Our doctors explain the protocol, side effects and ideal candidates
Human growth hormone therapy is a practice of self-administering HGH injections five or six times a week at bedtime. Human growth hormones can only be obtained by prescription for those who have been diagnosed as deficient in HGH levels through blood tests.
Recombinant human growth hormone has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for adult men and women in the treatment of hypopituitarism and somatotropin deficiency. If you suffer from hypopituitarism, the cost of your HGH therapy will probably be covered under your insurance policy. As part of our human growth hormone therapy, patients receive HGH replacement therapy and testing under supervision.
Who would benefit from hormone replacement therapy?
- Anyone who is hormone deficient at any age, sex, or race.
- Anyone who is over age 35 without a medical history precluding them from human growth hormone or testosterone replacement.
- Anyone for whom it is not illegal to use hormone replacement therapy or contraindicated in their profession or due to their medical condition.
Is everyone a candidate for human growth hormone therapy?
- No. There is a very small minority who may not be able to participate in our program. Our physicians will review your specific health conditions, medical history and lab work to determine if you are a candidate.
- HGH should not be used if you have any type of cancer or diabetes or hypothyroidism
- HGH should not be used if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant or if you are breast feeding
- HGH should not be used if you have an unusual or allergic reaction to somatropin, glycerin, or benzyl alcohol
What are the potential side effects and risks of Human Growth Hormone Therapy?
- Water retention, tingling sensations and sore muscles
- Headache, high blood pressure

- Abdominal discomfort or pain
- Development of insulin resistance or acromegaly
