Growth hormone can be an important indicator of aging. Low growth hormone can cause fatigue and weight gain, and make it harder to build muscle. You can maximize your body's ability to make growth hormone by getting plenty of sleep, moderate exercise, and eating wholesome foods.

This easy, accurate, virtually painless, take-at-home blood spot test can give you a useful portrait of your growth hormone level and save you the trip to a lab. You just follow the simple instructions, then mail the dry sample to the lab in a prepaid envelope.

NOTE: New York State Residents
New York State health law prohibits the testing of specimens collected in or mailed from New York, and prohibits the transmission of data from the laboratory to NY physicians or residents. Therefore, direct receipt of lab results for NY residents is not possible.
