The Importance of Growth Hormone to Optimal Living

Marshall Lifestyle Medicine • March 6, 2024

As we age, the amount of growth hormone secreted by our pituitary gland naturally declines. Men and women begin experiencing declines in growth hormone production by age 30. By age 50, blood levels of growth hormone are one-third to one-half lower than they are in people ages 18 to 35. This drop also coincides with the reduced muscle mass (sarcopenia) and increased body fat that happens with aging.

In fact, many of the objective signs of symptoms of aging can be attributed to hormonal decline, in particular growth hormone decline. Many men and women are increasing their natural growth hormone production through peptide therapy.

The Benefits of Treating Age-Related Growth Hormone Deficiency (ARGHD) include

  • Increasing insulin sensitivity
  • Decreasing visceral fat
  • Increased Bone Density and reduction in the risk for osteoporosis
  • Increasing skeletal muscle mass
  • Increased Athletic Performance
  • Increased energy and sense of well-being
  • Improvement in mental fog
  • Increasing skin thickness and elasticity and health and works as an adjunct to any cosmetic procedure – Filler, Sculptra, Laser, RF
  • Cellular repair, regeneration, and accelerated growth
  • Slowing, suspending, or reversing the effects of aging.
  •  Increase in subjective and objective indicators of life quality.

Did you know Marshall has Sermorelin Extreme - the only FDA approved growth hormone releasing peptide? In other words, it's the fountain of youth hormone.

Slow, suspend, or reverse the signs of aging!

Individuals who can benefit from sermorelin are those whose growth hormone levels are starting to decline. A natural decrease in growth hormone production begins before age 30. It is a gradual process, amounting to only about 10% every ten years. While the body is designed to adjust to this decrease, that is not always the case. Premature or early aging, insomnia, weight gain, low libido, frequent illness, and impaired brain functions are only a few of the many signs of GH decline.

Here are some of the most anticipated sermorelin results:

  • Weight Loss: Sermorelin improves metabolism which aids in fat loss and increased energy
  • Muscle Growth: Along with the loss of fat, sermorelin also increases muscle mass and exercise recovery – body composition and tone improve significantly
  • Hair Growth: Sermorelin helps with hair growth by increasing cell reproduction which strengthens and thickens the individual hair shafts
  • Anti-Aging: Although sermorelin cannot stop aging, many people feel that it helps them look better and younger by firming and tightening the skin through the increase of collagen and elastin
  • Bone Density: Again, through cell regeneration, sermorelin helps to increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures
  • Heart Health: Growth hormone plays a significant role in keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check, factors that can decrease heart health
  • Brain Functions: The increase in growth hormone helps support learning, focus, memory storage and recall, and other critical brain functions
