Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an essential role in growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH production declines substantially for most people, leading to a growth hormone deficiency.
The symptoms and signs of an HGH deficiency in adults may include:
If multiple deficiency symptoms are present, an endocrinologist may order blood tests to diagnose growth hormone deficiency. These usually include IGF-1 levels and may also measure pituitary function.
HGH injections therapy is a well-established treatment that can provide remarkable improvements in hormone deficiency symptoms and overall health for many patients. Benefits may include:
With HGH therapy, patients often report feeling decades younger, with restored energy, cognitive abilities, positive mood, self-confidence and an improved physique. Muscle strength may increase by 10-30%, while body fat decreases substantially within 6-12 months.
HGH therapy programs at our Vitality Balance Clinic are fully customized to each patient's health profile and hormone blood tests. However, there are some basics around standard treatment protocols:
With an individualized approach focused on the highest quality care, our HGH therapy programs enable remarkable transformations in health and quality of life.
For adults with a verified growth hormone deficiency, beginning prompt treatment offers immense short and long-term health benefits. By restoring HGH levels, patients have the opportunity to regain energy, strength, mental acuity and joy they may have lost over 10-20 prior years.
As we pass our mid 20's, growth hormone production starts declining by 10-15% each decade. This gradual drop over years and decades allows people to slowly adapt without noticing major changes. However, by the time serious symptoms arise, patients may have lost up to 75% of their growth hormone production compared to youthful levels.
Regaining 20 years of suboptimal health is impossible. However starting treatment promptly gives patients the chance to improve future health while offsetting negative impacts to metabolism, heart health, cognition, bones and muscle mass that may be irreversible if left untreated. Our specialized NY hormone doctors emphasize early diagnosis and treatment to give patients the greatest long-term benefits from therapy.
While often assumed to be used solely for physical enhancement, human growth hormone therapy has shown promise in helping patients recover from brain injuries, with small studies indicating faster healing and improved cognitive function in some cases.

Eat plenty vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans/lentils and cold-water fish. Limit sugar, refined grains and processed foods. Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day.
Aim for 150 minutes weekly of moderate cardio like walking or biking plus 2-3 strength training sessions. Walking 10k steps daily provides great health benefits too!
Make time for relaxing activities like light yoga or meditation which counterbalance excess stress hormones that impede HGH therapy results.
