What to Expect from BHRT

Restoring and balancing levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone often resolves most symptoms of hormonal imbalance, including:

 

  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Mental fogginess
  • Breast tenderness
  • Bloating
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Low libido

In addition, supplementation with human growth hormone can provide the following benefits:

 

  • Decreased fat mass, 10 to 14 percent after approximately 6 months, predominantly around the waist, without change in diet and exercise
  • Increased lean muscle mass of approximately 7 to 10 percent in the first six months of therapy
  • Improved bone density after one year of therapy, depending on pre-treatment density
  • Improved cardiac and lung function, lowered diastolic blood pressure
  • Increased physical and mental energy level  
  • Increased hydration of the skin
  • Accelerated wound healing
  • Increased immune system functioning, including re-growth of the thymus (the gland important in the function of T-cells)
  • Decreased total and LDL cholesterol levels, and increased HDL levels
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved vision
  • Improved mood

Individual results will vary based on a number of factors.  Patients with very low hormone levels tend to see more dramatic results then those with higher levels.
