IGF-1 Human Growth Hormone Level Lab Test Information
Test 010363
Human Growth Hormone
This test is used to determine the level of growth hormone in your body. As a person ages the level of HGH decreases. The decrease in your body’s ability to respond can be in many ways directly attributed to a condition sometimes referred to as “HGH deficiency”. After puberty, GH levels begin to decrease because they are no longer needed for normal growth, but unfortunately as GH levels decrease they also affect many of the bodies other vital functions.
Deteriorating GH levels can be correlated to many different conditions from diminished energy levels, to unwanted weight gain, and decreased muscle mass. By taking growth hormone you can increase the bodies level of IGF-1. The increased IGF-1 levels in the blood are what help to mediate the effects that are attributed to GH deficiency. People with deficient GH levels who have started using Saizen (a synthetic version of HGH) have noticed many of the following benefits.
Younger looking and thicker feeling skin Improved physical recovery time
Stronger bones Improved Kidney functions
A gain in muscle mass Lower blood pressure
A loss of body fat Fewer wrinkles
A stronger immune system Sharper vision
Higher energy levels Improved memory retention
Lower cholesterol Increased cardiac output
Obviously not every patient will experience all of these benefits, but Saizen has the ability to provide a lot to people who are becoming GH deficient. To determine if you are becoming GH deficient an IGF-1 test needs to be taken and lab work performed. You need to have an accurate ongoing measurement of your IFG=1 levels to maintain an optimum regimen of HGH replacement therapy.
