In older population hypothyroidism is one of most overlooked conditions.

HGH and its Effects on Thyroid Gland

Dr. Ronald Klatz states "Human growth hormone exerts its actions either directly or indirectly through its intermediary insulin growth factors to every organ system of body, ........almost nothing escapes its magical touch."

Jens Sandahl Christiansen of Aarthus Kommunehospital of Denmark stated in a report "untreated HGH deficient adults have been shown to have increased cardiovascular mortality, reduced exercise capacity, reduced muscle strength, subnormal glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow, defective sweat secretion and defective thermoregulation, reduced energy expenditure and basal metabolic rate, abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism, reduced myocardial function and clinical signs of premature atherosclerosis. Body composition has been found abnormal with increased fat mass, decreased lean body mass, decreased muscle fat ratio, visceral obesity, reduced extracellular fluid volume, and reduced bone mineral content

Improving body's release of and use of HGH is known to help to improve function of other organs in body and help to stabilize other hormones in body, this includes thyroid gland and thyroid hormone. Many patients who undergo successful HGH therapy see improvements in their hypothyroidism condition. This includes a decrease in their need for thyroid medications.

Patients with hypothyroidism should consult their private doctor before beginning any HGH therapy.

Anyone with hypothyroidism should see improvements with HGH therapy, however their doctor will need to monitor their thyroid levels to determine their need for continued thyroid medication as HGH therapy improves their thyroid gland's function.

When a patient with hypothyroidism begins taking one of my HGH products I always tell them to pay close attention to their body. They should have their thyroid levels checked before beginning therapy with my product, and they should continue to monitor their thyroid levels as therapy progresses. The reason for this is because product should improve function of thyroid gland, and as function of thyroid gland improves, its release of thyroid hormone should also improve and so need for thyroid medication should decrease. The thyroid levels should be checked after first 3-4 weeks of therapy with my product, even sooner if patient notices any significant changes. The patient's private physician will decide if and when thyroid medication should be decreased or stopped.
