Human growth hormone (HGH) is an essential hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in maintaining health and vitality. As we age, HGH production declines leading to an array of symptoms. HGH therapy with The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic can help restore hormone levels, reverse deficiency signs, improve quality of life, and promote healthy aging.
Human growth hormone (HGH) is produced by the pea-sized pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. It stimulates cell growth and regeneration throughout life. HGH peaks during puberty when rapid growth occurs, then slowly declines with age. By age 60, HGH levels have plummeted to a mere fraction of youthful amounts.
Declining HGH leaves adults vulnerable to hormone deficiency disorders marked by increased body fat and cholesterol, decreased muscle mass and bone density, low energy and stamina, emotional instability, poor sleep quality, and reduced immunity and healing capacity. Left untreated, hormone deficiency takes a tremendous toll on health and vitality.
The onset of HGH deficiency in adults is gradual, with symptoms worsening over months and years. Common signs and symptoms include:
While some amount of age-related decline in bodily functions is normal, a dramatic worsening of these deficiency symptoms threatens one’s health, quality of life, and longevity.
Determining if HGH deficiency exists requires blood testing combined with a clinical evaluation of signs/symptoms. Two key lab tests are:
Test results must be interpreted based on a person's age, gender, health status, and reported symptoms. The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic provides cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment plans based on the latest scientific data and years of clinical experience successfully treating hormone disorders.
If tests confirm an HGH deficiency, continued deterioration in health is likely without treatment - but the good news is deficits can be safely corrected.
HGH therapy aims to restore healthy hormone levels, thereby halting and reversing deficiency symptoms. When deficiency is significant, the impacts on health and quality of life can be dramatic. Numerous research studies confirm HGH’s therapeutic benefits including:
In those with confirmed growth hormone deficiency, treatment can restore health, quality of life and independence - allowing one to remain active and vibrant well into later life.
While often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for children with growth hormone deficiency to help them attain normal height and body proportions. When prescribed properly by a doctor, it can significantly improve health and quality of life for those with this medical condition.
HGH therapy involves daily injections using bioidentical growth hormone identical to the type naturally produced. This allows precision dosing to meet one’s individual needs. Effects develop gradually over months as cellular changes occur that enhance function of muscles, bones, and organs.
Treatment begins with a very low dose gradually titrated upward based on follow-up lab testing and reports of clinical response. Blood levels, progress, and side effects, if any, are closely monitored to achieve an optimal dosage with maximum benefits and minimal risks.
Injections are self-administered using an easy-to-use pen device. The tiny needles cause little discomfort. Most patients report enjoying restored wellness and positive mood changes within weeks that continue improving over a period of months.
HGH therapy requires discipline to maintain consistency for maximum results. Positive impacts accumulate so staying committed to treatment protocols leads to substantial gains over time. As the body recaptures lost vitality, many patients say they feel like they did decades earlier.
Based on the latest scientific evidence, the Endocrine Society recommends treatment of adults with confirmed growth hormone deficiency be continued indefinitely unless new risks emerge. This allows sustained benefits so patients can pursue an optimally healthy life.

Some adults worry about potential health risks of HGH therapy. But decades of medical evidence consistently shows treatment provides significant benefits - often dramatic restoration of wellness - as long as therapy protocols are properly followed under an expert physician’s supervision.
However, the following valid concerns should be considered:

Commitment - Treatment success requires a strong commitment to consistency with daily injections, regular follow-ups to monitor progress, and blood testing. Results accumulate gradually so sticking rigorously to therapy protocols is key.
Side Effects - When properly dosed, side effects are uncommon. But occasional issues like joint pain, fluid retention, or nerve tingling may occur. Dosage adjustments typically alleviate these issues.
The decision to pursue HGH therapy is a serious one requiring careful thought. Cost, consistency commitment, and potential side effects must be weighed against the consequences of non-treatment leading to ongoing deterioration. Anyone considering treatment should schedule a consultation to fully understand options.
