Low growth hormone

What is low growth hormone?

Growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin, is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration, and plays an essential role in maintaining healthy bones, muscle, and tissue.

A growth hormone deficiency means the pituitary gland does not make enough growth hormone. When GH levels are low, especially in childhood, it can lead to significant health issues including:

• Impaired growth and short stature


• Increased body fat, especially abdominal obesity
  Decreased muscle mass and strength
  Higher cholesterol levels
  Poor bone density and higher fracture risk


• Lack of energy, decreased stamina

Adults can also develop growth hormone deficiency. Common symptoms include:

• Decreased muscle strength, reduced exercise capacity
  Emotional issues like social isolation, anxiety, and depression


• Problems with memory and concentration
  Infertility, sexual dysfunction


• Metabolic issues like high LDL cholesterol

If you suspect low GH levels, it's important to get tested and treated if deficient. A simple and accurate blood test can check your IGF-1 and GH serum levels.

The great news is treatment with real bioidentical human growth hormones can reverse symptoms and help people live healthier lives!
