Human Growth Hormone
In 1994, the FDA authorized the use of Human Growth Hormone for adults. For the first time, adults are now able to have their age-related deficiency of this critical hormone replaced safely with natural, pharmaceutically produced Human Growth Hormone. The results of HGH replacement are astounding.
Studies have shown that Biomarkers of Aging (strength, reaction time, skin elasticity, vital capacity, concentration, memory, bone density, visual accommodation, hearing, tactile sense, and others) can be improved. Patients may experience 1% gain in lean muscle mass per month and 2% loss of body fat per month. Skin wrinkles and age spots can improve. Sexual vitality may return. We anticipate that with HGH replacement along with other indicated hormone replacement including nutrition and exercise, that we can now expect to live in excellent health.
HGH
Aids fat loss and muscle gain
Thickens skin
Decreases sick days
Helps the body heal faster
Strengthens bones
Boosts energy to youthful levels
Improves quality of life

ESTROGEN
Estrogen is an essential sex hormone that declines abruptly in women during their menopause. When women do not initiate a prompt estrogen replacement program at the time of menopause, they undergo accelerated aging manifested by: osteoporosis, senility, heart disease, loss of muscle mass, loss of skin elasticity and thickness, atrophy of the female genitalia, and depression.
Estrogen replacement therapy significantly delays or prevents this accelerated aging process seen in women following menopause. In fact, women who take estrogen replacement have half the degenerative diseases of women who do not take estrogen replacement and live an average of 3.5 years longer. What is even more amazing, is that these positive statistics are with those patients on Premarin (non-human estrogen taken from the urine of pregnant horses). Dr. Borgardt uses only natural estrogen replacement; measure estradiol levels and adjusts dosages to pre-menopausal levels. We have every reason to believe that the anti-aging effects of natural human estrogen will be even better than with horse estrogen, but without the side effects.

PROGESTERONE
Progesterone is also a female sex hormone that keeps estrogen in balance and is therefore absolutely necessary in the female hormone replacement program regardless of whether the female has a uterus or not. This concept is not understood by some physicians and this has lead to an increase in cancers of the uterus and breast in women on estrogen replacement, alone. Progesterone has powerful anti-cancer properties. In addition, Progesterone facilitates the action of other hormones such as thyroid, testosterone, and endorphins. Synthetic progesterones (progestins) such as Provera lack many of the beneficial properties of Progesterone and in fact actually serve to increase LDL "the bad form of cholesterol". Provera also does not have the beneficial effect that Progesterone has in increasing bone mass, reversing osteoporosis, and burning fat. Dr. Borgardt uses natural progresterone replacement in his female HRT program as indicated by the individual's blood levels, and symptoms.

PREGNENOLONE "THE SMART HORMONE"
Pregnenolone is produced from cholesterol and is the "grandmother hormone" of all steroid hormones in the body. Pregnenolone acts as a precursor to our essential steroid hormones such as DHEA, Testosterone, Estrogen, Glucocorticoids, Mineralocorticoids and therefore an ample supply is critical. We have seen deficiencies in the above hormones normalize just by adding Pregenenolone to the treatment regimen.
Pregnenolone also has significant direct effects. It is extremely important for optimal mental performance and is synthesized by the supporting neuronal cells in the brain. Studies have shown that when Pregnenolone is administered, memory is enhanced and mood is improved. Pregnenolone has nerve growth factor ability and has been used in spinal cord injury patients and stroke patients. Dr. Borgardt uses Pregnenolone as an essential part of its supplement program.
Pregnenolone
DHEA
DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands. It begins to drop when we are thirty years old and declines linearly until we die. In fact, death ensues as soon as the DHEA levels hit zero. Some people, therefore, use DHEA levels as a biomarker for aging. DHEA plays a critical role in lowering our cholesterol, keeping our hearts healthy, minimizing fat deposition, preventing the development of diabetes, arthritis, and senility. Dr. Borgardt uses DHEA as an essential part of our treatment program and monitors DHEA sulfate levels to assure optimal blood DHEA levels.
DHEA
MELATONIN
Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland and is stimulated by darkness. This is why we have a pulse of melatonin release several hours after sundown. Melatonin plays a crucial role in restful, restorative sleep , regulating our 24 hour sleep-awake cycle, and in facilitating our immune system. Studies have shown that melatonin increased the lifespan of mice by 25%. Similar studies have shown melatonin to reduce the risk of breast cancer in mice. Melatonin may also decrease the chance of other cancers such as prostate cancer in males. Melatonin is an extremely powerful antioxidant that is able to enter the mitochondria of cells and neutralize free radicals.
