Should I Expect Results From Growth Hormone Therapy?

• You can expect many life changing benefits from growth hormone replacement therapy.
• You can expect to see some improvements in as little as a few weeks on growth hormone therapy
• It can take up to six months to achieve all of the many benefits of growth hormone therapy for adults.

Have you heard about the thousands of men and women your age benefiting from growth hormone therapy? If you have, then maybe you have also been wondering, “Exactly what kind of results and benefits should I expect from growth hormone therapy?”

For men or women who are suffering from adult onset, or age-related growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone therapy can return quality of life to them. Growth hormone is vital to most of the body processes that are related to vitality, strength and fitness. If you are a man or woman over the age of 40, and are feeling weak, depressed, are putting on weight, and are unable to build lean muscle even while exercising, there is a good chance you could benefit from growth hormone therapy.

The very nature of successful growth hormone therapy requires individualized treatments. Therefore, no two people’s experience with growth hormone therapy will be identical. Your results will be tailored to meet your unique goals and lifestyle. However, for anyone suffering from a growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone therapy has a remarkable number of positive benefits.

If you are a man or woman over the age of 40, and are feeling weak, depressed, are putting on weight, and are unable to build lean muscle even while exercising, there is a good chance you could benefit from growth hormone therapy.

What Are the Benefits of Growth Hormone Therapy?

The known medical benefits of growth hormone therapy break down into 4 major positive impacts on growth hormone deficient patients.

HGH, is produced by the pituitary gland. It stimulates growth in children and adolescents. In addition, in adults it also helps to regulate body composition, body fluids, muscle and bone growth, sugar and fat metabolism, and healthy heart function.

1. Body Composition

Being overweight, out of shape or even obese, is basically a factor of body composition, which is dependent on Body Mass Index, or BMI. BMI is your ratio of body fat to lean muscle. Adults with low levels of growth hormone have BMIs that usually measure in the obese category. At the very least, even if they do not statistically meet the numbers for obesity, people lacking adequate growth hormone will have more fat than lean muscle. Once you begin growth hormone therapy you can expect this all to change. Growth hormone therapy improves your ability to build lean muscle by increasing protein synthesis. Once you build more muscle, your metabolism will increase, your ability to burn fat will increase, and your fat to muscle ratio will tip in the opposite direction. The newer, leaner you will also:

• Feel stronger
• Have more energy
• Have increased stamina

2. Lipid Metabolism

As mentioned in the first benefit of growth hormone therapy, growth hormone replacement improves your ability to burn fat, also known as lipid metabolism. Once your lipid metabolism increases you can expect results from growth hormone therapy such as:

• Increased burning of body fat with an associated reduction in belly fat
• A reduction in cholesterol levels
• Improved sexual function
• Drop in insulin resistance

3. Bone Health

Growth hormone therapy has been shown to strengthen bones, improve bone health, and combat the bone loss typical of osteoporosis, particularly in post-menopausal women. With an improvement in age-related bone loss, your risk of fractures and other bone related injuries as you get older will drop significantly. With such a reduction in risk, you can continue to do the physical activities you love, without fear of a dangerous, or even life threatening injury.

4. Cardiovascular Function

The benefits of increased muscle mass and increased ability to burn fat that result from growth hormone therapy, combine to significantly improve your cardiac health. This is why many refer to HGH as the fitness hormone. Improved ability to exercise, better oxygen profusion, and improved cardiac function, have all been noted as positive effects of growth hormone therapy. Improved cardiac function not only improves you quality of life, and lessens your risk of a cardiovascular incident such as stroke or heart attack, the improvements in blood flow also:

• Improve sexual function
• Increase energy
• Improve cognition
• Improve skin health and interest

When Can I Expect to See Results from Growth Hormone Therapy?

Again, since growth hormone therapy is given on a very individualized basis, results do vary. However, many patients say they start to see improvements in strength and energy in as little as two weeks. You can expect to see the kinds of positive benefits to growth hormone therapy as described above in about six months. You can expect milestones over the course of your growth hormone therapy.

Month One – After about one month of growth hormone therapy you should expect to see increases in vitality and energy. You should also start to see:

• Improved mood
• Improved ability to focus and concentrate
• Reduction of belly fat

Month Two – After completing two months of HGH replacement this is when you will really like who you see in the mirror. Belly fat will be significantly reduced, you will appear more toned. Your skin will appear healthier. In addition, after two months of growth hormone therapy you should expect to see:

• Improved sleep
• Improvements in eye sight, particularly night vision
• Improved libido or sex drive

Three to Four Months – As you enter your third and fourth month of growth hormone therapy, in addition to continued improvements in strength and vitality, this is when you will have started to significantly improve your bone health. While stronger bones may be difficult to see, you may notice increased flexibility, and less joint pain. In addition, at this time in your growth hormone therapy you should see:

• Healthier hair
• Reduction of PMS symptoms (pre-menopausal women)
• Reduction of the common female symptoms often associated with menopausal and post-menopausal women
• Improved erectile function (men)

Five to Six Months – Once you are close to completing your first course of growth hormone therapy in months 5 and 6, you will start to experience all of the many positive benefits listed above of growth hormone replacement therapy.

Is There a Downside to Growth Hormone Therapy?

Like any kind of therapy or medical treatment, growth hormone therapy is not without some risk. However, the many positive benefits you will get from HGH replacement far outweigh the risk of any possible side effects. To not take a recommended prescription for growth hormone therapy, because of fear of side effects would be a very poor decision. If you have been diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, and require growth hormone therapy, and refuse, there is only one way to go, and that is downhill.

If you refuse hormone replacement therapy, your symptoms of growth hormone deficiency will only increase. On the contrary, if you work with your doctor to achieve the many positive affects you can expect from HGH replacement, you will have made a wise decision indeed!

What you can expect from growth hormone therapy in addition to that stated above is:

• Increased strength
• Increased stamina
• More energy
• Increased ability to burn fat and build muscle
• Healthier skin and bones

Possible reactions to Growth Hormone Therapy

• Injection site reaction
• Swelling
• Arthralgias
• Headache
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Tingling
