Adult growth hormone deficiency and why Sermorelin.

Maintaining a proper hormonal balance is a great way to head off some manifestations that we all experience with aging.  Adult growth hormone deficiency  is medical condition that exists when the body simply does not produce adequate levels of growth hormone.  This can be due to several causes, but primarily due to damage to the pituitary gland and genetic issues.  There are some instances where there is no obvious cause for the deficiency exists and that is said to be idiopathic.  

Symptoms:

  • Increased abdominal fat
  • Reduced vitality & energy
  • Poor general health
  • Reduced strength
  • Depressed moods & anxiety

The test for GH deficiency:  Since GH is rapidly converted to IGF-1 (Insulin like growth factor - 1 or Somatomedin-C) and can not be easily measured directly.  The test for hGH is IGF-1 levels, with ideal ranges being between 200-300 ug/ml.  Growth hormone deficiency is then typically defined by IGF-1 levels below 160 ug/ml.

Due to the cost prohibitive nature and the legality of growth hormone, Sermorelin has become a viable option utilizing amino acids to stimulate the body's own natural production of growth hormone.  Dr. Novins explains that sermorelin is not growth hormone, but two naturally occurring amino acids that communicate with the pituitary gland to make additional growth hormone. Since the increased volume of human growth hormone (hGH) is produced by the body's own pituitary gland, the body will not allow too much hGH to be produced by Sermorelin GHRP6 than what it can safely process.  This eliminates the potential side effects that comes with over dosing of direct injections of hGH.  

The benefits of Sermorelin GHRP therapy may include an increase in lean muscle mass, stronger joints, connective tissue, and bone density, improved mood, mental state, energy, improved libido, increase in sleep quality, and a decrease in body fat.  The outward benefits that are clearly visible come in the form of an overall improvement in skin quality.

Patients are prescribed Sermorelin are able to safely administer subcutaneous injections in the privacy of their own home.
