The answer to our title question is generally “ no” for men on Bio-Identical Testosterone Pellets.  The reason men on T Pellets don’t usually need Growth Hormone stimulation is because pellet Testosterone stimulates the production of Growth Hormone, and I see IGF-1, the lab test for growth hormone, increase by 30-50 ng/ml every 6 months for the first 1-2 years a man begins testosterone pellets.  This fact offers a “Two-Fer”, or a Two-For-The Price of One when men take Testosterone in Pellet form.  

Growth Hormone’s role after men are finished growing, is to build muscle and burn fat as well as keep the production of  muscle and bone normal as it is in young men.  Growth Hormone begins to decrease parallel with the fall in testosterone.  GH begins its descent in men’s thirties and continues to fall until they die, unless a man has his testosterone replaced with pellets, or if he is treated with Growth Hormone replacement, or if he wants to avoid these treatments he can use several natural methods to increase growth hormone production.
