For maximum efficacy, HGH therapy requires an accurate diagnosis, comprehensive testing, and ongoing monitoring.
At The Hormone Zone, we conduct detailed, in-depth testing prior to recommending any HGH or other hormone replacement therapy. We go above and beyond the standard in testing protocols to gather as much information about your current health status as possible, and at a cellular level. Our state-of-the-art in-house testing includes:
InBody, the most advanced scale available for measuring body composition
RMR, or Resting Metabolic Rate, analysis to determine thyroid health and weight loss goals
Thyroflex, a unique computer measurement of your metabolic rate and related thyroid function
Zinc and nitric oxide salivary testing, to determine two of the most important nutrients for your hormones and sexual health
Advanced Blood Analysis measuring dozens of health biomarkers and hormones.
For HGH therapy specifically, our testing focuses on IGF-1 levels instead of looking at HGH levels or age in isolation. An endocrine hormone produced by the liver that, along with HGH, promotes normal bone and tissue growth and development, IGF-1 mirrors the levels of HGH in the blood. However, while HGH is only produced at night and its levels can fluctuate throughout the day, IGF-1 levels are consistent throughout the day, making it a more accurate indication of HGH excesses and deficiencies.
