What is HGH
Your body produces HGH in the pituitary gland. Your body produces new cells every day to replace those that degenerate and die over time. HGH helps your body produce these replacement cells. When your body can't repair its cells or produce enough new cells, you begin to show signs of aging.Some people report that when their HGH levels are low, they wake up tired and have to struggle through the day, using caffeine and sugar for energy to get work done. Dependence on these substances can make it harder to control your weight.
How to Tell If Your HGH Levels Are Low
The only way to know for sure if your HGH levels are low is to get a medical diagnostic test. Our HGH doctors will order lab tests for patients to definitively diagnose growth hormone deficiency and develop a personalized treatment plan for each person. If you have diabetes, you would not take insulin without first checking your blood sugar levels. You should know your HGH levels before starting replacement therapy.
