Human growth hormone (HGH) has many anti-aging benefits.
Before we discuss the various anti-aging abilities of HGH, first, let’s define exactly what we mean by the term “anti-aging.”
Ant-aging medicine is the branch of medicine that aims to reduce the chance of developing aging-related diseases and conditions by targeting the biological process of aging through lifestyle changes and proven therapies such as hormone replacement.
The world’s largest advocate for anti-aging medicine is the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). Doctor Ronald Klatz, one of the Founders of A4M and author of the book, Grow Young with HGH, has said, "The anti-aging effects of growth hormone are global, acting on both mind and body, anatomy and physiology, form and function…
By replenishing your supply of growth hormone, you can recover your vigor, health, looks, and sexuality."
Growth hormone is one of your body’s most important hormones. HGH is a vital hormone. HGH is responsible for the health and vitality of every cell and tissue in your body. However, as critical as HGH is to your health and wellness, unfortunately, your levels of HGH decline as you age. Almost all of the things we think of as "signs of aging" — fatigue, weight gain, sexual health issues, memory problems, and more — can all be attributed to this drop in HGH.
Since most if not all of the symptoms of "aging" can be linked to lowered levels of HGH as we age, it was only natural for doctors to wonder if giving older patients HGH could reverse some of these symptoms.
The first breakthrough study to illustrate the anti-aging effects of HGH was published in 1990 by Dr. Daniel Rudman at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Dr. Rudman’s results were published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Rudman’s research clearly showed the many anti-aging benefits of HGH. The men in the study who had been given HGH (as opposed to placebo) showed increased muscle tone, loss of fat, younger-looking skin, and reported a feeling of "greater overall wellbeing."
Since the publication of the landmark Rudman study, the anti-aging benefits of HGH have been confirmed by extensive clinical use and many other studies. Most recently, a 2019 study on HGH and anti-aging published in The World Journal of Men’s Health concluded that HGH replacement therapy could increase the lifespan of mice and potentially of humans.
Some of the well-established anti-aging benefits of HGH for both men and for women include:
The use of prescription HGH is generally recognized as safe. However, like any medication, even when properly prescribed by your doctor for anti-aging, HGH can have some side effects. Some of the more general negative effects of HGH injections for men and women include:
The complete list of possible negative effects of HGH on men, including less common and rare HGH side effects, include:
It is absolutely legal to use HGH for its anti-aging benefits – if it has been prescribed for you by your doctor. In order for your doctor to prescribe HGH to you for anti-aging, you must first be diagnosed with an age-related growth hormone deficiency. A diagnosis of age-related HGH loss requires specific blood tests.
It is totally ILLEGAL to purchase or use HGH for anti-aging or any other purposes without a doctor’s prescription. Furthermore, legitimate growth hormone therapy for adults is only given via injections. Any product claiming to be HGH or contain HGH that you can buy online or anywhere else without a prescription cannot by law contain any actual growth hormone.
Does growth hormone therapy actually slow the aging process? Since there are so many factors that influence a person’s lifespan, that is awfully hard to say. However, it can help you to lose weight and increase your muscle tone, both of which can reduce your risk of heart disease and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Lowering such risks may add years to your life.
Beyond that, we do know that there are remarkable “before and after” results for our patients who have taken growth hormone for six months. Here is a month-by-month breakdown of the anti-aging benefits of HGH replacement.
Your results will, of course, vary, depending on your age, symptoms, and prescribed dosage of HGH. Your doctor will prescribe the correct anti-aging dose of HGH for your particular needs and lifestyle.
Month One
The physical, emotional, and cognitive anti-aging benefits of HGH take time. But even in the first month of taking HGH injections, you will see some "before and after changes. Within the first month of HGH therapy, you can expect:
Month Two
During the second month of being on growth hormone therapy, you can expect:
Months Three and Four
During the third month of HGH replacement and into the fourth, you can expect:
Month Five
After five months of prescription HGH injections, you can expect:
Month Six
As you complete the sixth and final month of HGH replacement therapy, you will likely have achieved all of the remarkable anti-aging benefits of HGH. You will hardly recognize the person you see in the mirror. This is the time we usually take the incredible "before and after" HGH therapy pictures you see on the walls of our HGH clinic and on our website.
The goal of anti-aging medicine is to use lifestyle and behavior modification, along with proven therapies like HGH replacement, to help prevent age-related disease, and thereby help you to potentially live longer. We cannot say that HGH directly leads to a longer life.
However, by reducing systemic inflammation, boosting your metabolism, and lowering your risks of developing conditions such as diabetes and heart disease — HGH can certainly improve your chances of living longer.
What we can say definitively is that HGH will help you to age better . You will have more energy and greater overall health that will allow to continue you to enjoy all the things your love to do. In other words, HGH may or may not add years to your life – but it certainly can add life to your years!
There has been clinical research that verifies the anti-aging and potential lifespan increasing abilities of HGH.
The National Institutes of Health have recently provided the Ohio University Edison Biotechnology Institute and Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine with a $2.23 million to John Kopchick, Ph.D., to follow up his earlier work that found that growth hormone could extend the lifespan of mice.
Beyond this and other studies that have indicated the specific anti-aging benefits of HGH, there is a wealth of other scientific studies that prove the other benefits of growth hormone therapy. Here are some examples.
The ability of HGH to raise metabolism and increase your ability to burn fat has been well documented. A study entitled Obesity, growth hormone, and weight loss, concluded that growth hormone could indeed reduce abdominal fat.
Another found that HGH specifically reduced obesity in post-menopausal women. And yet another on HGH and weight loss in children confirmed that "HGH had [fat burning] properties that resulted in reduction and redistribution of body fat."
A recent study analyzed the impact of growth hormone therapy on muscle mass and power in adult men. The results showed that HGH injections "significantly increased" exercise capacity, led to positive changes in body compositions, and decreased total body fat, and increased lean muscle mass.
Any man or woman who is over 40 and who looks in the mirror and is not happy with what they see — can look and feel younger with growth hormone therapy. But how do you find the best anti-aging doctor or anti-aging clinic to prescribe your HGH therapy?
You definitely want to look for a doctor or clinic that specializes in “anti-aging medicine.” You want to look for a clinic that is a member of or partners with the A4M and or has practitioners who have fellowships or certifications in anti-aging medicine.
But beyond that, you want to work with an anti-aging clinic that is experienced and has a proven track record of helping people to look and feel younger with HGH and other hormone replacement therapies. Hormone replacement is as much an art as it is a science.
HGH therapy and other hormone therapies are not a "one size fits all" kind of solution. You want to work with a clinic that not only understands the anti-aging benefits of HGH for adults but also knows how to tailor them to your particular needs. Before signing up with any anti-aging clinic for HGH therapy, ask them these questions:
Working with the right anti-aging clinic will help you to achieve the best before and after results of HGH therapy.
Now that you know a lot more about the anti-aging benefits of HGH for adults, why not take a minute to contact us and learn more about how growth hormone replacement therapy can improve your quality of life.
