Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Treatment at Nikos Zeniou Physiotherapy and Acupuncture Clinic

Human growth hormone (HGH) is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland and secreted into the bloodstream. It is important for cell regeneration, cell reproduction, and growth. This hormone can help build, maintain, and repair healthy tissue in the brain and other organs. It can help repair muscle tissue after exercise and speed up healing after an injury. Also, it has some benefits to the appearance and quality of the skin.

Although HGH is a substance that occurs naturally, it is also available in synthetic forms as a treatment. Synthetic HGH is approved by the FDA for specific uses in children and adults. In children, HGH treatments are approved to treat short stature disorders and poor growth caused by some medical problems, including:

• HGH insufficiency or deficiency

• Chronic kidney disease

• Prader-Willi syndrome

• Turner’s syndrome

• Children born small for gestational age.

In adults, there are several approved uses of HGH. These include:

• HGH deficiency caused by rare pituitary tumors or their treatment

• Short bowel syndrome

• Muscle loss is associated with HIV/AIDS.

HGH can also help adults with a growth hormone deficiency to improve bone density, increase exercise capacity, build muscle mass, and reduce body fat. Due to these benefits, some people use HGH treatment to enhance their athletic ability. Many people also believe that this treatment has anti-ageing effects. Note that using HGH treatment to improve athletic performance and anti-ageing has not been scientifically proven and is not FDA-approved.
