Human growth hormone injections will start to work at different times for different people. Not all patients will have the same experience, but generalizations can be made as to when changes in the mind and body will take place.
Below is a month by month guideline of approximately when human growth hormones will begin to work within a six month period of time:
During the first month of HGH treatment, a patient should start to feel more energized. This will change his or her whole personality and outlook on life. Lethargy will begin to diminish and the person will be willing and able to participate in more activities. Sleep will become easier and last for a longer amount of time.
Body metabolism quickens and weight loss begins. People will mostly notice the fat coming off of their abdominal sections. At the same time, muscles will become larger and more pronounced.
Skin elasticity becomes stronger. There is less appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. Hair grows in thicker and nails grow faster. Self-esteem usually increases due to looking more youthful. Energy and stamina continue to increase.
Memory, focus and concentration become noticeably more acute. Sexual drive starts to increase. Energy continues to improve.
There will be an ongoing increase in energy, stamina, endurance and drive. Emotions become more stable with less depression, anxiety, irritability and agitation. Appearance continues to become more youthful looking and weight loss becomes more noticeable.
By month six, most of the symptoms derived from a growth hormone deficiency should be diminished or eliminated. Fat loss is apparent and muscle tone is improved. LDL cholesterol levels have improved, organs have grown and mental capacity and emotions have become much more stabilized.
During the sixth month period from when a person first begins to take his or her prescribed human growth hormone injections he or she will feel continuously better each month. With continuing medical supervision, any side effects can be eliminated immediately and quality of life will continue improving.
