Hormone Replacement Therapy > Weight Management and HGH

Weight Problems Reversed with HGH

Growth hormone induces decomposition of adipose tissue. The adipose cell volume will decrease significantly some studies have shown only insignificant amounts of fat loss of 5 to 10 lbs, other studies and case studies have shown loss of 25 to 30lbs in 3 months, with life style changes. In general HGH has been shown to cause the metabolism to increase which results in the degradation of fat. In addition, cholesterol is lowered.

Fat Burning and HGH

There is consistent improvement in this parameter with a usual 10% increase in lean body mass and a five to 10% decrease in body fat. Fat loss was greatest in the abdominal region. The alterations in body composition are reversed. The lean body mass increases as the adipose tissue decreases. This accounts for the fact that there may not always be an overall weight loss because of the increased muscle mass, as well as bone density. In addition, human growth hormone affects the regeneration of the liver, kidneys, spleen, skin and bone, and is protective against atrophy by causing re-growth of tissue.

Case Study

In one case study a 35 year old male with growth hormone deficiency lost 25 to 30lbs of fat around the mid section in 3 months incorporating life style changes using Human Growth Hormone 1IU a day, 5 days a week on and 2 days off.
