Human growth hormone (HGH) is a vital hormone produced naturally by the pituitary gland. As we age, HGH production declines leading to various undesirable effects like loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, decreased bone density, reduced energy levels, and impaired immune function.
HGH therapy involves taking bioidentical human growth hormone injections to restore optimal hormone levels, counteract age-related hormonal decline, and promote vitality. When administered properly under medical supervision, HGH therapy offers outstanding anti-aging and rejuvenating benefits.
At The Hormone Hub clinic in Pearland, we specialize in customized HGH therapy programs to help patients look and feel their best. This guide will provide an overview of HGH treatment - who it can benefit, how it works, what to expect, and why The Hormone Hub is the premier choice for HGH therapy in Pearland.
HGH therapy may be recommended for individuals experiencing:
HGH therapy is only prescribed for adults with a confirmed growth hormone deficiency. A simple blood test can determine if your IGF-1 levels are lower than optimal. Our knowledgeable medical staff will evaluate your hormone profile and symptoms to see if HGH therapy is appropriate.
Many patients notice a tremendous boost in quality of life with growth hormone replacement under proper medical supervision.
HGH injections contain bioidentical human growth hormone identical to what the body produces naturally. This HGH is administered through subcutaneous injections - a simple, painless method involving an insulin-like needle injected under the skin.
When injected, the HGH enters the bloodstream and travels to the liver triggering production of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). This is the primary hormone responsible for HGH's rejuvenating effects throughout the body and brain.
IGF-1 stimulates cell growth and regeneration. It helps build bone, muscle, and collagen while mobilizing fat stores for energy. IGF-1 also enhances nerve function and may even encourage growth of new brain cells.
With patient-tailored HGH dosing, IGF-1 levels can be restored to youthful optimal ranges, leading to remarkable benefits throughout the body:
The early stages of HGH therapy involve optimizing your dosing protocol. Bloodwork will be ordered regularly to monitor IGF-1 and adjust dosing to achieve your ideal range.
Within the first month, many patients report:
Dramatic benefits emerge over 3-6 months of therapy including significant fat loss, muscle gain, skin tightening, and anti-aging effects. Follow-up lab tests ensure optimal and safe IGF-1 levels are maintained long-term.
Exercise and healthy nutrition accelerate results. However, HGH provides benefits even without major lifestyle changes. Therapy is tailored to your personal health goals.
While often associated with performance enhancement, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency and short stature in children. When administered under medical supervision, HGH can help normalize growth in kids with growth disorders and improve quality of life without significant side effects.

Major causes of declining HGH levels include:
Lacking growth hormone leads to accelerated aging, weight gain, loss of strength/stamina, emotional effects, and impaired immunity. However, restoring levels through HGH therapy offers tremendous benefits.
Like thyroid hormone, testosterone, and estrogen, maintaining optimal HGH is essential throughout adulthood. The Hormone Hub specializes in HGH testing and replacement tailored to your needs.
There are two phases of HGH therapy:
1. Loading phase - Higher doses are used to rapidly elevate IGF-1 levels. This phase usually lasts for 1-2 months.
2. Maintenance phase - The dosage is lowered to sustain IGF-1 levels long-term. The maintenance dose is individually customized.
We begin with a thorough evaluation including your health history, lab testing, and discussion of your goals. Starting dose depends on factors like age, hormone levels, and body composition.
Ongoing blood testing tracks your IGF-1 response. Your protocol is adjusted as needed to optimize your levels, efficacy, safety, and convenience.
Patience is important as it takes time to achieve ideal dosing. With proper oversight, HGH therapy leads to outstanding benefits that continue over months and years. We partner with you to ensure your success.
HGH therapy involves subcutaneous injections - a simple method where the needle goes under the top layer of skin. This technique avoids injecting into muscle or veins.

Step 1) Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Step 2) Wipe the vial stopper with an alcohol wipe.
Step 3) Pull back the syringe plunger to your prescribed dose.
Step 4) Inject the needle into the vial and push the plunger to inject air.
Step 5) Tilt vial upside down. Pull back on the plunger to withdraw the dose.
Step 6) Tap the syringe to remove bubbles and push plunger to the prescribed dose.
Step 7) Clean injection site with alcohol wipe. Pinch up skin.
Step 8) Insert the needle fully under skin at 45 degree angle. Push plunger down. Hold briefly before removing.
Step 9) Apply light pressure with gauze. Gently massage area.
Step 10) Discard syringe safely. Store HGH refrigerated.
