Human Growth Hormone

Human growth hormone, HGH or GH (growth hormone) is a hormone that begins to decline around the age of 30 in males and females.  Hormones rule the body and regulate bodily functions and when their levels decrease, hormone balances will cause many of the diseases that accompany the aging process.  Hormones effect every organ in the body and when one of those hormones is out of balance, a chain reaction can occur with all the hormones.  HGH should only be used in conjunction with the other bioidentical hormones that your doctor has prescribed.

The aging process and the decrease in hormone levels cause physical, physiological and psychological changes in the body. Hormone deficiencies aid to accelerate the aging process and cause all kinds of problems such as insulin, thyroid and adrenal insufficiencies.  Balanced hormones will help cholesterol, weight loss, muscle wasting, bone strength, feelings of well being, energy levels, protect against heart attack and cancer.

Natural bioidentical hormones such as estrogen (estradiol, estrone and estriol), progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone all assist with maintaining our health.  Adding human growth hormone to this combination will offer many anti aging / health benefits.  Although HGH has a negative reputation because of over use and abuse by athletes, prescribed in the correct dosages – just to replace the HGH levels that are diminished in the body will provide powerful immune-stimulating results.

Human growth hormone is thought to, but not proven to increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and diabetes, but there is no scientific research that confirms this.  A study has shown, in fact, that people with severely low levels of HGH had a 50 per cent increase in cancer.  HGH is prescribed to people with dwarfism to help with muscle, bone development and growth.  When prescribed as an anti aging bioidentical hormone, it will help with muscle strength and definition, slow down atrophy of the organs, assist with combating anxiety, strengthen bones, fight wrinkles and stimulate the metabolism.

It is prescribed as a bioidentical hormone and will help with anti aging and age management issues.  It is used for anti aging and balancing the hormone system.  It has developed a reputation as an anti aging hormone because of results which help fight wrinkles, increase muscle mass which deteriorates as you grow older, and boosts metabolism and energy levels. People who use HGH have lost large percentages of body fat thereby losing a great amount of excess weight.

Human growth hormone is difficult to obtain and must be obtained through a bioidentical doctor by prescription.  Human growth hormone can also be increased by using supplements to boost its production in the body.  These amino acid supplements include glycine, tyrosine, lysine, arginine, ornithine and glutamine and should be taken with potassium, zinc, vitamin B3, B6 and C.

HGH supplements are administered by injection or homeopathic drops which you can obtain from your doctor or naturopath by prescription at a compounding pharmacy.  Human growth hormone should not be taken alone; it should be used in combination with other bioidentical hormones because the goal is to achieve balance with your hormone levels as you age.  When using HGH, you should ensure that you are eating healthy meals with protein at every meal, exercising, reducing your stress levels and sleeping properly.  Speak with your medical professional before embarking on any hormone supplement program.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Many women and men are seeking health ways to deal with menopause and andropause and, after much research, have decided to use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to deal with the symptoms they are experiencing. Other women, I have spoken to, having read a little about the Women’s Health Study in 2002 have decided not to use hormones at all and suffer through the symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause. They will suffer the sleepless nights, the unnecessary weight gain, the night sweats, the hot flashes. Surely, this detracts from their quality of life.

I spoke with one woman who told me the heat in her house does not go higher than 17 degrees Celsius because she has been suffering from hot flashes for seven years. She says she does not travel south in the winter anymore because it is too hot in the Caribbean. She said that she had tried some herbal remedies but they take time to work and she doesn’t keep taking them. She refuses to take anything with the word “hormone” in it and refuses to even learn about bioidentical hormones. I feel sorry for her because her quality of life has decreased so much. Seven years of hot flashes would drive anyone insane.

The knowledge is out there, and one only has to read any new book on antiaging, speak with any doctor who has any knowledge on hormones and it is a well known fact now that most women and men need to use some sort of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to achieve any kind of quality of life as we age. I spoke very recently with a leading Toronto gynecologist, Dr. Douglas J. Gare, who confirms that hormone supplementation is necessary.

So many doctors in the United States are currently providing health services to women and as women demand more and more natural treatments to cure them, they are demanding bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to treat their symptoms. Slowly doctors in Canada are catching on. However, it is still difficult to find a doctor to prescribe bioidentical hormones, and monitor your hormone levels in Canada. One of our readers sadly reported she could not find any doctor in Saskatchewan to prescribe her bioidentical hormones. She will have to travel to another province or even to the United States to get bioidentical hormones to treat her symptoms. Other readers are also writing us to ask which doctors provide this service but are covered by O.H.I.P. Regretfully, there are only a few that are not charging extra for this service. If you check out our Doctors Canada page, you will find that we have been placing the word “O.H.I.P.” after the doctor’s name.

Please email us at inquiries [at] pureageless [dot] com, if you are lucky enough to have found a doctor who prescribes bioidentical hormones and they are not listed on our pages. We will update our bioidentical doctors’ page for other women and men who desperately need to find a bioidentical doctor to help treat their symptoms.

We continue to update our pages with the names of doctors who can prescribe bioidentical hormones. We always advise women who are seeking a doctor to check with their local compounding pharmacy for the names of doctors who will prescribe bioidentical hormones. Compounding pharmacies are one of our best sources of information for this.

Keep fighting for your rights to use bioidentical hormones as a natural bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and stay healthy in the New Year!
