Growth hormone is an important hormone and is necessary for good health. The levels of growth hormone decline gradually with age- supplementation with growth hormone injections and growth hormone releasing hormone may be beneficial in many of us, but inappropriate use may be harmful. The diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency and treatment with growth hormone cannot be made on the basis of a simple blood test for growth hormone or IGF-1. Instead, the diagnosis and measurement of the effectiveness of treatment requires special tests. These tests are available at Longevity Healthy Aging® Research Group (LHA®).
