improving mood and energy, HGH helps rejuvenate vitality and sexuality for a better intimate relationship.

Clearly, growth hormone therapy offers immense benefits for health, function, longevity and quality of life.

HGH Treatment Basics

HGH is available in injectable form and should be physician prescribed. When using bioidentical growth hormone replacement, patients take daily HGH injections. After subcutaneous injection, HGH is released steadily mimicking natural physiology.

Different treatment protocols exist but commonly patients inject between 1 to 3 IU of HGH daily. Dosage depends on age, gender, medical history, deficiency severity and treatment goals. Duration of treatment is individualized but often long-term to maintain benefits.

HGH therapy is well tolerated if properly dosed. Early side effects are mild (bloating, joint pain, edema). These often resolve within weeks. With excessively high doses, more adverse effects may occur so proper dosing is important.

Why is Timely Treatment of Hormone Deficiency So Important?

If hormonal imbalances are left untreated, health and quality of life inevitably suffer. When key hormones like growth hormone decline, troubling symptoms manifest. Without correction, suboptimal hormone levels will accelerate disease processes like metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and exacerbate age-related deterioration. That is why timely treatment through hormone optimization is so vital.

The regenerative and protective effects of HGH offer hope to reverse or slow aspects of aging that diminish health and independence. Seniors who optimize HGH and other hormones extend healthspan and quality of life well into later decades. With profound benefits for body composition, strength, stamina, brain health, immune function, and vitality, HGH therapy is emerging as an essential component of integrative senior care.
