The age profile of adult-onset HGH sufferers varies, but it is most common in people between the ages of 40 and 60.

However, the condition can occur at any age, and it is more common in men than women.

Several factors can contribute to adult-onset HGH deficiency, including:

  • Aging: The body's production of HGH naturally declines with age, but some people experience an abnormally severe decline.
  • Certain medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, can lead to HGH deficiency.
  • Head injuries: Head injuries can damage the pituitary gland, which is responsible for producing HGH.
  • Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy to the brain or neck can damage the pituitary gland, leading to an HGH deficiency.
  • Surgery: Surgery to the brain or neck can damage the pituitary gland also.
  • And some cases of adult-onset HGH deficiency have no known cause.

The good news is that there is definitely something you can do about it!

You say a test can determine whether I have an HGH deficiency. What do I have to do to take this test? Is it painful? Is the test expensive? Lead me step-by-step through the test procedure.

A few different tests can be used to diagnose HGH deficiency. The most common test is a blood test. A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm and sent to a lab for analysis. The lab will measure the level of HGH in your blood.

Another test that can be used to diagnose HGH deficiency is a growth hormone stimulation test. This test is done by injecting a substance that stimulates the release of HGH. The blood is then drawn several times to measure the levels of HGH.

The tests are not painful, but they may cause some discomfort. The blood test may cause a small bruise at the injection site. The growth hormone stimulation test may cause some sweating or, in rare cases, nausea.

The cost of the tests will vary depending on your insurance coverage. However, the tests are usually covered by most insurance plans, and even without insurance, the cost is negligible.

Here are the steps involved in taking a blood test to diagnose HGH deficiency:

  1. You will need to fast for at least 8 hours before the test.
  2. You will need to go to the test site, which we will provide to you.
  3. A nurse or phlebotomist will clean your arm with an antiseptic wipe.
  4. A needle will be inserted into a vein in your arm.
  5. A small amount of blood will be drawn into a vial.
  6. The needle will be removed, and the area will be covered with a bandage.
  7. We will send the blood to a top-rated US lab for analysis.

The results of the test will be available in a few days. If your HGH levels are low, your doctor may recommend a hormone replacement therapy program customized just for you based on your results and your medical history.
