Human growth hormone (HGH) is crucial for many aspects of health and wellbeing. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, resulting in numerous undesirable effects. Getting HGH levels tested and considering hormone replacement therapy can greatly improve quality of life.
Some of the key reasons patients seek out HGH therapy include:
The first step is getting hormone testing done to check current HGH levels. Growth hormone deficiency is defined by an IGF-1 level below the normal range for a patient's age and gender.
Common signs of HGH deficiency in adults include:
At our Sebring hormone clinic Hormone Harmony Clinic, our medical team conducts a comprehensive health evaluation. We determine if HGH therapy is appropriate and tailor treatment to each patient's unique needs.
HGH therapy involves regular injections of biosynthetic human growth hormone. Treatment is supervised by an experienced hormone doctor to ensure safety and efficacy.
Here is an overview of the HGH therapy process:
The starting HGH dosage is weight-based, typically starting at 0.2 to 0.4 IU per kg of body weight per week. This is divided into daily HGH injections. Bloodwork is repeated around 6 weeks to check IGF-1 levels, which guides dosage adjustments. The goal is maintaining IGF-1 levels in the healthy range for your gender and age.
Maintenance therapy continues long-term under the supervision of your hormone doctor. Follow-up testing occurs every 6 months, along with periodic dosage adjustments as needed over time.
