Human growth hormone (HGH) is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable effects like weight gain, loss of muscle mass, fatigue, and reduced immunity.
HGH therapy involves supplementing growth hormone levels to restore them to more youthful ranges. This can provide transformative benefits related to body composition, energy, skin quality, sexual function, bone strength, mood, and more. Read on to discover if you could benefit from growth hormone treatment.
Declining HGH levels rarely cause obvious or disabling symptoms right away. However, over time lower growth hormone translates into feeling less vital and resilient. Early signs of HGH decline include:
As growth hormone deficiency worsens, more disruptive symptoms may appear:
If multiple symptoms sound familiar, HGH testing can determine if treatment might help reclaim your vitality. Our Vitality Clinic physicians are experts at diagnosing hormone imbalance through blood tests and medical history analysis.
Once reserved for children with impaired growth, today HGH injections help people of all ages regain more youthful hormone levels. When the body loses its growth hormone output, supplementing this key protein delivers multiple benefits:
Additionally, studies link sufficient HGH levels to stronger bones, lower cholesterol, improved heart function, normalized blood sugar, and boosted immunity. It's no wonder growth hormone has earned a reputation as the "anti-aging hormone!"

Since low HGH arises from underactivity in the pituitary gland, blood tests help diagnose hypopituitarism. Alongside growth hormone levels, we also check:
These help paint a complete picture of pituitary and hormonal health to guide treatment.
We also analyze risk factors like:
Combining blood hormone measurements with risk factor assessment allows our expert physicians to identify who needs HGH therapy for rejuvenation and wellness. We create fully customized treatment plans to restore balance and vitality.
Once treatment begins, patients return periodically to:
This careful follow-up helps our patients achieve transformative yet safe results. We invite you to schedule a consultation to determine if HGH therapy is right for your needs.
HGH was originally extracted from human pituitary glands post-mortem. Now through genetic engineering, bioidentical growth hormone is replicated which is molecularly identical to natural somatropin.
The most common delivery methods include:
While non-injections options exist, most studies proving benefits utilize daily subcutaneous HGH injections. This remains the gold standard delivery system ensuring consistent dosing.
We educate patients on self-administering growth hormone shots which are well-tolerated, similar to insulin injections for diabetes. The minor inconvenience pays off in transformative rejuvenation!
| Method | Convenience | Effectiveness | Side Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Injections | Multiple Weekly Shots | Highest Bioavailability | Rare, Mild |
| Oral Sprays | Convenient | Low Absorption | Unknown |
| Transdermal Gels/Patches | Simple | Inconsistent Dosing | Unknown |
Beginning an HGH regimen requires getting cleared by one of our licensed hormone physicians. We first check for potential contraindications like:
Assuming you qualify medically, our doctors then order blood tests of the pituitary target hormones noted earlier. Defining your hormonal baseline and shortage enables properly calculating an individualized dosage.
We train patients on self-injecting HGH under the skin using an ultra-fine needle. This takes just seconds and most find it easy to integrate into their morning or evening routine.
Follow up labs and checkups occur monthly at first to ensure your protocol achieves ideal blood levels without side effects. We also provide nutritional and fitness guidance to enhance results.
Over 3-6 months, patients enjoy progressively increasing benefits - feeling more energized, shedding abdominal fat, and noticing improvement in skin quality or sexual function. Hair and nails grow faster while injuries heal quicker. These collectively enhance quality of life in a powerfully rejuvenating way.
"I had no idea how much low HGH impacted my life until treatment brought back my energy, strength, and outlook. I feel 30 years younger after just 8 months!" - John D., Vitality Clinic Patient
We share in our patients' excitement at restored wellness through growth hormone optimization. Reach out today to see if you too could benefit.
Clinical research over 30 years confirms supplementing low HGH levels carries a very strong safety profile when properly dosed and monitored. Unlike anabolic steroids that force supraphysiologic stimulation, the goal of bioidentical growth hormone therapy is balancing your levels into more youthful yet natural ranges. Careful medical oversight significantly protects against risks like elevated blood sugar or joint pain. We also screen for potential contraindications like active cancer. With responsible administration, HGH side effects rarely occur and remain mild if they do.
Patients commonly notice increased energy, better workouts, sounder sleep, or mood lift within weeks which motivates them to continue. However, the most impactful benefits around body composition, skin changes, sexual function, etc. phase in over 3-6 months as cellular regeneration unfolds. This mirrors the gradual decline people experience as their natural HGH production falls. Similarly, restoring growth hormone biologically takes time. Yet most patients find the steady improvements worthwhile. Consistent long term therapy shows even more dramatic advantages. After a year, many patients call HGH "the most life-changing treatment I've ever done!"
Health insurance companies approve growth hormone therapy only for diagnosed childhood deficiencies stunting growth - its original purpose. Unfortunately most view adult HGH treatment as akin to plastic surgery - not medically necessary. We counsel patients on possible exceptions like documented pituitary tumors or injuries accelerating aging. That said, the vast majority must pay cash for this elective anti-aging treatment. Despite no coverage, we strive to keep therapy affordable. You ultimately recoup health care savings from the strengthened immunity, faster healing, reduced diabetes risk, etc. Investing in higher HGH often returns surprisingly positive dividends!
