What to Expect When Getting Started with HGH Peptide Replacement Therapy

If you’re on the hunt for better sleep, a better sex drive, and leaner muscle mass, you might consider human growth hormone (HGH) peptide replacement therapy.

HGH peptide replacement therapy uses peptides to stimulate your natural growth hormone production so you can benefit from improved energy, leaner muscle mass, and improved concentration.

But what happens during this process?  If you’re considering starting HGH replacement peptide therapy, you may have questions about the process, how it works, and what to expect.

What is HGH peptide replacement therapy?

HGH helps to regulate growth, muscle repair, and energy levels. It also helps with your metabolism. Specifically, it upregulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1.  This process boosts protein building in your body while reducing protein breakdown, which leads to improved muscle growth. 

Unfortunately, HGH secretion declines by about 15% for every decade of adult life. 

HGH peptide replacement therapy uses peptides to stimulate the production of human growth hormone naturally in your body. These peptides send messages to your pituitary gland to produce more HGH.

The bottom line: HGH does a lot to help you feel young, and HGH peptide replacement therapy can help boost your energy, burn fat, and feel full of vitality — all without the fountain of youth.

Getting started with HGH peptide replacement therapy

Getting started with HGH peptide replacement therapy is as easy as one, two, three, four! 

Step one: schedule your virtual consultation with our team

Because we accept telehealth, our team can get you started no matter where you live.

During your consultation, plan on discussing your medical history, symptoms, and health goals. You also need blood work to determine your hormone levels, including your current HGH levels.

Step two: schedule your lab work and get your labs drawn 

Your blood work can measure different hormone levels, including HGH and testosterone, which is essential because it informs our medical team if your hormones are unbalanced and what treatment might work best for you.

Note: You may need to stop taking certain medications, such as oral steroids, before your lab work. We let you know if that’s the case for you.

Step three: review your blood work together

Once your blood work is complete, you sit back and relax while the labs process it. When our team receives your complete lab results, we meet again to review them together.  Most results are returned promptly.

Step four: get started with HGH peptide replacement therapy

Once your blood work results are analyzed,  your Performance Rejuvenation Center provider determines if HGH peptide replacement therapy is right for you. If it is, they create a personalized treatment plan based on your age, hormone levels, and performance goals.

HGH peptide replacement therapy typically gets administered through injections. Depending on your prescribed protocol, we may administer these daily or several times weekly.

What to expect from your HGH peptide replacement therapy

After starting HGH peptide therapy, it’s essential to be patient as your body ramps up HGH production. You may not see immediate changes, and that’s okay! 

During the initial weeks, you might notice improved sleep quality, increased energy levels, and better recovery from workouts. Some people also experience better mood and mental clarity.

Over the next few months,  you start seeing more visible changes. These include improved muscle tone, reduced body fat, and increased lean muscle mass. HGH therapy can also improve skin elasticity. 

HGH peptide therapy can be a long-term treatment, depending on your individual health goals. Some people may choose to stay on therapy for several years to maintain optimal HGH levels, while others may only need it for a short period. Our team can help you determine the appropriate duration.
