Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a vital hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, leading to signs of aging and health issues. HGH therapy can help raise hormone levels back to an optimal range to promote wellbeing.
Declining HGH levels affect people differently, but common deficiency signs are:
HGH deficiency can seriously impact quality of life. Research shows restoring levels can help ameliorate deficiency symptoms, improve body composition, enhance exercise capacity, support emotional wellbeing, and even increase life expectancy.
HGH therapy at the Second Spring Hormone Clinic delivers bioidentical growth hormone to mimic the body’s natural Somatotropin. Treatment is tailored to the individual patient for optimal safety and efficacy.
Therapeutic benefits may include:
- Increased lean body mass - more muscle and bone density - Decreased body fat, especially visceral fat around organs - Support achieving or maintaining a healthy weight
- Build strength, stamina and fitness - Improved exercise ability and faster recovery - Elevated energy levels and less fatigue
- Bolster the immune system - Support heart health - Increase IGF-1 levels for protective and regenerative cellular effects - Help achieve optimal lipid profiles
- Improve emotional balance and mental wellbeing - Enhance libido and sexual performance - Provide deeper, more restorative sleep - Tighter skin, thicker hair and stronger nails - Overall rejuvenating effects
HGH therapy has the potential to deliver transformative improvements in health markers, physical performance, appearance and personal satisfaction.

If a growth hormone deficiency is confirmed, a customized treatment plan will be developed including:
At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we provide instruction for patients to self-administer daily HGH shots subcutaneously for steady infusions. Starting doses average 0.3 to 0.5 IU per day, or 1 to 3 IU per week, which are gradually titrated over 3-6 months based on patient response and lab work.
HGH therapy is an ongoing commitment with regular follow ups at our hormone clinic. Patients can expect to visit our center near Hercules every 2-3 months for progress evaluations, lab testing, and dosage adjustments until optimal hormonal balance and treatment goals are achieved.
Despite being controversial, HGH therapy has shown promise for treating muscle wasting in AIDS patients. In studies, AIDS patients gaining lean body mass from HGH therapy had improved energy, strength, and quality of life. More research is still needed on its long-term impacts.
Since growth hormone deficiency worsens over time, it is critical to accurately diagnose and promptly treat the condition before deficiencies become more severe. Starting HGH therapy early leads to better therapeutic outcomes.
