Growth Hormone
What is Growth Hormone?
Located at the base of the brain, the pituitary gland releases growth hormone, which is responsible for growth and physical and sexual development. When growth hormone is released, the liver also releases IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). Growth hormone and IGF-1 work together to signal the muscles and bones for growth, increasing muscle mass, contributing to weight loss, and increasing endurance. A deficiency of growth hormone can appear as HGH levels start to decline after the age of 30.

Options For Enhancing HGH
HGH PRESCRIPTION
Federally mandated test required
HGH prescriptions are highly regulated by the DEA and tend to cost between $500 and $1000 per month, depending on the brand and pharmacy that you utilize. Since prescribing exogenous HGH for aging or development without a diagnosis of adult growth hormone deficiency is not legal, we offer an HGH provocation test to legally prescribe HGH when there is an age-related deficiency. The test is a two-part test, consisting of a VO2MAX test to gauge the patient’s fitness level, along with a bike ride and blood draw to gauge the patients increase or lack of increase in growth hormone as they exercise. This two-part test is required to ethically and legally prescribe HGH.
HGH is a Class 3 controlled substance and is prescribed only for Adults diagnosed with Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a secretagogue that tells your pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone. Technically speaking, Sermorelin is growth hormone releasing factor 1–29 NH2-acetate, which is a peptide with the first 29 amino acids of growth hormone. While this medication requires a prescription, it is not a controlled substance and does not require a federally mandated test. Sermorelin stimulates your bodies’ own production of HGH.
CJC 1295 + IPAMORELIN
CJC 1295 is a peptide that stimulates growth hormone by binding to the pituitary and mimicking exogenous growth hormones. Clinical results may include fat loss, increases in muscle mass, improved sleep, improved lipid profiles, and better recovery after workouts.
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin (“hunger” hormone) receptor agonist. This secretagogue has less hunger stimulating properties, along with releasing less cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin, and aldosterone, which makes it one of the best secretagogues to improve growth hormone levels.
When used together, CJC 1295 + Ipamorelin have been shown to increase growth hormone secretion from the pituitary gland, increase IGF-1 levels, promote deep sleep, and may have better secretion than sermorelin while maintaining a similar price.
Arginine Citrulline + Exercise
L-Arginine plays a role in muscle metabolism and is a precursor for nitric oxide, which helps increase circulation by relaxing blood vessels. L-Citrulline helps the body detox ammonia, a by-product of exercise. Getting rid of excess ammonia enables the body to recover after exercise and workouts.
Recent studies show that resting growth hormone levels increase with L-arginine supplementation. Most studies using oral arginine have shown that arginine alone increases the resting growth hormone levels at least 100% while exercise can increase growth hormone levels by 300–500%. Exercise is a very potent stimulator of growth hormone release and there is considerable research documenting the dramatic growth hormone rise. The combination of arginine, citrulline, and exercise increases growth hormone.
We have a personal trainer that we highly recommend. He is knowledgable and tough enough on our patients to help them see results from their workout sessions. If you would like to add personal training to one of our Dv360 memberships, please let us know. Gavin Jordan will come to your home to make personal training more convenient for you, and he also offers sessions at his very impressive home gym.
What is HGH Treatment?
The human body makes HGH naturally; it is inherently safe and can provide many benefits, including increased exercise capacity, improved bone density, muscle mass, and decreased body fat. There have also been many anecdotal reports of faster recovery from injury through the ethical use of HGH.
As we age, levels of HGH and IGF-1 begin to fall creating a deficiency characterized by decreased muscle mass, increase body fat, impaired quality of life, unfavorable alterations in your lipid profile, increased cardiovascular risk, decreased bone mass, and increased mortality, along with decreased exercise capacity, and decreased bone density. This progression can be ameliorated with therapies, which safely boost IGF-1 levels.
Federally Regulated
The U.S. Congress, prompted by prominent athletic performances of noted athletes such as Roger Clemens, Tiger Woods, and others in various professional sports, passed an amendment prohibiting the prescription of HGH Treatment for any patient for “anti-aging” or “athletic purposes.” That said, the deficiency of HGH in adults who are not professional sports stars continues to occur.
Is it Safe?
At Dallas Vitality 360, one element of our comprehensive health evaluation is a complete analysis of hormone levels, including thyroid, sex hormones, and IGF-1. IGF-1 is a protein marker indicating growth hormone (HGH) activity. If ethically indicated, your treatment will include strategies to replenish and restore all of your hormones to youthful levels, including HgH.*
*The ethical administration of HGH requires a Federally mandated test to determine candidacy for this medication.
