What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained growth issues, such as slower-than-expected growth in children or signs of growth hormone imbalance in adults. It's also useful if you have symptoms like unusual height changes, fatigue, or changes in muscle and bone strength that may point to a growth hormone problem. Because growth hormone levels naturally rise and fall throughout the day, this test uses three separate specimens to get a clearer picture of your levels.

What's included in this test?

This test measures growth hormone across three separate blood draws, since GH is released in pulses throughout the day and a single sample can miss important patterns. Looking at three specimens gives a more reliable picture of whether your levels are consistently too high, too low, or within a normal range.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your account with each value's normal range clearly explained so you know what's typical and what isn't. If a value falls outside the expected range, the report will outline simple next steps, like adjusting sleep, diet, or exercise habits, or getting retested to confirm a pattern. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you track your growth hormone levels over time to see how they change.

How can I naturally support healthy growth hormone levels?

Getting enough deep sleep is one of the biggest natural boosters of growth hormone, since most of it is released while you sleep. Regular exercise, especially high-intensity workouts and strength training, can also help stimulate healthy GH production. Eating a balanced diet, limiting sugar, and maintaining a healthy weight all support your body's natural hormone rhythms.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll receive a notification once your report is available in your account. If your results need extra review time due to the multiple specimens involved, you'll still see everything organized clearly once processing is complete.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for parents concerned about a child's slow growth or short stature compared to peers. Adults who have symptoms like low energy, changes in muscle mass, or bone density concerns may also want to check their growth hormone levels. It's also useful for anyone tracking a known growth hormone condition over time.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

In children, signs include growing much slower than other kids the same age or falling behind on growth charts. In adults, symptoms can include unexplained fatigue, loss of muscle mass, weight changes, or reduced bone strength. If you've noticed any of these changes without a clear reason, this test can help identify whether growth hormone is playing a role.

What does high growth hormone mean?

High growth hormone levels can sometimes point to your body producing too much, which in adults may show up as changes in bone or joint size, and in children can cause excessive growth. This is worth tracking over time with repeat testing to see if the pattern continues. Simple lifestyle factors rarely cause very high levels, so a consistent high reading is worth taking seriously.

What does low growth hormone mean?

Low growth hormone levels may explain slow growth in children or symptoms like low energy and reduced muscle mass in adults. Improving sleep quality, staying active, and eating a nutrient-rich diet can sometimes help support your body's natural hormone production. If levels stay low on repeat testing, it's worth looking into further since GH plays a big role in growth and metabolism.

How often should I retest?

Because growth hormone levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day, many people retest within a few weeks to months to confirm a pattern, especially if the first result was unclear or borderline. For children being monitored for growth concerns, periodic retesting every few months can help track progress. Using the trends feature in your account makes it easy to compare results over time.
