Every man wants to be the best he can be at any age. As you age, your levels of human growth hormone, or HGH decrease. By the time you are over 35, most men can be significantly deficient in HGH.
HGH deficiency can result in loss of strength and vitality, increased fat, and loss of muscle tone and bone density.
Low levels of growth hormone can even cause sexual wellness issues such as low sex drive and erectile dysfunction.
Growth hormone therapy can stop, and in many cases, even reverse these problems.
HGH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. HGH stimulates growth in children and teens, and helps to maintain muscle mass and bone strength throughout life. Despite the fact that adults need growth hormone, the older you get, your HGH levels get lower and lower. Growth Hormone Levels begin to drop substantially as you reach middle age. If you are over 30 and are feeling tired, fatigued, or are experiencing sexual wellness issues, you may have a growth hormone deficiency, or GHD.
HGH helps children grow, but even adult men still need HGH.
In children or young adults, a growth hormone deficiency is usually caused by any disease or condition that impacts the pituitary gland. In adult men who have a GHD, the cause is almost always simply the natural depletion of HGH that occurs as you age.
In addition to fatigue, increased belly fat, bone loss, muscle weakness and sexual health issues, other signs of GHD in adults include:
The only way to determine for sure if you have GHD is to have the HGH levels in you blood tested.

| 51–60 | 87–225 |
| 61–70 | 75–228 |
| 71–80 | 31–187 |
| 81–88 | 68–157 |
