Thread: Has anyone experienced slight height increases on HGH?

  1. #1

    Has anyone experienced slight height increases on HGH?

    I haven't seen any studies of the effects of HGH on height in adults, so I'm curious if anyone can share personal experiences. I know that after age 20, the long bones have fused and can no longer increase in length. However, there are other bones that contribute to height (pelvis, spine, and skull). If HGH can increase the size of the these bones, can it increase height slightly? I'm only hoping for an inch or so. Even half an inch would be great.

    the reason there are no studies is there is no clinical reason to fund such a study on normal, young adults. even in youngsters that are diagnosed with stunted height syndrome (i think that's what it's called?), there are too few out there to form a statistically significant population. There are risks, and the doctors know it.

    So all we really have is anecdotal data, and educated opinions. No one here is qualified, nor experienced, to answer your question.

    Sorry

    adding actual length with growth hormone after your plates have fused would probably be considered a result of acromegaly.

    if you are really this interested in a centimeter height increase then put drugs aside and just stuff something in your shoes...
