Why Is HGH Testing Required For Hormone Replacement Therapy?

HGH testing is required for every single patient who wishes to be considered for a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) program with HT Medical Center. Human growth hormone (HGH) therapy, also called HRT is only legal if it is prescribed by a licensed doctor to a patient that has low growth hormone (GH) levels. This is why an HGH test is required for all people who want to participate in HRT.

What is HGH testing?

This kind of testing involves a blood sampling that checks one’s insulin like growth factor – 1 level in the blood stream. It will tell a doctor what a patient’s GH levels are like and show the physician if levels are too low and how low they are. This is how the expert can decide which medication he or she will prescribe and at exactly what dosage.

A patient must be tested and diagnosed with low growth hormone levels in order for hormone replacement therapy to be safe and legal. There are no exceptions.

With the HGH blood test, a patient is also required to get a face to face physical exam and to share their medical history. This information will be given to our doctors as well. It will tell whether or not a person is otherwise healthy and a good fit for HRT.

Human growth hormone is a powerful substance that should only be taken under a physician’s care, with a prescription and medical supervision. This is the safest way to work with these medications. In addition, it is the only legal way to participate in HRT.

The chosen clinic can only work with those over 30 and who are not professional athletes. Patients must be tested and must be diagnosed to have low GH or therapy is not legal or safe.
