Sermorelin

It is necessary to understand what the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is before learning about Growth hormone treatment. The Human Growth Hormone is similar to progesterone and estrogen in the fact that it helps humans grow. The pituitary gland releases Human Growth Hormone and its 191 amino acids that help the body mature and grow in the correct sequence.

Growth hormone therapy 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.

Injections of Sermorelin are given once a day, usually at bedtime. Most often this will enhance sleep since when the hormones work normally they are released while at sleep. Gender and severity of the aging process are factors in determining the dose a person will take.

The benefits of taking hormone replacements 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.

Kidney function is improved along with memory. High blood pressure problems can be a thing of the past. Immune systems are often made better and if balding is a problem it may not be for much longer.

Along with the benefits are several side effects that may or may not occur. The most common side effects are pain or swelling where the injection was given. More severe effects are itching and issues in swallowing; should these occur a doctor should be called immediately. Other side effects that should be reported to a doctor, but that tend to be rare, are dizziness, headache, hyperactivity, and vomiting.

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.

Growth hormone therapy is a good way to help those who have a growth hormone deficiency and look much older than people their age. It helps to keep that young appearance, but also helps to keep a youthful mind.
