Human Growth Hormone
Human Growth Hormone TherapyProduced naturally from the pituitary gland, Human Growth Hormone is responsible for the growth of lean muscle and bone mass in every mammal. The more Human Growth Hormone in a person’s body, the more IGF-1 there will be in their body.IGF-1 is responsible for repairing damaged cells as well as producing new ones. As we age, our pituitary glands produce less and less of this healing hormone, which means that our bodies become less able to repair damaged cells, resulting in, of course, the physical and mental aging process.

Reduced levels of growth hormone associated with aging contribute to age-related decreases in muscle mass, strength, and lipolysis.

Body fat increases by 7% - 25% while lean body mass decreases similarly. Muscle strength and muscle mass are noticeably reduced while long bone density and spinal bone density decrease.
Weight gain of 30-50 pounds can occur. Furthermore, there are negative effects on cholesterol; triglyceride levels increase while high density cholesterol (HDL), 'good cholesterol', decreases.
The risk of cardiovascular disease increases due to vascular wall thickening and changes associated with decreased cardiac output. Less energy, anxiety, social isolation, depression and lack of concentration.
Various strengths of Growth Hormone are manufactured and can be supplied to patients. The actual Growth Hormone comes as a lypholized powder in a sterile vial. In order to use the growth hormone it must be mixed (reconstituted) with bacteriostatic water. The dilution and actual mixing is determined by the prescribing physician. Once mixed the Growth Hormone is now in a solution and it should be stored in the patient’s refrigerator. The actual dose of Growth Hormone is determined by several factors, but as a general rule the dose is between 0.5 to 1 IU to start. Doses are adjusted upward over time after appropriate lab testing is performed to measure special markers for Growth hormone replacement. The most sensitive indicator for Human Growth Hormone Therapy replacement is IGF-1. In other words, IGF-1 is used to gauge the progress and levels of the Human Growth Hormone Therapy dosage. Seven to eight weeks after starting Human Growth Hormone Therapy or after changing a dose of Human Growth Hormone Therapy the IGF-1 can be drawn.
Other general rules apply to dosing Human Growth Hormone Therapy. Men with larger frames and larger bodies generally require higher dosing. Women need more growth hormone than men. Most patients can increase their IGF-1 by up to 100 after 7-8 weeks of daily injections of 1 IU. An optimal IGF-1 range for men seeking replacement therapy is 290-360 and for women it is 260-290. These optimal ranges are the high normal range for a healthy young adult in their 20’s. The frequency of dosing depends a lot on each particular patient’s preference. Generally the majority of men and women who are committed to Human Growth Hormone Therapy replacement dose themselves daily. Minimum effective dosing should not be less than 5 days per week. So for convenience sake, often patients will take Human Growth Hormone Therapy daily on a Monday through Friday schedule or a Monday through Saturday schedule with 1-2 days off weekly.
Also important in administration of Human Growth Hormone Therapy is when it should be given. Most authorities agree that Human Growth Hormone Therapy is best given first thing in the morning soon after arising. It should be given at least 1 hour before any food as well. The dose and frequency of Human Growth Hormone Therapy self administration is important. If done correctly and with adequate physician supervision replacing Human Growth Hormone Therapy will greatly improve a patient’s quality of life.

Because growth hormone is naturally produced in your body, there are relatively few side effects related to Human Growth Hormone Therapy replacement. Documented side effects include fluid retention, joint pain, insulin resistance, and some joint swelling. All of these side effects are results of overdosing, but relatively simple to reverse. They should be caught immediately by the overseeing physician.

Dosing and frequency of Human Growth Hormone Therapy is determined after the diagnosis of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency is made. This diagnosis is established by coupling the patient’s symptoms with appropriate lab testing. Human Growth Hormone Therapy is generally dosed by a specific measure known as an International Unit or IU. The manufacturer of Growth Hormone supplies the medication in milligrams. There are 3 international units in every 1 mg of the medication. As an example, one vial of 6 mg contains 18 units.Various strengths of Growth Hormone are manufactured and can be supplied to patients.
