Benefits of HGH Replacement in Adults

HGH Injections Before and After

Many prospective patients recognize that growth hormone replacement therapy is a larger investment in wellness than many other hormone replacement therapies. So, it is natural for those considering treatment to measure what they can realistically expect. 

Before and After photos are often used in plastic surgery practices, but rarely by bioidentical hormone replacement doctors. The primary reason for this is that patients are reluctant to go public with their use of growth hormone replacement therapy. There has been so much negative press due to athletic doping that most of those taking daily HGH injections prefer to do so privately.

Nevertheless, let’s extrapolate from some of the research what one can expect as good before and after a 6-month measurement. One study was done in 1990 and measured before and after results in those 61 years of age to 81.

It should be noted that younger age groups will likely see better results with improved exercise tolerance.

Before and After HGH Treatment – Fat Reduction

Body fat should decline by over 14% in those over 60 years of age. Younger individuals will likely see greater reductions in body fat. The average athlete tends to have a body fat of 6 to 13 percent. The average man in the US has 18 to 24% body fat. The average female has a body fat of 25 to 31%.

Examples of Fat Reduction in 90-180 Days with just moderate exercise:

• Males with 18% body fat will see a reduction from 18% to 15.4% on average – near athlete ranges.
• Males with 24% body fat will see a reduction from 24% to 20.5% on average.
• Females with 25% body fat will drop from 25% to 21.4% body fat on average.
• Females with 31% body fat will drop to 26.5% body fat on average.

Note: These are just averages with little or no exercise. Just a healthy diet and hGH replacement therapies. Imagine what you can do if you direct the improved energy levels you’ll feel to more exercise!

Before and After HGH Treatment – Muscle Percentage

Lean body mass (predominantly muscle mass) will increase on average by 8.8%, for those over 60 years of age. Younger individuals that begin HGH replacement therapy sooner will likely see better improvements.

Also, those that add a bit more exercise to their routine will probably show markedly more improvements, beyond the results of Rudman’s findings, which did not include exercise.

So, for men interested in increasing muscle mass, those between the ages of 35-55 should see a 10-15% improvement with therapy combined with a solid exercise program and a clean diet over a 3-6-month period.

This before-and-after benefit, in particular, cannot be celebrated enough since we now recognize how improved muscle tone accelerates metabolism, and improves lipid and overall metabolic health in populations with healthier body compositions.

Before and After HGH Treatment – Wrinkle Reduction

HGH is the rejuvenation hormone. It creates growth and renewal of the body’s cells. Skin thickness is reported to improve by over 7% after just six months of use. Imagine what this achieves. As the skin thickens, it tightens. Collagen increases and fewer wrinkles become visible. Note that this 7 percent improvement was found in individuals between 60 and 81 years of age, so expect to see better results if you are in your 40s or 50s.

Before and After HGH Treatment – Bone Density

For those concerned about osteoporosis due to family history, growth hormone therapy may reduce your chances of osteoporosis problems and hip fractures significantly. Studies have shown that within six months, bone density begins to improve.

This benefit will last even when treatment HGH replacement is stopped. You see, it takes time for bones to diminish density, which leads to osteoporosis. Restoring bone density can be achieved in months. For those on a limited budget, it would help to consider replacing deficiencies at least for six months. Measure and monitor bone density following treatment annually to decide if more treatment is called for.

Is HGH Right for Women?

HGH is fine for women. Sometimes women believe they will get extreme muscle growth like a bodybuilder. Nothing could be further from the truth. Growth hormone is a rejuvenation hormone.

Only someone taking extreme doses will encounter abnormal growth. The goal of all hormone replacement is to deliver an optimal physiological dose that is within the normal ranges of the human body.

We find HGH to be perfectly safe if proper doses are being injected, and treatment is properly watched by a physician trained and experienced in hormone replacement therapies.

HGH and Sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle in aging adults. Most adults begin losing muscle at around 30 years of age. This process continues until eventually, in later years it grows exponentially.

HGH therapy can help avoid many of the debilitating effects of Sarcopenia in aging adults. More studies are needed, but the evidence so far suggests the increased muscle-promoting effects of growth hormone therapy in aging adults, along with improvements measured in bone density among others, could be a breakthrough in helping the elderly still be independent later in life.

Possible effects of Sarcopenia:

• decreased muscle strength
• mobility problems
• weak bones
• falls/fractures
• middle-age weight gain

That said, it’s important to note the following data:

• By the year 2030, we are expected to have another 72 million people over the age of 65
• Around age 65, Sarcopenia most commonly begins to accelerate
• in 2000, 1.5 million adults were institutionalized or were incapable to care for themselves because of their inability to perform daily activities
• It is believed to affect 30% of those over the age of 60 and 50% over the age of 80
• Approximately 45% of the older population is affected
• Approximately 20% of the US population is essentially disabled due to the effects of Sarcopenia

HGH helps combat these symptoms. It is worth noting that the sooner one embarks on an age management program, the less likely one will fall victim to this debilitating outcome at 60 years old. The goal of our hormone replacement therapies is to control these risk factors and push the time envelope from 60-80 years old to 80-100 years and beyond.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Women.

