Human Growth Hormone
Rejuvenate only prescribes humangrowthhormone if a comprehensive evaluation reveals an adult growth hormone deficiency.
Our prescribing protocols and analyses are based on our research and evaluation of multiple controlled studies from peer-reviewed journals. Rejuvenate engaged outside counsel to conduct a review of its prescribing protocols and believes these protocols are consistent with the law arid FDA guidelines.
Our evidence-based approach incorporates hormone modulation to help patients regain and maintain metabolic and endocrine functions at the upper end of the normal range, adjusted for the patient's age creating the best opportunity for a healthier and more vigorous life.
The science of hGH. The master hormone, secreted by cells called somatrophs, acts on the liver and almost every other tissue in the body. It stimulates IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) production. Which ultimately yields growth-promoting effects. Exercise, stress, emotional excitement, diet and aging ail affect the quantity of hGH production.
By measuring levels of IGF-1, we determine the amount of growth hormone in your body. In youth, hGH is critical to bone, organ and all aspects of development. Having too little causes dwarfism; occasionally, a tumor of the pituitary gland produces excess growth, which can result in gigantism.
Both growth hormone and its metabolite IGF-l begin decreasing between 15 and 20 years old; continuing to decline rapidly from that point. Although growth hormone is no longer needed for growth in adulthood, it remains essential for many other vital functions.
A cell generator, hGH carries the singular title of "master hormone." It is a complex protein molecule, made up of 191 amino acids that are synthesized in the anterior pituitary gland and released in pulses, mostly during sleep and after heavy resistance training.
This master hormone affects all other hormones, organs and body cells. It is necessary for repair and restorative abilities at the cellular level, beyond those of any other hormone.
Also known as somatotropin, hGH aids growth, healing, immune system function, muscle mass and strength, body fat reduction, cholesterol level control, bone strength and energy maintenance-including sexual energy and performance, Adult growth hormone deficiency does exist, significantly impairing an individual's ability to obtain optimal physiology.
Identifying hGH. The hormone was first isolated in the mid-50s. Its structure wasn't identified until the early '70s. By the mid-80s, the only hGH source was collected, post mortern from pituitary glands. Genetic engineering has changed all that. Recombinant hGH is now available from FDA-approved pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Is hGH for everyone? Absolutely not. Rejuvenate only prescribes hGH for patients with a proven growth hormone adult deficiency.
