Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a key hormone produced by the pituitary gland that promotes growth, cell regeneration and cell reproduction. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and health issues. Prompt treatment with HGH therapy provided by specialists at clinics like Vitality Renewal Clinic can help patients enjoy a better quality of life.
Maintaining optimal HGH levels is essential for energy, immune function, muscle growth, healthy body composition, enhanced mood and more. HGH deficiency has been associated with increased body fat, decreased bone density, poor cholesterol levels, diminished cardiac output, loss of collagen, and more.
By replenishing HGH levels, negative health impacts of HGH decline can be reversed or improved. HGH therapy allows patients to regain strength, endurance and vitality. Treatment should not be delayed when deficiency is suspected. The experienced medical team at Vitality Renewal Clinic is ready to help patients determine if they are candidates for transformative HGH therapy.
The most common signs and symptoms of HGH deficiency in adults include:
If multiple deficiency signs are present, HGH therapy may be warranted. Our caring medical providers can determine the cause of symptoms and create a tailored treatment plan to help patients feel their best.
Restoring healthy HGH levels through therapy offers a broad range of benefits such as:
The anabolic properties of HGH promote muscle protein synthesis, enabling muscle growth without dangerous anabolic steroids. Patients typically gain 4.6 lbs of lean body mass after 6 months of HGH therapy.
Along with increased muscle mass from HGH therapy comes easier fat loss, particularly around the abdomen. Research shows abdominal fat can decrease by up to 14.4% with 6 months of treatment.
By spurring bone cell reproduction, HGH therapy can result in notable bone density improvements. This leads to greater skeletal strength and fracture risk reduction.
Thinner, sagging skin afflicts many older adults with low HGH. But increased collagen production during therapy promotes skin thickening by around 7.1% over 6 months.
Studies demonstrate HGH therapy yields cardiovascular benefits like lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol, and enhanced left ventricular function. This supports better blood flow and oxygenation.
HGH strengthens the immune response to illness and infection, helping patients heal faster. Therapy reduces illness recovery time by 50% or more.
Deficiency takes a toll on mood and cognition. But HGH therapy is shown to lift depression, ease anxiety, sharpen focus and enhance cognitive processing speed.
With so many positive effects, HGH therapy can be life-changing. Vitality Renewal Clinic' medical team provides cutting-edge treatment plans to help patients correct deficiency.
Our licensed hormones specialists carefully evaluate patients for HGH deficiency using lab tests, clinical history, signs/symptoms and medical imaging. Key lab tests checked include:
These tests, along with consideration of deficiency signs, allow our clinicians to determine who will derive genuine benefits from therapy.
Once qualified for treatment, HGH therapy involves regular injections of bioidentical human growth hormone. This supplies the body with youthful, natural HGH it lacks.
Like thyroid therapy, testosterone therapy or other hormone treatments, HGH therapy is not a single-cycle treatment. It is prescribed as ongoing hormone replacement to maintain benefits long-term when deficiency is diagnosed.
Patients can follow up regularly with our clinical team to ensure their protocol remains optimized. We provide all the testing, oversight and care needed to sustain safe, successful growth hormone therapy over months to years.
While often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency in children. When given to those with an actual deficiency, HGH can help normalize growth and development.
With HGH therapy, working with specialty hormone experts is strongly recommended. Our clinic offers:

Yes, HGH therapy is legal when prescribed properly for medical deficiency treatment, under physician supervision. Illicit, non-medical use of HGH is illegal. Our licensed medical providers only prescribe GH replacement for clinically diagnosed deficiency per ethical guidelines.
Over 6 months of treatment, patients typically enjoy fat loss up to 14%, lean muscle mass gains up to 5 pounds, 7% skin thickening, sharper mental function, better lipid profiles, enhanced immunity, stronger bones, improved stamina and more.
Some patients notice subtle improvements in energy, skin or well-being within 2-4 weeks. But full therapeutic effects require 3-6 months for changes like muscle gain, fat reduction and cholesterol improvements as HGH levels normalize.
When properly dosed, serious side effects are rare. But temporary impacts like fluid retention, joint achiness, headaches or mild blood sugar changes sometimes occur initially. We monitor patients to quickly resolve temporary effects.
Coverage for HGH therapy varies widely between policies. Our knowledgeable staff is happy to verify if your insurance provides coverage for GH treatment. Many find our self-pay program offers the simplest way to obtain therapy.
We encourage those with further questions about the safety, effectiveness or advantages of HGH therapy for deficiency to arrange an informative consultation with our clinic.
Beyond our center's clinical excellence, the idyllic climate, cuisine and attractions of Athens also support the best possible therapy experience:
Comfortable year-round weather averaging 60-80°F allows easy adherence to fitness regimens that enhance HGH benefits. The sunny Mediterranean climate also boosts mood and vitality.
After HGH injections help spark the appetite, Athens' famed restuarants satisfy with nutritious Mediterranean fare like greens, seafood, yogurt and olive oil. These provide protein and healthy fats to fuel results.
Patients can optimize fitness by exploring Athens' vibrant neighborhoods and classic attractions like the Acropolis, Temple of Olympion or the charming Plaka District on foot. The walkability motivates activity while surrounded by beauty.
Beyond physical gains in muscle and bone density, HGH therapy also elevates mood, motivation and cognitive function. Athens provides an abundance of arts and culture at museums like the National Archeological Museum or Benaki Museum to engage the mind.
Quick island getaways provide both relaxation and activity to reduce stress while continuing progress towards therapy goals. Nearby islands like Hydra, Poros or Aegina are easily reached for aquatic adventures and serene downtime.
With such rich amenities supporting therapy success, Athens is a fitting backdrop for Hornone Replacement Clinic Vitality Renewal Clinic' services. We welcome residents to learn more.
- Clinical signs/symptoms of low IGF-1, low growth hormone or hormone imbalance - Unexplained weight gain (particularly abdominal fat gain) - Loss of strength or lean muscle mass - Low energy, fatigue, trouble concentrating/thinking clearly - Depression or reduced sense of wellbeing - Poorly healing wounds or lengthy illness recovery - High LDL cholesterol or high triglycerides
The preferred test is IGF-1 lab testing combined with clinical correlation for deficiency signs and contributing illness presence. An IGF-1 level below optimal range suggests HGH therapy may help resolve deficiency impairments.
Initial effects like improved energy may emerge within 1 month. But full benefits like lean tissue gains, fat loss, skin changes or cholesterol improvements develop over 3-6 months as hormone levels normalize long-term via therapy.
Yes, prescription bioidentical human growth hormone carries far less health risk than anabolic steroids while powerfully increasing lean muscle mass. With close medical oversight, HGH muscle benefits are achieved safely without steroid dangers.
We welcome you to arrange a consultation if you have further questions about HGH treatment or believe you may be a candidate for therapy.