Research shows that just like men, women can become testosterone deficient. When small levels are replaced (much lower than in men) women can receive help from the following:

• Increased libido
• Reduced sexual dysfunction
• Improved mood

On average, healthy women naturally produce testosterone at 1/10 the level of men. Testosterone in women is produced by the ovaries and the adrenal glands. Like men, women experience many similar negative side effects to the decline in testosterone. Including muscle tone, energy, libido, and a sense of well-being.

Improved Libido From Testosterone and HGH Replacement Therapy

Reports show that HGH replacement therapy in those with deficiencies improves libido in patients. This is common sense. Growth Hormone helps rejuvenate cellular health. It also promotes other hormones to work better and more efficiently.

Some refer to HGH as the MASTER HORMONE as it leads other hormones like a conductor in a symphony orchestra. As libido is increased, both men and women will increase frequency, pleasure, and performance in most cases.

We also recommend a whole-food diet to promote nitric oxide within the endothelial cells. This helps naturally dilate small blood vessels and capillaries. It can also improve nerve sensitivity. A WHOLE-FOOD diet is nutrient-dense and low on the glycemic index scale to avoid high blood-sugar spikes. 

What’s the Average Cost of HGH Monthly?

Residents in the U.S. HGH therapy typically will pay $1,250 to $2,400 per month for treatment. This doesn’t include medical consultations and blood testing. Just HGH. In Mexico and Costa Rica patients pay $550 for the same medication by the same manufacturer.

The average cost of human growth hormone replacement therapy can vary considerably depending on the individual. Yet, the figures above and the ranges described, pretty closely follow what the majority of patients can expect. 

Patients can expect the following HGH replacement costs for the two more common doses prescribed:

• HGH Therapy Average Monthly Price for 1IU 5-days per week injection: $450 USD
• HGH Therapy Average Monthly Price for 2IU 5-days per week injection: $900.00 USD

HGH therapy is injected generally once per day such as Monday-Friday, with two days off. Calculations are based on approximately 22 injection days of HGH per month. For those on a budget, there are some three-day-per-week injections protocols that can achieve good results in many individuals. Especially those willing to manage diet and lifestyle influences more precisely. 

Most patients will prefer Norditropin HGH replacement because it comes in a 30IU Pen and is very simple to use. Norditropin is the No. 1 HGH product used in the USA and around the world.

What do Average Testosterone Prescriptions Costs for BHRT?

In the US, expect to pay around $80-$250 for a vial of testosterone. This will last 60-90 days for most. Creams are comparable. Testosterone pellets are a little more expensive because they are a superior delivery system. Pellets are inserted subcutaneously under the skin by a trained physician. Pellet implants last 3-5 months, depending on the person, and how fast their body metabolizes the implant. Blood testing and physician consults are at added costs. Typically for those patients in the US, it is best they do our 6-month membership program.

How Long Does it Take to See Results from Growth Hormone and Testosterone Therapies?

Now more than ever, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can improve the lives of millions. The American population is living longer than ever. Unfortunately, most are unhealthy. There is an obesity epidemic with close to 67% of the population obese or overweight. The food supply is contaminated with environmental toxins from pesticides to artificial hormones doping our farm animals. With that said, it’s no wonder so many people are learning their hormone balance is less than optimal.

Our principal purpose is to bring affordable elite anti-aging medical care to a larger percentage of the aging population. Both men and women can receive help from proper nutrition, testosterone, HGH, and other bioidentical hormones. These are unprecedented times. We have medical advances that can help slow the aging process.

We have medical advances that can help slow the clock when it comes to how fast your metabolic health declines with age.

How Often do I Inject Growth Hormone?

Typically you will inject HGH 4 or 5 days per week. Most doctors with only a cursory knowledge of how growth hormone affects the body will always recommend a 5-day per week schedule, with 2 days off. Taking 2 days off gives the pituitary gland time every few days to reset and regenerate its own endogenous growth hormone.

However, studies have been done showing three times or 4 times per week for adults on human growth hormone replacement will experience similar therapeutic benefits. One such study is linked here: <Thrice Weekly HGH Injections pdf>.

HGH Replacement therapy can be an important part of helping people live a higher quality of life and potentially even extending the life of individuals when they combine it with an improved diet and lifestyle.
