How Sermorelin can be used for people with HGHD

Human Growth Hormone

By Kiran AndleebPublished 6 years ago 3 min read

Most people understand that things will change as they get older. While some of those changes can be accommodated into a new lifestyle, others are just not functional with the type of quality of life you want to lead.

Hormone Deficiencies

Your body produces a number of hormones and deficiencies in any of those can cause issues. There are testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen, and the human growth hormone to name the most significant ones. A decrease of any of these can affect sexual function, fertility, and moods.

However, the human growth hormone is a bit of a master key for your body as it controls and works with all body organs and other hormones. A reduction in HGH could lead to decreased energy, migraines, weight gain around the belly, bone, and muscle loss. It could also be related to insomnia and sexual function.

Sure, there is a natural reduction in hormone production but there are other reasons that your body stops producing things like HGH. These are unnatural hormone decreases that can be remedied with supplements and hormone replacement therapies.

Hormone production can be thrown off course by things such as an accident that results in head trauma, a medical condition, medical treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation, and even some environmental factors like pollution or exposure to toxic substances.

Options to Increase Hormone Levels

There are a couple of ways to increase hormone levels like the human growth hormone in your body. The easiest way for those suffering from a natural production decrease is to use supplements. These can be bought over the counter without a prescription. They are made with natural products and are safe by all Federal Drug Administration (FDA) standards.

These products come in pills, gels, patches, and creams. Most can be put directly on the area where the problem is targeted for symptom relief, although pills provide overall support throughout the body.

Those who suffer from an unnatural decrease in hormone production should consider hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provide through a clinic. There are laws regarding who can obtain legal human growth hormone therapy but those who have an unnatural decline in HGH production can get a prescription.

Options for Medications

Understanding which medication you should use in your growth hormone therapy requires that you understand how hormone production works. HGH is produced by the pituitary gland. There are two options to get more of the growth hormone into your body. Your HRT doctor can use a bioidentical growth hormone and inject it directly into your body or can use a stimulating agent to force the pituitary gland to increase the production of the natural hormone.

One popular medication used in those receiving HGH replacement treatments is sermorelin. Sermorelin is an effective catalyst for releasing the growth hormone. It stimulates the pituitary gland so the gland releases more of the human growth hormone.

Sermorelin can't be used if you are allergic to any component in it. Some medical conditions don't respond well to it, so it isn't recommended for women who are pregnant, about to become pregnant or are breast-feeding, those who are on other prescription or non-prescription medicines, and those who have a head injury or certain other chronic diseases.

Common side effects of this medication are facial flushing, nausea, headache,s and swelling at the injection site.

Somatropin is a synthetic version of the human growth hormone and is used to treat HGH deficiency. This medication matches the natural growth hormone of somatotropin. somatotropin is the generic name for the medication. Other brand names include Nutropin AQ NuSpin 10 and Ominitrope.

Nutropin can be used to treat short bowel syndrome or to prevent severe weight loss to those with chronic health conditions such as AIDS in adults, as well as other purposes. It isn't recommended to use this medication if you have diabetic retinopathy or cancer if you are severely overweight or have chronic breathing issues or lung failure.

Omnitrope is another somatropin medication that works as a growth hormone replacement. It is used mostly for those with chronic illnesses that inhibit growth but can be used for adult hormone replacement as well.

Those who have eye problems caused by diabetes, cancer, or are being treated for Prader-Willi syndrome shouldn't use this medication. Also, those who have a serious lung illness, complications from a recent injury or surgery, or those who are overweight are advised not to use this drug.

You should tell your doctor of all your previous health conditions when you have your first consultation so your doctor can find the right HGH drug for you. This is how you avoid unnecessary risks and complications.
