Teen taking HGH - Pros and Cons

[nebco1]

Hi all I have a young friend who looks up to me a lot. He's heard from many sources that taking human growth hormone or jintropin during puberty will increase his height and specifically increase his penis size growth. He thinks it's a miracle drug and wants to take it. What would be the cons and pros of him taking it. I don't want to stop him if the pros outweigh the coins because he is fairly short and could use some height.

Unless he's deficient in natural GH production your friend won't see any additional height growth from reasonable doses but he does risk abnormal bone growth if his epiphyseal plates aren't sealed.

And penis growth from gh is a ridiculous myth.

Apparently it's not a myth it's one of the bodies hormones that is responsible for triggering penis growth during puberty and is prescribed by doctors for micropenis. Thanks for you're response can it lead to diabetes later in life also because of insulin antagonistic properties?

It is prescribed for people/kids who are deficient in this hormone, what sgt H is saying and is true that taking extra while your at normal levels won't do anything for penis size.

If you can't get real hgh your wasting your money anyways.

I don't see anything wrong with hgh while young if dosed correctly, you don't want to disrupt your natural releases, so NEVER(while your young) inject before or even close to bed or post workout. These are times the body releases a large amounts naturally. I would suggest a low dose first thing in the morning.

Ummmm no GH is NOT prescribed for micropenis or any other penis disorders lol. It's prescribed for GH deficiency in adults and children or to prevent or reverse muscle wasting from HIV. And it's not just one if the bodies hormones that triggers penis growth - it triggers all natural growth. So unless the reason you have a micropenis is due to GH deficuency then taking GH will not make your micropenis grow.

GH can cause decreased insulin sensitivity especially for those who are predisposed but long term effects from prolonged use and eventual diabetes haven't been proven.
