The most common signs and symptoms of HGH deficiency in adults include:
- Extreme and persistent fatigue not relieved by sleep - Lack of energy making daily tasks difficult - Feeling constantly "run down" and sluggish
- Loss of lean muscle mass - Muscle weakness, especially upper body - Reduced ability to exercise due to fatigue and weakness
- Weight gain, especially around the waist and belly - Increase in body fat percentage - Difficulty losing weight with diet and exercise
- Inability to focus and reduced mental clarity - Forgetfulness and difficulty recalling facts - Overall "brain fog"
- Sad or depressed mood for no reason - Increased anxiety and negativity - Mood swings and irritability
- Thinning hair or balding patches - Dry, thinning skin - Reduced skin elasticity and wound healing

If multiple symptoms are significantly impacting quality of life, HGH deficiency may be the cause.
HGH stands for human growth hormone, which is essential for health:
- HGH is made by the pituitary gland in the brain - It promotes growth during childhood and teens - It continues to support metabolism and cell renewal in adults
- HGH production peaks in early adulthood then declines - This decline speeds up significantly after age 30 - By 60 many people have very low HGH levels
- Restores HGH levels to healthy young adult range - Relieves symptoms and reverses manifestations - Allows patients to feel healthy and energetic again
- HGH injections 3-7 times per week - Stimulates pituitary gland to produce more HGH - Dosage adjusted based on blood tests and response
HGH therapy can successfully treat deficiency when correctly administered under medical supervision.
Accurately diagnosing and treating HGH deficiency involves:
- Take note if multiple symptoms appear and worsen - Track lifestyle factors like diet, sleep and stress - Consider family history of endocrine issues
- Start with general health exams and hormone blood panels - Confirm HGH deficiency with stimulation tests - Evaluate pituitary and endocrine function
- Start injections under doctor supervision - Begin with low dose and adjust based on response - Monitor progress with follow up blood tests
- Improve diet, nutrition and gut health - Practice stress reduction techniques - Make sleep a priority for health
Diagnosing and addressing HGH deficiency early leads to better outcomes long-term.
