Testosterone Replacement Therapy and HGH Therapy in Austin

Is HGH Therapy Safe?

Over the last several decades, HGH has received a bad rap by some critics of the therapy. Globally, there’s been much speculation about the efficacy and safety of human growth hormone therapy for men.

While pundits of the therapy claim there may be tangible health risks, no conclusive studies have been proven to show that. Over the last 20 years, tens of thousands of people have used HGH therapy under the care of a responsible physician.

In fact, many of these patients have remained on HGH for years with no serious health effects. All the while, these patients experience health benefits that make their quality of life much better.

Sure, HGH can present risks if blood analyses present contraindications to treatment. There are also a number of people who purchase HGH on the black market and self-prescribe, not knowing if there are any contraindications and often taking super-human doses of HGH.

Other detractors of HGH therapy have speculated that continued use of human growth hormone can result in cancer. There is not a single study in existence that has ever conclusively linked HGH to directly causing cancer in a patient. So, all this is speculation.

We believe the misconception of linking of cancer with HGH comes from those who had cancer prior to starting an HGH therapy program. And, there is good reason for concern in such cases. You see, HGH heightens cell activity. If cancer was present before treatment began, it could potentially proliferate faster if supplemental HGH was provided.

Our HGH clinic in Austin, Texas knows this and screens for cancer before we ever begin HGH treatment. This is yet another important reason to only use a certified anti-aging clinic.

What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT Therapy)?

First, let’s clarify the definition of testosterone. Most people equate it with masculinity. And, while women also have testosterone, their levels are significantly less than those of their male counterparts. That said, Testosterone is indeed the prominent male sex hormone. It is specifically what makes a man a man.

When testosterone levels are normal, a man’s body is usually functioning at optimal levels. Erections are normal, sleep is restful, sperm production is at full capacity, body fat is low and lean muscle is present.

Other benefits of optimal testosterone levels include elevated sex drive, healthy bone density and a more positive mood. Testosterone is more or less what gives male his characteristic bravado attitude.

During puberty, men’s testosterone levels are at their peak. However, once we hit age 30, these declines begin to produce more significant side effects for the average man. With this decline comes unwanted side effects, such as hair loss, increased central belly fat (and sometimes increased breast tissue), decreased sex drive and function, diminished energy levels and decreased muscle tone.

We’ve looked at various studies on testosterone reduction in men. Most show that testosterone levels drop on average 1.6% per year after 30 years of age. The decline is gradual but adds up after time. Even a 10-15% decline in testosterone can make itself noticeably felt in most men.

Fortunately, a solution exists that can place men back on track to their normal levels of testosterone. This solution is of course testosterone replacement therapy. As far as modern medical science has come, this is the only way to restore lost testosterone in aging men.
