Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and health issues.
HGH therapy involves supplementing declining levels of growth hormone using bioidentical HGH to restore hormone balance. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy offers a variety of health, wellness, and anti-aging benefits.
Declining HGH levels can lead to noticeable health changes over time. Common deficiency signs and symptoms include:
Table 1. Common Signs and Symptoms of HGH Deficiency
| Physical | Cognitive | Emotional |
|---|---|---|
| Decreased muscle tone | Impaired memory | Loss of motivation |
| Increased body fat | Reduced mental focus | Mood changes |
| Hair loss | Forgetfulness | Irritability |
| Skin changes | Difficulty learning new things | Anxiety, sadness |
| Bone loss | Slower information processing | Social isolation |
If you are experiencing any of these issues related to natural aging, HGH therapy may help correct hormone imbalance and restore wellness.
HGH injections and other forms of bioidentical hormone therapy can provide remarkable age-reversal and wellness-enhancing results. Patients report improved energy, sleep, sexual function, body composition and appearance, cardiovascular health, bones and joints, mood, and cognitive abilities.
Specific benefits include:
Essentially, HGH therapy can help reverse many unwanted signs of aging to enhance your health, appearance, and enjoyment of life.
Since low HGH levels develop gradually over time, a deficiency is often not diagnosed until obvious signs and symptoms appear. Initial blood tests check IGF-1 and HGH levels directly.
Your physician may also order additional blood panels to rule out other causes of your symptoms and assess your overall health before starting HGH therapy. These may include:
Proper diagnosis is essential to determine if HGH therapy is indicated for you. Optimize Hormones specializes in advanced hormone testing and comprehensive health evaluation.
If hormone blood tests confirm an HGH deficiency, your physician can prescribe appropriate hormone replacement therapy.
At Optimize Hormones, initial HGH dosing protocols typically involve daily injections using sterile syringes and very small gauge needles. Your physician will demonstrate proper injection techniques.
We offer patients their choice of HGH therapy delivered by:
HGH dosing is personalized for your needs and adjusted over time based on follow-up testing and your response to treatment. We closely monitor your progress on therapy through scheduled consultations and bloodwork.
Other important considerations include:
Cost - HGH therapy is considered elective, so health insurance does not cover treatment. However, payment plans are available at Optimize Hormones to make therapy affordable.
Legal Status - A valid medical diagnosis is required for a legal HGH prescription in the U.S. Illicit HGH sales without prescriptions are illegal. Optimize Hormones only prescribes legal bioidentical HGH therapy.
Safety - When properly dosed and monitored by an experienced trained physician, HGH therapy is very safe with minimal side effects.
Efficacy - Patient responses to therapy vary based on health status, age, genetics, and other factors. Most patients report significant benefits. Expectations should be realistic - HGH is not a "fountain of youth."
Commitment - HGH therapy requires an ongoing commitment, just like other hormone treatments. Therapy may continue for years to maintain benefits. Convenience, affordability, and proper medical care help patients comply with long-term treatment programs.
Complementary lifestyle modifications and nutritional support can further enhance the results of HGH therapy.
We advise Optimize Hormones patients to:

Making a commitment to healthy lifestyle habits and targeted nutritional support magnifies the regenerative power of HGH therapy.
In addition to physical changes in body composition and appearance, many Optimize Hormones patients report that HGH therapy helps them accomplish goals, enjoy greater success, and cultivate a more positive, motivated mindset.
HGH injections enhance energy, endurance, confidence, and vitality - allowing people to fully participate in important activities with passion and presence. Hormone balance regulates mood while reducing anxiety, sadness, and irritability. Patients describe feeling less stressed while possessing greater focus, motivation, and drive to be productive.
