Human Growth Hormone and Testosterone Therapy Programs For Adults Over 35

Once a physician has proven HGH deficiency, he or she will begin the patient on a small dose of HGH and slowly raise the dose until a final maintenance dose is reached.
The hormone is given by injection. Small needles and syringes are used. The test used to find out what HGH levels are is the insulin-like growth factor test ("IGF-1 test"). It is a single blood test which reflects the amount of HGH administered, although it is not HGH itself.
IGF-1 values which are low prompt a larger dose or growth hormone is needed; values which are too high prompt a lower dose.
The symptoms of HGH excess include muscle or joint pain, retention of fluid (called edema) and carpal tunnel, which consists of pain and/or numbness in the hands. These symptoms, if severe, will also help determine the dose.
Deficiency of HGH in the adult has been recently described. It has recently been approved as acceptable therapy by the FDA. Improvement in most of the symptoms and body composition changes induced by this deficiency change for the better with successful HGH therapy treatments.
