Human growth hormone (HGH) is crucial for growth, cell regeneration, and maintaining healthy tissues in children and adults. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs like decreased muscle mass and bone density, increased body fat, reduced energy, and impacts on cholesterol levels and heart function.
HGH deficiency occurs when the pituitary gland does not produce enough HGH. Common causes include pituitary tumors, trauma, or simply age-related decline. Deficiency symptoms affect quality of life but often emerge gradually, so many adults do not realize they have a problem. Getting tested is important, especially if experiencing fatigue, mood changes, trouble sleeping, joint aches, or unexplained weight gain.

Frequent follow-ups and blood work let us adjust the dose over time to meet treatment goals while monitoring patient safety. We also provide nutritional guidance and fitness support to help patients achieve their best results.
