Testosterone therapy and Growth Hormone replacement, when used together, are a powerful antiaging combination.
Either testosterone replacement or human growth hormone (HGH) have impressive benefits in their own right. However, when you combine growth hormone therapy with low testosterone treatment, the results can be astonishing and may make you feel as if you truly have found the proverbial Fountain of Youth.
HGH and testosterone have what is known as a synergistic effect. That means the biological effects of one enhances those of the other. Both testosterone and growth hormone are essential for:
But the most important thing that growth hormone and testosterone have in common is that the levels of each of these vital hormones drop as you age. This means that most men and women between the ages of 45 and 65 are suffering from some degree of either growth hormone deficiency, testosterone deficiency, or in many cases, both!
Growth hormone and testosterone are both very important hormones; however, they are not the same thing.
Testosterone is a male or sex hormone belonging to the class of hormones known as "androgens." Growth hormone is a protein made and secreted by the pituitary gland.
However, they are both known as “anabolic hormones.” The word anabolic in medical terms simply means something that stimulates the growth of cells and tissues. Both human growth hormone and testosterone stimulate and regulate all the processes that allow a boy to grow into a man. As such, both HGH and testosterone levels are extremely high in children and in adolescents.
However, once you hit your 20s, the levels of HGH and testosterone in your blood peak — after that, they start a steady decline.
Both HGH and testosterone work in harmony to provide strength, vitality, and peak performance at any age. Without adequate amounts of either of these two hormones, your body would never be able to burn fat or build muscle.
Unfortunately, your levels of both growth hormone and testosterone decline as you age. There is also another thing these two hormones have in common. The symptoms of both low testosterone and age-related growth hormone deficiency are practically the same. In fact, studies have shown that a decrease in human growth hormone may spark a decrease in testosterone levels and vice versa.
The good news, however, is that older patients suffering from low levels of either, or both, can benefit from hormone replacement therapy.
For men or women suffering from age-related testosterone deficiency, the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy are many. One of the first benefits of testosterone therapy that men notice is an improvement in their sex lives. There are many ways beyond sexual performance that testosterone therapy can help improve your quality of life.
Many men say that testosterone therapy has given them “their edge back.” Besides feeling physically stronger, and more fit, much of that feeling of renewed power comes from the fact that testosterone therapy also improves mood, focus, and concentration.
In addition to increasing the libido, and having a positive impact on cognition, testosterone therapy also:
Similarly, men or women feeling the effects of declining HGH levels as they age can benefit greatly from growth hormone therapy. Some of the many benefits of growth hormone injections include:
Certainly, you have heard the expression “two are better than one?” That is often the case when it comes to hormone replacement therapy.
When patients come to us suffering from low testosterone, they almost always are suffering from age-related growth hormone loss as well. The reverse is also often true – if you have a growth hormone deficiency, it is more than likely that you will also have low testosterone as well.
This is why many of our patients benefit from combining HGH replacement with testosterone therapy. If you look at the overall benefits of both hormone replacement therapies, you will find that they produce some very positive effects on your health and vitality.
In addition, recent research has shown that the use of both hormones simultaneously increases muscle mass and decreases body fat, more than just using one of the hormones alone.
The surest, safest, and most effective way to boost your levels of growth hormone and testosterone is via hormone replacement therapy. However, there are some ways that you may be able to naturally boost your levels of these critical hormones. You can increase your HGH and testosterone levels by:
The bottom line is, if you are no longer feeling like the man or woman you once were or would like to be, you may benefit from growth hormone therapy and or testosterone therapy.
Research has proven the efficacy of combining HGH with testosterone. A 2014 study published in the Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine set out to find out the impact on strength and endurance of HGH and testosterone injections on men diagnosed with andropause. The researchers split the men into two groups; one was given a daily exercise and fitness routine, the other, the same routine, but also supplemental HGH and testosterone injections.
The study concluded that the "physical activity alone did not cause significant changes in body mass and composition, nor the anaerobic and aerobic capacity [stamina]. On the other hand, HGH plus testosterone treatment stimulated these changes significantly."
Several research studies have shown that growth hormone can increase testosterone production. A 2002 study published in the medical journal, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, concluded that growth hormone therapy in otherwise healthy older men increased testosterone levels and lead to improvements in strength, balance, body composition, and sexual performance. Another study in the Endocrine Journal also concluded that HGH injections increased testosterone production.
Studies have also found that the converse is true – testosterone therapy positively influences the effects of growth hormone.
Now that you know more about how to testosterone therapy and HGH can be used together, why not take a minute to contact us and learn more about how hormone replacement therapy can improve your quality of life?
