Can Human Growth Hormone Slow the Aging Process?

It has been said that human growth hormone (HGH) can slow the aging process.

It is hard to definitively conclude that HGH slows the aging process. However, HGH has many “anti-aging” properties, and growth hormone therapy can help older adults to age more optimally, and enjoy a better quality of life.

How Does HGH Help You to Age More Optimally?

HGH is a vital hormone that is made by your pituitary gland. Growth hormone’s main function is to stimulate the growth and maturity of bone and muscle tissue. As such it is primarily responsible for a child growing up to be an adult of full height and stature.

Even as adults, we continue to need HGH. HGH helps to regulate and maintain your tissues and organs. It plays a vital role in keeping your immune system strong and healthy. It keeps your skin tight and fit, and has been linked to sexual performance, emotional wellness, and mental acuity.

Despite all these important functions, HGH levels dwindle the older you get. Many of the symptoms we think of as “aging,” such as: fatigue, weakness, weight gain, muscle loss, loss of bone density, and sexual performance issues, can all be a result of declining HGH levels as we age.

This is why supplemental HGH has many benefits that we can refer to as “anti-aging.”

There are many anti-aging properties of HGH.

What Are the Anti-aging Benefits of HGH?

The anti-aging benefits of growth hormone therapy are many. Have you ever looked at an older celebrity and thought, “wow, how do they look so good?” The answer, (whether they will admit it or not) is because many of them use human growth hormone.

In 1990, a landmark medical study into the anti-aging benefits of HGH therapy for age-related HGH decline was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, by Daniel Rudman, MD, with the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Rudman studied a group of men aged 61 to 81, who were identified as having low levels of HGH. Using typical double-blind protocols, half of the men in the study were given HGH injections, the other half, a placebo. The men receiving the HGH clearly showed its benefits. Specifically, these men over the age of 60 saw increased muscle tone, loss of fat, and regenerated skin quality.

In the decades since, there have been many other studies that have proven the anti-aging effects of prescription HGH injections when they are used to treat age-related growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

Most recently, a 2019 study on HGH and anti-aging, published in The World Journal of Men’s Health, concluded that HGH replacement therapy, could increase the lifespan of mice, and potentially of humans.

Some of the well-established anti-aging benefits of HGH include:

• More efficient metabolism of fat and its conversion to energy, resulting in a leaner body and increased energy levels.
• Increased muscle mass, improved tissue and skin repair, renewal of skin cells.
• Improved sleep patterns resulting in improved brain functioning and better moods.
• Increased libido and improved sexual performance

HGH can help men and women feel and look younger as they age.

The Remarkable Before and After Anti-aging Results of HGH

Does growth hormone therapy actually slow the aging process? Since there are so many factors that influence a person’s lifespan, that is awfully hard to say. However, it can help you to lose weight and increase you muscle tone, both of which can reduce your risk of heart disease and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Lowering such risks may add years to your life.

Beyond that, we do know that there are remarkable “before and after” results for our patients who have taken growth hormone for six months. Here is a month by month breakdown of the anti-aging benefits of HGH replacement.

Your results will of course vary, depending on your age, symptoms, and prescribed dosage of HGH. Your doctor will prescribe the correct anti-aging dose of HGH for your particular needs and lifestyle.
