Growth Hormone Therapy Growth Hormone Sterostim has been in popular use in the anti-aging industry for many years. Patients on medically supervised Growth Hormone therapy have reported increased stamina and energy, decreased body fat, increased skin tone and elasticity, and an overall feeling of well-being. Much controversy and, unfortunately, abuse surrounds this treatment. It is naturally made by your pituitary gland at the base of the brain. It is responsible for formation and maintenance of many tissues, especially connective tissues, muscle, and bone. It also works in the regulation of other hormone pathways in a "governing" capacity. Growth Hormone levels are highest in childhood; as we age, levels of Growth Hormone gradually decrease, and it has been suggested that replacement of it may lead to increased longevity through the maintenance of tissues and other hormone pathways. Patients on medically supervised Growth Hormone therapy have reported increased stamina and energy, decreased body fat, increased skin tone and elasticity, and an overall feeling of well-being. Growth Hormone is only effectively administered by injection under the skin, a technique which is easily taught. The Growth Hormone molecule is small and fragile, and has a limited stability in solution. Like insulin, another small hormone, Growth Hormone has essentially no absorption when administered orally or nasally with pills or sprays. Even with our modern technology, we are as of yet unable to provide either insulin or Growth Hormone in a form other than an injectable. There is much research ongoing in this field; there are hundreds of thousands of diabetics who would love to throw away their insulin syringes! Please do not waste your money on oral or nasal Growth Hormone supplements or Growth Hormone "stimulants". We will be happy to advise you on the benefits and possible side effects of Growth Hormone therapy. Growth Hormone is not administered to advanced diabetics or to persons with active malignancies (cancers). A comprehensive medical history and physical examination will be performed prior to initiation of Growth Hormone therapy.
