Human Growth hormone (hGH) is a hormone, which was discovered in 1956.
It was originally felt to have as its principle action the regulation of growth in children to cause them to grow to adult height. Today, we know we continue to produce it as we age. Growth Hormone has been found to heal the brain after a concussion, strengthens our immune system, improves mental health, and so much more.
About 30 years ago, it was discovered that adults with deficient hGH compared to their peers have an increased incidence of premature heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, strokes and osteoporosis. hGH has been FDA approved for use in adults with hGH deficiency since 1996. It has been used in adults in Europe since 1983.
The actions of growth hormone in adults are primarily to preserve muscle mass especially of cardiac muscle. Human growth hormone is critical for tissue repair, healing, brain function, physical health, mental health, muscle growth, bone strength, energy, and metabolism.
hGH is a naturally occurring hormone which is produced in the pituitary gland and it makes sense to replace it when the individual is extremely deficient and when he has undergone an endocrine evaluation to rule out for the cause for his hGH deficiency, especially if it might be correctable without the need for hGH therapy. Furthermore, it is essential that the patient undergo a growth hormone stimulation test to document that they are indeed deficient. Page load link Go to Top
