Growth hormone, often known as HGH, is essential for women’s health and vitality. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy metabolism, body composition and energy levels.
Benefits
Supports Healthy Metabolism and Fat Management
HGH supports growth in children, but even after you stop growing, your body still needs human growth hormone. In your adult years, this hormone maintains your metabolism, a series of chemical reactions that convert the food you eat into energy. This is essential to your body’s functioning because every cell needs proper energy.
Human growth hormones stimulate the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 or IGF-1 to increase the effect of this substance on the body’s cells. When you have a human growth hormone deficiency in adulthood, it results in increased body fat. The most likely place where the body accumulates fat at this time is in the belly.
Enhances Skin Health and Youthfulness
The scientific evidence that human growth hormone promotes skin health and youthfulness tells us this is true. One of the latest studies demonstrates that human growth hormone, younger-looking skin and a reduction in wrinkles are correlated. The research supports the belief that human growth hormone is also responsible for tightening sagging skin, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass and strengthening bones.
Strengthens Muscles and Bones
HGH supplementation has been found to benefit adults with a human growth hormone deficiency. For example, it increases muscle mass and causes your muscles to grow. Your strength increases when this occurs.
Human growth hormone is also known to strengthen your bones. This means that they are increasingly resistant to trauma that can break them. The bones are made from tissue that is constantly breaking down. After old bone breaks down, the body replaces it with new bone. If your body breaks down more old bone than it replaces, bone density decreases, making you susceptible to fractures and breaks. HGH supplementation causes the body to replace more bone that is broken down and strengthened.
The loss of bone density weakens the bones and leads to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is known as a “silent disease” because you will not necessarily know that you have it when it is progressing. There aren’t any symptoms until you break a bone, but osteoporosis is the main cause of fractures in postmenopausal women.
Boosts Mood and Clarity
During perimenopause and menopause, many women begin to experience mood swings and a lack of mental clarity. That is because, during this time, your hormonal levels decrease. As this occurs, they have less effect on your serotonin levels. Serotonin is the brain chemical that is known to promote a sense of well-being and happiness. However, serotonin levels drop when your hormones also drop, and you begin to experience more sadness, anxiety and irritability.
Menopause has other mental effects, such as difficulties with decision-making, concentration and memory issues. This condition generally goes by the name of “brain fog.” HGH supplementation positively affects cognitive functioning, including mental clarity, focus and memory. It may also have a positive effect on your mood swings.
Supports Immune Function
Human growth hormones also play a role in the production and activity of the body’s immune cells. It increases the functioning of the immune system so that the body can defend itself against the onslaught of illnesses and diseases. As we age, the immune system loses its ability to fight viruses and illnesses, so you are more likely to contract illnesses later. Supplementing human growth hormone strengthens the immune system’s ability to function when you need it.
Symptoms of Low HGH in Women
If these symptoms sound familiar, discussing them with your healthcare provider may be worth your while. For those diagnosed with HGH deficiency, HGH injections are an option that some women consider to help restore their levels safely under medical supervision.
Increased Body Fat
When human growth hormone levels are low, women experience an increase in fat tissue, especially in the belly area. Women also experience a decrease in their lean body mass. Lean body mass is the total weight of your body subtracted by the amount that your body weighs.
This measurement is important to women because it determines how much energy your body uses. If you are trying to lose weight, you do not want your lean body mass to decrease because, if you lose lean body mass along with fat, you are also losing muscle mass and bone mass.
Decreased Muscle Tone
Decreased muscle tone leads to the inability to exercise as long as you can in your younger years.
Fatigue and Low Energy
Women with low levels of human growth hormone also complain of fatigue and low energy. This is especially the case if she is postmenopausal.
Mood Swings and Anxiety
Many women experience mood swings and anxiety with a diagnosis of low human growth hormone levels. Also, at this time, they feel as if they are isolated from friends and family, and their relationships may be strained.
Dry, Thin Skin
As human growth hormones decrease in middle age, women notice their skin becoming dry and thin.
