HGH, or human growth hormone, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays a key role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism. As we age, our natural HGH production declines significantly, leading to numerous undesirable effects like loss of muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, reduced sex drive, and more.
HGH therapy involves supplementing your natural HGH levels using bioidentical growth hormone injections. When administered under medical supervision, HGH therapy can produce astonishing anti-aging effects:
In essence, HGH therapy can help restore your hormone levels back to what they were in your 20s, allowing you to look and feel decades younger.
With over 15 years of experience providing hormone therapy, the physicians at Balance Hormone Center clinic are experts at safely prescribing bioidentical HGH to help patients combat the effects of aging.

HGH therapy is administered through subcutaneous injections, whereby bioidentical growth hormone is slowly released into your bloodstream. This allows your body to better absorb the HGH.
For maximum safety and efficacy, your physician will begin you on a low HGH dosage which is gradually increased over a period of weeks or months based on your response and lab results. Finding your optimal dosage helps ensure you reap the full anti-aging benefits.
In addition to HGH, we often recommend supplementing with other key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, melatonin, and DHEA to fully restore your youthful hormonal balance.

In fact, HGH has been shown to improve cardiac output, boost the immune system, increase exercise capacity, enhance mood, and even increase libido in both men and women. While often associated with athletes and anti-aging, HGH benefits go far beyond the physical.
Your pituitary gland produces less HGH as you get older due to:- Aging of the endocrine system - The tissues in your endocrine system naturally lose function over time.- Damage to pituitary - Injuries, infections, or tumors affecting your pituitary can impair HGH production.- Hypothalamus dysfunction - The hypothalamus regulates pituitary function. Age-related changes can disrupt signaling.- Poor nutrition and excess body fat - Excess fat and insulin resistance interfere with HGH release.- High cortisol - Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which lowers HGH.- Other hormone imbalances - Issues with estrogen, thyroid, or testosterone impact pituitary function.
Comprehensive lab testing is crucial because:- It helps determine if you're a candidate for HGH based on your growth hormone levels.- Testing other hormone levels too reveals any deficiencies needing correction.- It provides a baseline to compare future progress and adjust your dosage accordingly.- Testing enables early detection of any potential issues.Getting tested provides key insights into what's happening inside your body to inform your treatment plan.
When properly prescribed and monitored by an experienced hormone specialist, HGH therapy is very safe for most people. Potential side effects may include:- Water retention, edema, or carpal tunnel syndrome- Joint pain or numbness- Low blood sugar (rare)- Enlarged breasts in men (rare)But these are usually temporary and often preventable by starting with lower dosages. Our physicians are experts at minimizing risks through proper protocols.
Most patients report noticeable improvements in energy, sleep, skin, hair, and libido within the first 1-2 months. Continued benefits accrue gradually over 6-12 months as your hormone levels optimize. The full effects are dependent on your consistent compliance with the treatment plan. With patience and persistence, you'll be amazed how youthful you can feel with HGH therapy.
