Growth hormone (GH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism. As we age, GH production naturally declines, which can lead to growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

Low GH can greatly impact quality of life. Fortunately, GH replacement therapy is available to treat deficient levels.
If adult GHD is suspected, a medical workup is needed. Hormone Optimal Care clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating hormone deficiencies. We conduct thorough testing, including:
Based on results, our doctors create customized treatment plans using bioidentical GH. Significant improvements are often seen in energy, body composition, bone health, and well-being.
