Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment

Growth hormone (GH) is not just for children -- it plays a critical role in adult metabolism, body composition, bone density, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) can result from pituitary disease, traumatic brain injury, or natural age-related decline. At Stonewood Health, we evaluate GH status through IGF-1 testing and stimulation tests when indicated, and offer treatment with FDA-approved recombinant human growth hormone (HGH) therapy or growth hormone-stimulating peptides (Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, CJC-1295) as alternatives with favorable safety profiles.

Questions

HGH (recombinant human growth hormone) directly replaces growth hormone and requires confirmed deficiency for FDA-approved use. Peptides like Sermorelin and Ipamorelin stimulate your pituitary to produce more of its own GH, offering a gentler approach with a favorable safety profile.
