But most of us hope that as we age, we can maintain the highest quality of life possible. That we can keep as much of the energy, strength, and appearance we enjoy in youth. At the same time, most of us hope to be spared the physical, metabolic, and biochemical impairments that comes with age and chronic degenerative diseases. Hormones are key players in our ability to feel and look young as well as prevent the degenerative diseases of aging.
As we age, hormone levels change. Typically, the hormones we like at high levels are the collagen, sexual, fat burning and energy producing hormones that will fall below 85% at age 21. And the hormones we like at low levels are the fat storing and energy depleting hormones tend to rise after the age of 21. With these hormonal changes, we look and feel older. Hormones often fall into a deficiency range, below the levels and are associated with aging the body internally ex. bones, heart, liver, spleen, intestines, kidneys and brain. This is when intervention with hormone optimization (through diet, the right amount and kind of exercise, sleep, lifestyle modifications, and hormone supplementation) can be extremely beneficial.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is one of these hormones. Unfortunately, it isn’t available to everyone who needs it, largely due to its price tag.
However, Bienestar Centers of Puerto Rico has other procedural rejuvenation treatments at cutting edge natural painless inyectables and without side effects approved by the FDA.
Let’s talk about HCG…
What is HGH and
What does it do?
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a hormone that is secreted by a small gland at the base of the brain called the pituitary. It works on several different body tissues to promote healthy metabolism. HGH is an essential hormone in childhood to ensure proper growth and development; without HGH, you’d be a dwarf. HGH levels start to decline gradually from about age 21 onward. It is widely believed that many of the changes associated with aging are due largely to this decline in HGH.
What are the symptoms of HGH Deficiency?
- Increased body fat, especially around the waist
- Sleep disturbances and insomnia
- Anxiety and depression
- High LDL “bad” cholesterol & high triglycerides
- Decreased sexual function and loss of interest, and loss of erection
- Fatigue, low energy, vulnerable to common illnesses
- Greater sensitivity to heat and cold
- Decreased muscle mass (lean body mass)
- Less strength, stamina and ability to exercise without taking a rest
- Loss of bone density and muscle mass
- Loss of hair, and baldness
- Poor concentration and memory
- Predisposition to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, liver disease, osteoporosis, cancer, auto immune diseases among others.
Why is Human Growth Hormone so sought after?

Benefits of HGH
- Improved energy levels
- Decreased body fat
- Increased lean body mass
- Enhanced skin thickness, decrease wrinkles and increases elasticity
- Increased collagen production
- Improved sleep
- Improved healing time and reduced infection rates after surgery
- Increased bone mineral density
- Improved cholesterol profile
- Improved exercise, sexual function, erections in men and multiple orgasms in women
- Decreased recovery time between workouts
- Improved mood and overall well-being
So why aren't we all taking it?
The biggest barrier to pharmaceutical HGH use is cost and the strict federal regulations and FDA. HGH is very expensive and therefore typically available only to people who can afford it. Too much can be as dangerous as too little, so it’s important to be monitored by an experienced medical doctor M.D.
There are lots of products on the market that claim to raise HGH levels: pills, creams, sprays and powders. These were designed to take advantage of the fact that most people can’t afford pharmaceutical-grade injectable HGH. But buyer beware! The above list of benefits of HGH were observed in many clinical research studies using pharmaceutical, injectable HGH. None of these benefits have been objectively measured with the use of pills, creams, sprays or powders sold OTC in natural stores and pharmacies.
