I hope so. It would suck if my pituitary has the ABILITY to make GH but it has just decided not to for some reason.Looks like A should not b a problem for you based on what you said earlier.
At least it will be doctor-prescribed and properly monitored, that's #1 for safety!
I read somewhere that low levels of body fat can cause adult-onset GH-deficiency. Apparently, your body thinks you're in a starvation state and down-regulates GH production.
I have pretty low body fat levels (~8%) just by nature of me being 20 y/o and still having a high metabolism from when I was a kid. I never thought that it was an issue since I still eat 2300-2500 calories per day. But maybe I'm in the "unhealthy territory" of body fat levels. I've never tried to diet/shred or anything so I never considered this to be a possibility.
With my IGF-1 labs, my leptin level was also tested and it was pretty low. These were the results:
My height is 5'11" and my weight is 159 lbs so BMI is 22.2. But I'm mostly muscle and very little fat so although the BMI is in the healthy range, less of it is fat than with the avg person. So I can see my body thinking that I'm in a starvation state I guess.
Any thoughts on this?
