Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland. As the name suggests, it stimulates growth and cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals.
HGH levels naturally peak during puberty and decline with age. When adults have an HGH deficiency, it can lead to undesirable symptoms like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, fatigue, poor concentration, and more. HGH therapy involves supplementing natural or synthetic HGH to restore normal levels.
At Renew Hormone Clinic in Hillsborough, we specialize in HGH treatment protocols tailored to each patient's unique needs. We have extensive experience helping patients of all ages improve their vitality, body composition, and quality of life through HGH therapy.
Below we will cover key topics about HGH, including common deficiency signs, treatment benefits, basics of therapy, and why Renew Hormone Clinic is a premier choice for HGH therapy in Hillsborough. We also provide tips for supporting your treatment with lifestyle choices.
Many people develop an adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) that can sap their energy, strength, and wellbeing. Key signs of low HGH levels in adulthood include:
- Loss of muscle mass and tone - Weight gain, increased body fat (especially abdominal fat) - Thinning and prematurely graying hair - Dry, thinning skin and nails - Joint pain and stiffness - Reduced endurance and exercise capacity
- Memory and concentration problems - Mood swings, anxiety, or sadness - Lack of motivation and zest for life
- High "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides - Low "good" HDL cholesterol - Insulin resistance or elevated blood sugar - Sleep disruptions and fatigue
If you exhibit multiple low HGH symptoms, it is wise to get a medical workup for possible growth hormone deficiency. The sooner it is addressed, the better the treatment outcomes.
HGH injections aim to restore your body's internal supply of growth hormone. Getting HGH levels back to a healthy balance can provide remarkable benefits including:
The anabolic properties of HGH promote muscle protein synthesis. This lets you gain strength, endurance and a more toned, youthful physique.
HGH enables your body to mobilize stored fat for energy metabolism. Abdominal and visceral fat deposits often shrink significantly. HGH also helps regulate carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism.
By spurring osteoblasts (bone forming cells), HGH strengthens bones vulnerable to osteoporosis. This also reduces fracture risks.
HGH enhances neural function and can sharpen focus, memory, and cognitive skills. Balancing HGH levels also typically helps mood and emotional outlook while improving sleep quality.
Collagen production stimulated by HGH leads to thicker, more elastic skin along with faster growing, healthier hair and nails.
HGH boosts the activity of T-cells and macrophages to heighten immunity. Growth factors promote rapid healing and recovery from illness or injury.
In both men and women, HGH therapy often improves libido, sexual response, and satisfaction.
With a customized HGH regimen you can target your most bothersome hormone-related symptoms and make the most of treatment.
The first step is getting lab testing to accurately check your Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) and HGH blood levels. Depending on results, your Renew Hormone Clinic doctor will recommend the best therapeutic approach.
Pharmaceutical synthetic HGH is identical to natural growth hormone. Injections under the skin are most effective for absorption into the bloodstream. Frequency varies from daily to a few times weekly.
We closely track your symptoms, labs, and progress to make dosage adjustments ensuring you get ideal results from therapy without side effects.
Other hormone or nutrient deficiencies commonly accompany HGH decline. We address these with testosterone therapy, thyroid hormones, vitamin regimens, etc. to amplify benefits.
Good nutrition, sleep habits, regular exercise and stress reduction aid HGH therapy. Later we share tips to make the most of your treatments.

Certain lifestyle factors significantly impact your hormone levels and function. By opting for health-promoting choices during treatment you will amplify and extend benefits. Useful strategies include:
Eat plenty of lean proteins, healthy fats from nuts/seeds/oils, vegetables, fruits, and whole intact grains. Avoid excess carbohydrates, sugars, processed foods and trans fats which can undermine HGH therapy.
Exercise stimulates your own growth hormone secretion while building muscle, burning fat and normalizing metabolic factors. Aim for 30-60 minutes daily. We offer guidance on optimal routines. Consider joining Marathon Fitness which offers special rates to our patients.
Aim for 7-9 hours nightly, going to bed early enough to sync with circadian rhythms. This maximizes natural overnight HGH release for repair and rejuvenation. Consider supplements like ZleepWell which patients report heightens deep restorative sleep.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol which opposes HGH benefits. Schedule relaxing activities daily like yoga, music, massage, meditation, etc. Hillsborough Spa Retreats offers our patients discounted therapeutic massages and facials.
Key nutrients like arginine, lysine, glutamine, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium and antioxidants support HGH function. Our doctors often recommend CoreEffect Nutritionals formulas which use highly bioavailable forms sourced from quality suppliers.
Committing to healthy lifestyle optimization while undergoing HGH therapy will help you achieve profound revitalization, strength and wellbeing from your treatments.
