The Most Effective Hormone Replacement Therapies
Growth hormone therapy is the safest and most effective way to treat men or women suffering from a growth hormone deficiency. The only way to take authentic growth hormone is via injections. Many patients who have been prescribed HGH therapy wonder if there is a best time to take their growth hormone injections.
Since your natural HGH levels fluctuate throughout the day, for the most part, it does not really matter when you take your growth hormone injection. However, depending on your given prescription for growth hormone, your age, and lifestyle, there could be one time of day that is better than another for your growth hormone injections.

For a lot of growth hormone therapy patients, doctors will simply recommend you take your HGH injections, at night just before bed. This way it becomes part of your night time routine, and you are not under pressure to do it in the morning when you may be rushing to get to work, or have your mind on other things.
However, that may not always be the case. Here are some other things to consider, when you are thinking about the best time to administer growth hormone injections.
If you are splitting your dose two times a day, it is recommended that you do one HGH injection in the morning and one in the late afternoon. This is because your natural release of cortisol is highest in the early morning and late afternoon, and HGH injections can counteract the metabolism slowing and emotionally draining effects of cortisol.

When given properly, growth hormone injections have been clinically proven to be the safest and most effective way to treat growth hormone deficiency (GHD). There is no greater risk of side-effects created by the time of day you choose to take your HGH injections.
All growth hormone injections are a Somatotropin, which is human growth hormone made from recombinant DNA. The HGH, or Somatotropin, in all prescription growth hormone injection kits, is identical to the HGH produced by your own body. However, it does require some special care, and some education on how to effectively give yourself your growth hormone injections.
There are several brand names of growth hormone injections. Some of the most popular brands of growth hormone injections include:
The various brands of HGH injections vary mostly in their dosages and injection methods.
Do not be intimidated by the idea of having to self-inject a medication. Millions of people give themselves growth hormone injections every day without incident. It is not hard to learn how to give yourself growth hormone injections. Your physician, PA, or nurse practitioner will make sure you are thoroughly trained on how to prepare and administer your growth hormone injections.
Whether you take your HGH injections at night, in the morning, or the afternoon, the steps to administer HGH injection therapy are the same. If you are using the type of HGH injection kit that uses syringes, you will use one syringe and two needles for each injection. One needle will be used to draw the water to reconstitute the growth hormone, and to mix it, the other will be used to administer the actual injection. The tube part of the syringe is graduated, with measurements like a ruler, so you can accurately measure the water to reconstitute the HGH and your dosage. Make sure you use new/sterile needles from the sealed package for each injection. If a syringe or needle seal is broken or open —- DISCARD IT AND USE ANOTHER NEEDLE (they are not expensive). Most kits will have two ampules of liquid. One contains the HGH, the other sodium chloride (sterilized) water to mix it with. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WATER TO MIX THE GROWTH HORMONE.
Your kit may also contain alcohol swabs to sterilize the injection site, and rubber gloves.
Chose a calm, well-lit area to administer your HGH injection, with a flat surface to lay out all of your growth hormone injection supplies. Be sure no one, or nothing in the area, will disturb you, so that you can totally concentrate on properly administering your HGH injection.
As each kit could be different, your doctor or nurse practitioner will provide you with the exact step-by-step procedure to mix and administer you growth hormone injections. However generally speaking, the steps to administer a growth hormone injection are:
Following the above steps with care will make this a safe and easy process to follow.

You will be completely trained on how to administer your growth hormone injections. You will leave our offices confident that you will be able to administer your HGH injections properly, and with as little pain and discomfort as possible. In the HGH injection kits that still use syringes, the needles are very thin, much like the ones that diabetics use to administer insulin shots, and so are barely noticeable beyond a pinch when done correctly. Some of the newer HGH injections use premeasured auto-pen injectors. Todays modern syringes and needles are made with extreme precision making them almost painless.
Growth hormone injections are given subcutaneously, or just below the skin. Which means that unlike other injections that have to be given directly into muscles (intramuscular injections), making them relatively painless.
A fear of needles or injections is no reason to deny yourself the many positive benefits of growth hormone injections.
