HGH, also known as somatotropin, is part of the endocrine system and stimulates cell growth and regeneration. In children and adolescents, it is responsible for the growth of bones, muscles, and organs. In adults, it continues to play a role in:
By supporting vital processes like cell regeneration, bone mineralization, protein synthesis, and immune function, HGH helps us feel and perform at our best regardless of age.
After our 20s, HGH production steadily declines by about 14% per decade. By middle age, many adults develop an HGH deficiency, with blood levels at less than 40% of what they were in their youth. Low HGH is associated with unwanted changes like:
Decreased muscle mass and strength - With less HGH, muscle cells shrink and we lose lean muscle tissue starting in our 30s. Weakness, fatigue, and reduced exercise capacity result.
Weight gain and adipose fat accumulation - HGH helps metabolize fat for energy. Low levels disrupt normal fat regulation, increasing BMI and unhealthy belly fat.
Reduced bone density and increased fracture risk - Our bones depend on HGH to absorb essential minerals. Deficiency causes bones and joints to weaken over time.
Decreased stamina and endurance - Cellular regeneration slows, reducing oxygen uptake and delivery during exercise. Low HGH leaves us winded more quickly.
Mood changes and reduced motivation - HGH stimulates the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin that regulate mood. Deficiency can lead to depression.
Wrinkles and sagging skin - The thickening and regeneration effects of HGH diminish. Skin becomes looser and thinner with age as collagen production declines.
Decreased sexual function - HGH and testosterone work synergistically to maintain libido and performance. Declining levels of both hormones lead to reduced desire and erectile dysfunction.
Impaired immunity - Lower activity of immune cells leaves us more prone to illness. Recovery takes longer.
Memory and cognitive issues - HGH enhances neural pathways. Deficiency can result in impaired memory, focus and reaction time.
A blood test is required to accurately determine HGH levels. Most physicians consider anything below 300 ng/mL to be deficient in adults. The earlier hormone decline is detected, the sooner treatment can begin to relieve symptoms and achieve long-term benefits.
In randomized controlled trials, HGH replacement therapy has been shown to provide remarkable improvements within just a few months of starting treatment:
Patients report feeling decades younger after only several months of HGH therapy. With customized treatment plans, the regenerative powers of HGH can help you achieve your health and wellness goals at any age.
There are several high quality pharmaceutical HGH products available to precisely restore your hormones for maximum benefits. Options include:
HGH Injections - The most proven method for delivering bioidentical growth hormone. Daily subcutaneous injections allow for precise dosage adjustments as needed over the course of treatment. Norditropin, Omnitrope, Genotropin, and Saizen are common brand names.
HGH Releasing Hormone (Sermorelin) - A bioidentical HGH releasing factor designed to stimulate your own pituitary gland for natural production. It offers more gradual HGH restoration without suppressing the endocrine system.
HGH Secretagogues - These orally administered compounds prompt the pituitary to secrete stored HGH. Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are two popular secretagogues.
HGH Boosting Supplements - Certain amino acids like L-arginine and L-glutamine enhance HGH levels when taken properly. These are oral supplements that work synergistically with other therapies.
The right HGH program is tailored to your needs based on labwork, medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. Your physician will help determine if you are a candidate and the best products and doses to optimize your health.
Choosing an experienced HGH clinic is key to safe and effective treatment. Here's what to expect from your initial consultation at Renew Hormones:
Renew Hormones's clinical advisors have the advanced training and experience required to prescribe safe, effective HGH treatment using a patient-first approach. We understand your concerns and are here to help you achieve your wellness goals.
When administered correctly under medical supervision, HGH therapy is very safe with minimal side effects. The most common include mild joint pain or swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist, and increased insulin resistance in prediabetic patients. These are dose-dependent and avoidable with proper monitoring.
By improving skin thickness and elasticity from collagen regeneration, HGH can take years off your appearance. It also helps tone muscle while reducing wrinkles and age spots. Patients look fitter and more youthful within months.
The positive effects of HGH therapy persist as long as treatment is continued. HGH stimulates cell regeneration and lean tissue growth. By maintaining optimized hormone levels, you'll continue feeling healthy and energized over the long term.
Even fit individuals can have low natural GH levels that hinder muscle building, endurance, and recovery. HGH allows active adults to achieve the full benefits of their training by enhancing protein synthesis, oxygen uptake, and nitrogen retention in muscle.
While both vital hormones decline with age, they have distinct roles. Testosterone primarily impacts metabolism, sexual function, and muscle/bone health. HGH specifically stimulates cellular growth and regeneration throughout the body for total rejuvenation.
Few therapies provide the remarkable age-reversing results of properly administered HGH. At Renew Hormones, our clinical advisors have extensive expertise in safely restoring growth hormone using proven treatments tailored to your needs. If you're experiencing the unwanted effects of hormonal decline, we encourage you to schedule a consultation today. You deserve to look and feel your absolute best regardless of age. We're here to help you recapture your health, performance, and vibrancy.

For males, maintaining healthy testosterone and HGH levels is key for preserving sexual virility and performance as you get older. Here's how:
While testosterone primarily impacts sexual mechanics like erections, HGH makes you feel re-energized and youthful. A combined treatment approach ensures you consistently perform at your peak while feeling mentally sharp, motivated and confident.
Some key ways to complement your treatment include:
Exercise - Both aerobic activity and strength training boost HGH release and effectiveness. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly. Lift weights 2-3 times per week to build lean muscle. Yoga and Pilates are great for flexibility.
Nutrition - Eat a diet rich in protein, healthy fats and micronutrients to support tissue growth and regeneration. Limit sugar and processed carbs which can hinder HGH function. Stay well hydrated.
Sleep - Get at least 7 hours nightly. Deep, uninterrupted sleep is when the most HGH is produced. Optimize sleep hygiene for quality rest.
Stress reduction - Managing emotional stress through meditation, socializing, nature walks, hobbies, etc. prevents excess cortisol which can lower HGH.
Avoid tobacco and excess alcohol - Smoking and heavy drinking have deleterious effects on growth hormone
