It Is Possible - Comfortable Traveling for People With HGHD

Patients who receive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with human growth hormone (HGH or GH) must take their injection equipment with them when they travel.

Traveling with all the necessary tools to self-administer growth hormone can represent a huge burden for patients - in fact, the inconvenience of travel for GH replacement therapy patients is one of the most often-cited reasons for not adhering to their therapy protocol.

Enter GH injection pens to the rescue. Injections are compact and highly portable options for replacement therapy patients on the go. They offer an attractive alternative for adult patients with HGH deficiencies who don't like needles. Best of all, they are easy to use.

Why HGH deficiency can be dangerous even in adulthood?

HGH is an important component of the human endocrine system, an intertwining collection of the various hormones in the human body that work synergistically to perform important signaling work across various organs like the brain, heart, lungs, and others.
Without a properly functioning endocrine system, health suffers. Of all the hormone deficiencies known to science, GH deficiencies are some of the most common.
Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland situated in the brain. The pituitary excretes GH in "pulses" throughout the day and night, with the most frequent and heavy GH releases occurring during sleep.
In adequate circulating quantities, GH performs the following critical functions:

• Bone and muscle strengthening.
• Sleep-wake cycle regulation.
• Possibly cardiovascular maintenance.
• Mood regulation.

The symptoms of a growth hormone deficiency, which can range from moderate to potentially life-threatening, include:

• Muscle loss.
• Bone loss and weakening (osteoporosis).
• Fatigue.
• Anxiety

Fortunately, modern medicine has enabled millions of adults with diagnosed GH deficiencies to recover their health through replacement therapy.

At what age people can suffer from GH deficiency?

Growth hormone deficiencies are most commonly associated with children. The reality, though, is that hormonal deficiencies can develop at any point throughout life. Even otherwise healthy adults who have never previously experienced growth hormone deficiencies can find themselves suffering from the negative effects of GH deficits mentioned above.
There are several known causes of growth hormone deficiencies. They include:

• Congenital deficiencies. In these cases, the disorder is caused by a genetic issue that is present at birth.
• Head injury.
• Poor circulation.
• Dysfunctional hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

If you believe that you may have a GH deficiency based on the symptoms above, the first step to recovering your health involves a visit to professional hormone replacement provider such as HGH Therapy Clinic of Miami. Our doctors will perform the necessary bloodwork to make a diagnosis.

If the test results show that you indeed have inadequate circulating levels of GH, then we move onto developing your individualized therapy protocol. One important decision that you will make is the type of injection method that you will use. Outpatients must make self-administer their GH at home (usually on a daily basis), so finding a delivery method that you are comfortable with is essential for therapeutic success.

Why are HGH injection pens the most comfortable devices for traveling?

Because orally-administered growth hormone formulations break down in the stomach, the only option for effective therapy is to introduce the hormone directly into the blood where it can travel throughout the body, Replacement therapy patients generally have two options for this type of administration method:

• Vial and syringe. As the more traditional route of GH delivery, the vial and syringe method has become largely outdated. As we move forward, we will likely see this method increasingly replaced by injection pens and other new technologies. The major disadvantages of the vial and syringe option are that it requires toting multiple parts that take up substantial room (not good for traveling) and that it can cause significant losses of expensive growth hormone during preparation for inexperienced patients.
• GH Injection pens. compared to the vial and syringe, injection pens are super easy to use, highly portable, and -- most importantly for therapy patients on a budget - they can reduce waste by as much as 22%.

Traveling and taking HGH injections with pens - What are the Benefits?

If you are a frequent traveler, then you understand the importance of packing light and accessing needed equipment from your luggage easily. HGH pens satisfy both criteria. First, injection pens are very small and lightweight, typically not weighing more than a few ounces. You may find a review of the US market and comparison of available HGH pens at hghtherapydoc.com.

In terms of easy access, all of the component parts - the needle, the GH chamber, the mixing solution - are contained within the pen, so there's no need to rummage through your bag to find all the pieces you need to perform your daily injections.
Lastly, as we mentioned above, GH pens save money by eliminating waste. In fact, over the months-long course of the average therapy, the savings offered by injection pens can add up to thousands of dollars.

How can I get a GH pen?

The web is full of great resources for sourcing high-quality injection pens. Respected US manufacturers like Pfizer and Merck sell their respective pens on their sites.
Always remember to look for pens produced by American pharmaceutical firms. Other nations often do not have the same level of oversight in terms of quality control as the FDA practices in the US, so the only way to assure that you are getting the highest-quality product possible is to buy American.
