Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Defined
When a body grows older sometime after 30, growth hormones (GH) start to deplete. The only way to safely and effectively replace them so that the body has enough to function optimally is through using doctor prescribed bio-identical injections. This is called bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy? By using 100 percent real and pure prescribed injections, BHRT medications work with the body from the inside out. It gets to root of the issue that causes symptoms. What is that root? It is low human growth hormones. Blood testing will determine this. Injections given at just the right dosage can restore what is missing in the system and a person can feel great, strong and healthy again.
In addition, any patient who is participating in this kind of therapy will receive full medical supervision from their prescribing physician. Only licensed doctors can legally diagnose low GH levels, prescribe the correct medications and dosages and medically supervise therapy.
This kind of treatment is extremely popular with those who understand more innovative medicine and how helpful it can be when it is doctor prescribed. It is considered to be more natural than any other kind of medicine.
The medications that Kingsberg Medical used for BHRT are:
- Omnitrope from Sandoz
- Saizen from Merck Serono
- Genotropin from Pfizer
- Humatrope from Eli Lilly
- Norditropin from Novo Nordisk
These are all considered to be 100 percent pure and bio-identical (which is an identical replica) to what the body already produces. They are manufactured in very controlled laboratories as they are very sensitive to light and movement especially.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy For Men And Women
Both males and females lose their growth hormones as they age. This is why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is for anyone over 30 who meets the qualifications of this kind of treatment. If a patient’s blood work comes back showing that their GH is low and they are considered to be an otherwise healthy adult, they can reap in the benefits of BHRT.

- What medications are being used
- What dosage of injections are needed
- How long will a person be using the medications
First consultations with our clinical advisors are always free of charge. We want to educate clients as to what BHRT is and how it works. The price for HGH therapy will always include everything without any hidden costs. Advisors will always be up front with patients with everything that has to do with this kind of treatment. Call Kingsberg Medical to find out how much BHRT will cost for your individualized treatment plan.
