Simple question regarding HGH

[chip108]

I have been a long time user of anabolic steroids. I never thought much about HGH but I do have one question about it. Please don't bash me for this simple minded question because I am totally ignorant of HGH. Anyway my question is this: can or will HGH increase a man's height? I know, really stupid but I am curious.

Are you a short guy, or a tall guy?


As an adult, no it shouldn't make you taller.

i do think as a child it may, im pretty sure ive read of doctors givving very monitored doses of it for kids with growth probelms

For a full sized adult...no.

They are correct, once the growth plates are closed in the bones, you will not grow taller. With high doses of HGH in adults, the hands and feet can grown some along with the intestines. At resonable doses, not high doses, you should not get those side effects.

That's it ^^^

I have read some suggestions that it's efficacy in relation to heigth is only in children with a deficiency in GH - i.e. even a teenager with normal GH levels will not grow taller per se. Will try to pull a study
