Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland that regulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and health issues. HGH therapy can help raise hormone levels back to an optimal range, promoting improved health, vitality and quality of life.
Benefits of HGH therapy include:
Declining HGH levels can lead to a hormonal imbalance known as adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD). Signs and symptoms include:
Testing is needed to confirm AGHD, usually involving a stimulation test that measures HGH levels produced in response to an injection medication. Blood tests may also check insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which is controlled by HGH.
If testing confirms growth hormone deficiency, HGH therapy can help restore optimal levels.
There are a few options for delivering supplemental HGH:
HGH injections are the most common and effective therapy. Injections are administered daily or several times weekly, using small needles in fat tissue or muscle. Doses are weight-based and customized to meet treatment goals.
Benefits of injections include precision dosing and full absorption when injected under the skin. This offers exceptionally reliable results.
Some clinics offer oral HGH sprays designed to be absorbed in the lining of the mouth. However, studies show only a small portion of the dose gets absorbed. This can limit benefits compared to injections.
Over-the-counter supplements marketed as HGH products do not contain real HGH. Available in pills and sprays, these products may boost energy and performance to a small degree, but do not compare to regulated prescription HGH therapy.
With over 15 years serving the Cape Cod area, Balance Hormone Clinic offers cutting-edge diagnosis, testing and HGH therapy programs tailored to your unique needs.
Our board-certified hormone specialist first performs detailed testing to accurately diagnose AGHD based on your symptoms, medical history and HGH/IGF-1 blood levels. Once a growth hormone deficiency is confirmed, we custom design a treatment protocol to help you achieve your wellness goals.
We utilize advanced Cenegenics diagnostics and Genova diagnostics to precisely gauge IGF-1, pituitary and other hormone levels. This enables our specialist to accurately diagnose AGHD and design optimal therapy.
HGH therapy must be personalized and monitored to meet treatment objectives while minimizing side effects.

Although often associated with athletes and anti-aging, over 80% of prescribed HGH in the U.S. is actually for children and adolescents with clinically diagnosed growth hormone deficiency to help them achieve normal height and development.
Certain lifestyle measures support HGH therapy for better results:
Weight training plus cardio exercise 4-5 days a week helps build muscle, burn fat and support the benefits of HGH therapy. We provide custom fitness guidance.
A balanced, nutrient-rich diet low in sugar supports HGH function. We offer nutritional counseling to meet your needs.
Growth hormone release is impaired by emotional stress. Activities like yoga, massage and meditation promote hormonal balance and mind/body health.
Most HGH is secreted during deep, restorative sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours nightly and improve sleep hygiene for best therapy results.
Follow-up blood tests help ensure hormone levels are optimized for your health goals while avoiding side effects. We schedule convenient local labs for monitoring.
