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.
