To understand what Sermorelin is and how Growth hormone therapy affects the body, you must first understand what HGH or Human Growth Hormone is. HGH is an endocrine hormone, like estrogen or progesterone, responsible for making people grow. It comes from the pituitary gland and contains 191 amino acids that allow the body to grow in a precise sequence.
Growth hormone replacement treatment is the synthetic version of the Human Growth Hormone. GHRH, or growth hormone releasing hormone, is produced in the brain and gives a signal to the pituitary gland to release the growth hormone. In some people GHRH stops working or malfunctions and does not release the signal as it should. A malfunctioning GHRH can cause an adult to start to age prematurely. Injections of Sermorelin will help them to keep a more youthful look longer.
Human Growth Hormone is often given to children who have a deficiency and cannot seem to grow normally. Recently the FDA allowed Sermorelin to be given to people who are experiencing the aging process prematurely. It also is given to those that have HIV as it alleviates some of the symptoms of that disease.
Sermorelin is given to patients by injections at bedtime once per day. Normally the Human Growth Hormone is released from the pituitary gland at night so the injections can cause better sleep as well. It depends on whether one is male or female and how severe the problem is as to how much the patient will take.
The benefits of taking HGH include fewer wrinkles and more elasticity to the skin and more energy. Those with decreased bone strength will find an improvement as well. Other benefits include more muscle mass and improved strength, a reduction in fat tissue, better sex drive, and the ability to have sex.
Memory and kidney function is often improved during Sermorelin therapy. Anyone who has had high blood pressure in the past can expect to find blood pressure at a more accepted level. The immune system is often enhanced and balding patients can expect to grow some hair back.
Unfortunately, there are several side effects that come along with the therapy as well, but they may not occur to all people. Pain and swelling at the injection site is frequent. Effects that will require a doctor’s attention are severe itching and problems with swallowing. These can indicate an allergy. Other effects that need to be reported to the doctor are headache, vomiting, hyperactivity and dizziness, but these are very rare.
Anyone who is interested in Sermorelin therapy should be in consultation with a doctor. There are many doctors who are allowed to do the therapy all over the country and there are also some clinics that will be able to provide therapy for those with Adult Onset Hormone Deficiency. Patients are watched carefully through testing and results from a lab to make sure the therapy is proceeding normally. This therapy requires a prescription and can cost a patient two to three thousand dollars.
Human growth hormone treatment is a good way to help those who have a human growth hormone deficiency and look much older than people their age.
