Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to various signs of aging and health issues.
Decreased HGH levels lead to increased body fat, decreased muscle mass and strength, reduced bone density, decreased energy levels, poor sleep quality, reduced libido, and impaired cognition. Symptoms tend to worsen over time if left untreated.
HGH deficiency refers to abnormally low levels that cause adverse health effects. It is usually defined as less than 3 ng/mL on blood tests. Deficiency becomes more common as we age but can occur at any age.
HGH is crucial for many aspects of optimal health and functioning. It helps regulate body composition, blood sugar, cholesterol, bone strength, mood, energy levels, skin health, immune function, and much more. Maintaining adequate HGH is key for feeling and functioning your best.
HGH therapy involves supplementation with a bioidentical form of human growth hormone. When deficiency is effectively treated, patients experience impressive benefits:
HGH therapy promotes fat loss while enhancing muscle mass. Patients burn fat, especially unhealthy visceral fat around organs. More muscle leads to a lean, toned appearance.
By stimulating osteoblasts, HGH strengthens bone mineral density - helping prevent osteoporosis and fractures. Individuals with deficiency often show remarkable bone improvements.
Thickening of the dermis layer of skin occurs, promoting a youthful appearance - with reduced wrinkles and more firmness. Skin becomes smoother, softer and elastic. Hair regrows healthier and thicker.
Many patients describe dramatically increased energy and vitality on HGH therapy. Deficiency causes extreme fatigue, reversed when levels are restored.
Since low HGH causes such broad, non-specific symptoms, accurate testing is crucial prior to therapy. Balanced Hormone Clinic utilizes advanced blood analysis at certified laboratories - assessing total IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and HGH levels for the most definitive results. Testing is typically covered by insurance when medically necessary.
IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) provides the most accurate screening for HGH deficiency. Produced by the liver, IGF-1 is stimulated by HGH to promote growth and various metabolic processes. Low IGF-1 indicates poor pituitary output.
Once HGH therapy is initiated, patients need follow-up blood tests to monitor progress and adjust dosing. We provide complete lab oversight for optimal outcomes.
Balanced Hormone Clinic utilizes the latest evidence-based protocols for safety and efficacy - personalized for each patient's needs, goals and lab results.
We prescribe pure, bioidentical HGH - structurally identical to what the human body produces. Short-acting daily injections are considered optimal delivery.
The starting weekly dose is typically 0.2 to 0.4 mg, split into daily subcutaneous injections. This is gradually titrated upwards based on patient response and lab results (IGF-1 monitoring) to determine the optimal maintenance dosage.
The tailored maintenance dose (usually between 0.5 to 3 mg weekly) is administered for 3-6 months to allow full benefits. Dose adjustments continue as needed.

While often associated with athletes 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. It continues to be an important medical therapy for those with developmental conditions causing abnormally short stature.
