Human Growth Hormone

Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, is naturally produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. It acts as a catalyst for many glandular secretions and life functions critical to maintaining wellness. HGH helps fuel growth during childhood, acts on tissues to promote healthy metabolism, and continues to maintain tissues and organs throughout life.

Beginning in your 40s, the pituitary gland slowly reduces the amount of the hormone it produces. This decrease in HGH production is even more dramatic in people who have had a minor or traumatic brain injury, pituitary tumors, and radiation or surgery to the pituitary gland. In patients with adult human growth hormone deficiency, the drop in HGH may cause critical consequences, such as obesity, osteoporosis, mental confusion, decreased immunity, and cardiovascular problems.

At Renew Medspa Anti-Aging & Aesthetic Medicine, we help combat human growth hormone deficiency with effective HGH hormone replacement therapy. When HGH is administered to patients with a diagnosis of adult human growth hormone deficiency (its only legal indication for use), the symptoms of deficiency may be improved significantly. In fact, Mayo Clinic studies have shown that injections of human growth hormone can increase bone density and muscle mass, decrease body fat, bolster the heart’s ability to contract, improve mood, and increase exercise capacity. The overall effect can be a stronger body with fewer of the symptoms commonly associated with aging.
