   Overview

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is one of the many endocrine hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA that decline with age. Between the ages of 20 to 70, growth hormone levels in your body fall by more than 75%.

Growth hormone deficiency is associated with the following; a decrease in lean body mass, a decrease in bone density, a reduction in skin thickness, a reduction in a sense of well-being, a slowing in the rate of wound healing, a lessening of immune responsiveness, and a reduction in aerobic capacity. In addition, GHD is associated with an increase in the following, all of which have been reduced in clinical trials of growth hormone: increases in (LDL) , increases in arteriosclerosis, increases in total body fat, and a general increase in hospitalization rate and sick days from work.

All of the symptoms of Growth Hormone Deficiency can be reversed with replacement of human growth hormone.
