HGH Medications
Adults diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency have a number of high-quality HGH medications they can use to boost their hormone levels. The type of medication depends on the severity of the growth hormone deficiency.
For those who are already dealing with multiple symptoms of low growth hormone levels, HGH therapy is the better choice. HGH injections provide an immediate supply of human growth hormone for the body’s receptor cells to utilize. Results begin to appear within a matter of weeks.
In the earlier stages of growth hormone decline, only minor, if any symptoms are present. At this time, the use of a secretagogue – a peptide that stimulates growth hormone production by the pituitary gland is an excellent and less expensive choice. Both sermorelin and ipamorelin are two medications that accomplish boosting growth hormone secretion. The results take a few months to appear, but that is not a problem since symptoms of growth hormone deficiency will not be affecting one’s life.
