What Are the Signs of an HGH Deficiency?

Although you stopped growing years ago, your body continues to produce human growth hormone (HGH) to support metabolism, energy levels, and muscle mass maintenance. However, HGH production naturally declines as you get older and can contribute to several challenges associated with aging, such as weight gain and fatigue.

So, how can you tell if you have an HGH deficiency? 

At MyFitMed, our metabolism and hormone specialists identify the signs of HGH deficiency that many people often brush aside as a normal part of getting older. Here, we share the key signs of an HGH deficiency and how our HGH peptide treatment can help you feel your best.

Signs of HGH deficiency

Human growth hormone (HGH) plays a critical role in growth and development, but it also  regulates metabolism, supports immune health, repairs tissue, and converts fat into energy.

HGH levels peak during childhood and adolescence, and gradually decline in adulthood. Despite the lower levels, HGH continues to influence energy levels, body composition, and injury repair in adults.

Though a normal part of aging, HGH deficiency may contribute to health issues dismissed as an unfortunate part of getting older, such as: 

• Loss of muscle mass
• Increase in belly fat
• Fatigue
• Anxiety and depression
• Higher cholesterol levels
• Slower healing

If you have any of the signs of HGH deficiency noted above, don’t ignore them. You can feel better when you have the right help. Our team at MyFitMed provides testing and treatments like HGH peptides for HGH deficiency.

Restoring balance with HGH peptides 

The goal of treatment for HGH deficiency is restoring hormone levels. While traditional medical care uses synthetic HGH therapy, we take a more natural approach with HGH peptides that stimulate hormone production.

There are several types of HGH peptides, and we offer:

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a peptide that binds with the hormone that stimulates HGH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) to boost production. We use this HGH peptide to promote fat loss and boost muscle growth.

Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin peptide triggers HGH production by increasing production of growth hormone-releasing hormone. We use this HGH peptide to support muscle gain with strength training.

GHRP2

Growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP2) suppresses production of growth hormone-inhibiting hormone, while increasing the signal that triggers the release of HGH. GHRP2 supports recovery from workouts and injuries. 

GHRP6

Growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 (GHRP6) increases HGH levels by activating the cells in the pituitary gland that release the hormone. This HGH peptide is popular with fitness professionals because it helps with strength and stamina.

HGH peptides restore hormone levels, alleviating deficiency symptoms and boosting energy, stamina, and overall health.

What HGH peptide can help me?

Each HGH peptide works in a unique way to get the desired results. We may use one HGH peptide or a combination of peptides to get the best outcomes. We customize plans based on lab results, symptoms, and health goals. 

In some cases, we combine HGH peptide therapy with other treatments like testosterone replacement therapy to support muscle retention or semaglutide for help with weight loss.

Don’t dismiss your lack of energy and weight gain as an unfortunate side effect of getting older. You can fight back.
