What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained changes in growth, height, or body composition, or if you suspect a growth hormone imbalance. It's often used to help evaluate short stature in children or to look into symptoms like unusual growth patterns, low energy, or changes in muscle and fat distribution in adults. The 9-specimen collection captures how growth hormone levels change over time, since a single measurement can be misleading.

What's included in this test?

This test focuses specifically on growth hormone, measured across 9 separate blood draws. Because growth hormone naturally rises and falls throughout the day, collecting multiple samples gives a much more accurate picture of your body's actual secretion pattern than a single blood draw could.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each value's normal range clearly explained so you can see where you fall. Depending on what your results show, next steps might include lifestyle adjustments, retesting after a few months, or seeking care quickly if a value is extremely abnormal. You can download the full lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you track your growth hormone levels over multiple tests to see patterns.

How can I naturally support healthy growth hormone levels?

Getting enough deep sleep is one of the biggest natural boosters of growth hormone release, since most of it is secreted at night. Regular exercise, especially high-intensity or strength training, and reducing sugar intake can also help support healthy levels. Maintaining a healthy body weight matters too, since excess body fat can suppress natural growth hormone production.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Because this test involves 9 separate specimens, the lab needs a bit more time to process and analyze each sample. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is useful for children being evaluated for unusually short stature or slow growth, and for adults with symptoms like low energy, unexplained muscle loss, or changes in body composition. It's also considered when there's concern about either too much or too little growth hormone production. This multi-specimen approach is especially helpful for anyone whose single blood draw results have been unclear or borderline.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

In children, signs include growing much more slowly than peers or falling behind expected height milestones. In adults, watch for persistent fatigue, unexplained changes in muscle mass or body fat, or noticeable changes in bone or facial structure. If you or your child are experiencing these signs, this test can help clarify whether growth hormone levels are playing a role.

What does high growth hormone mean?

High growth hormone levels can point to excess production, which in adults may show up as coarsening facial features, enlarged hands or feet, or joint pain, and in children may cause excessive growth. This finding usually calls for follow-up testing to confirm the pattern, since GH levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day. If your results are significantly elevated, it's a good idea to seek medical care promptly for further evaluation.

What does low growth hormone mean?

Low growth hormone levels can contribute to slow growth in children or symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, and higher body fat in adults. A single low reading isn't always meaningful since levels vary during the day, which is why this test uses 9 specimens to capture a fuller pattern. If your results consistently show low levels, retesting or additional stimulation testing may provide more clarity.

How often should I retest?

If your first results are borderline or you're actively monitoring a growth or hormone concern, retesting every 3 to 6 months is a reasonable starting point. Children being monitored for growth issues may need more frequent checks tied to their growth curve. Use the trends feature in your account to track changes over time and see whether levels are moving in a helpful direction.
