Prepare for your Growth Hormone Blood Test by following these instructions. Do not eat or drink anything other than water for 12 hours prior to your test. If you take medication then you are allowed to take it as you would normally. Record any growth hormone supplement use in your medical history. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test, discuss this with your doctor if it is prescribed.
The amount of growth hormone in the blood changes during the day and is affected by exercise, sleep, emotional stress, and diet.
Levels of growth hormone vary widely throughout the day, so a single measurement of growth hormone is of limited use. If you are concerned about growth hormone deficiency, we recommend discussing this with your doctor.
Growth hormone (hGH), or somatotropin, is responsible for normal body growth, metabolism, protein production in muscle cells, and energy release from the breakdown of fats in the body.
