  • Reduced muscle strength or poor exercise recovery
  • Increased body fat, especially around the waist
  • Decreased bone density or frequent fractures
  • Depression, anxiety, or mood changes
  • Thinning or dry skin

  • Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD)
  • Pituitary gland disorders
  • Delayed growth or short stature in children
  • Muscle wasting or loss of lean body mass
  • Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance
