HGH Therapy

HGH therapy is appropriate and recommended in specific situations. The most obvious of these is growth hormone deficiency, a condition most obvious in children who experience arrested growth. Adults with growth hormone deficiency suffer from a more subtle group of symptoms: the hormone regulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism, blood sugar levels, fat deposition, muscle strength, emotional health and energy levels. When medical tests confirm an HGH deficiency, HGH doctors can provide hormone replacement therapy by injection.

It’s no surprise that thoughtful physicians and consumers have noticed that many of the typical signs of aging – increased body fat, muscle loss, weakness, declining energy levels, declining mental status and even an increased risk of abnormal blood sugar levels – correlate with symptoms of HGH deficiency. The association has lead to the investigation of HGH therapy not only for age-related illnesses but also for anti aging in general. The lack of solid supporting evidence and the difficulty of providing injected hormone therapy, in turn, have resulted in a split between endocrinologists and other medical specialists calling themselves HGH doctors.
