HGH (also known as somatropin) is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the pituitary gland located in the brain.
If HGH levels are low and a doctor thinks you’d benefit from some replacement, we may prescribe HGH on a case-by-case basis, as part of a wider treatment program to optimize your hormones for a full and active life.
What happens if you have an HGH deficiency?
If you have a Human Growth Hormone (HGH) deficiency, you may be noticing:
- Low energy
- Weight gain
- Difficulty building muscle
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Depression and anxiety
- Mood swings
- Forgetfulness and problems with cognition
- Skin problems such as sagging and wrinkles
- Body fat around the waist
- Slow healing of injuries or wounds
- Increased insulin resistance (symptoms include thirst, frequent urination, etc)
- Increased cholesterol levels (which can cause a higher risk of cardiovascular disease)
What is HGH?
HGH (also known as somatropin) is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the pituitary gland, which is situated in the brain. It plays a major role in physical development and peaks in adolescence. When the hormone is released into the bloodstream, it promotes the growth and development of bones and muscles and is really effective for recovery.
HGH deficiency symptoms overlap with the symptoms of other hormone imbalances. If you are experiencing a number of these symptoms, we can offer consultation with a hormone specialist, who will be able to conduct investigations, provide a diagnosis, and, if necessary, treatment.
HGH therapy: The benefits
If you are deficient in HGH, hormone replacement therapy could provide many physical and mental benefits that noticeably increase your quality of life. HGH replacement has often been hailed as the ‘fountain of youth’. However, while this treatment (or any treatment) cannot prevent aging, it can certainly help slow down the effects, helping you to look and feel more revitalized.
Benefits include:
- Increased energy levels
- Better sleep quality
- Aided fat loss and muscle increase
- Improved libido and sexual function
- Lower cholesterol especially ‘bad’ cholesterol LDL
- Better mood and mental health
- Increased mental acuity
- Improved bone density
- Rejuvenated skin
- Speeds up the repair of injuries and wounds, especially orthopedic and sports injuries
The results can be different for every patient. For example, if you have not experienced poor skin health as a symptom of HGH deficiency, you may not notice much of a difference in this area. However, all patients are likely to feel reinvigorated, stronger, more mentally healthy, generally invigorated, and more youthful.
Patients undergoing HGH replacement therapy will find that the results are cumulative over the course of the treatment. While positive effects are likely notable in the first three months of treatment, you will feel the benefits most fully once when hormone levels are restored, provided that the treatment plan has been followed and other medical conditions are not discovered that could interfere with the effectiveness of the therapy.
Can I buy human growth hormone online?
You should always avoid purchasing hormones from internet retailers, or any retailer where a medical professional has not provided a prescription. Doing so may cause unwanted side effects and may even be dangerous to your health. We cannot support non-pharma purchases of HGH. All of our supplies come from licensed US pharmacies.
HGH is a hormone that should be administered by a medical professional with the necessary health checks and diagnosis prior to prescription.
