Does anyone know if HGH injections can increase the final height of a person if taken at a young enough age or whether it would simply make you reach your final height faster?
I’ve heard conflicting reports mentioning both outcomes.
This question is purely out of curiosity.

That’s the interesting question though because is the genetic potential linked to the natural production of HGH?
Because some people that have thyroid problems and produce massive amounts tend to become gigantic.

If it would not gigantism would not be a side effect of pituitary gland tumours for example. However, no sane doctor or any sane person would give a kid with a healthy hormone status HGH to make them taller. The side effects can be very dangerous and nothing worth any height increase.
Aromatase inhibitors can prolong the growth phase and change the final height too but that also has dangerous risks.
Overall I am happy I did not do any stupid stuff when I was a teenager. LL is much healthier (as crazy as that sounds) and better than messing with your hormones and potentially even get some heart issues etc.
I was thinking maybe it is not how much HGH you are producing while growing that determines final height, but something more complex like how sensitive your cells are to the HGH and other hormones.
The risks are enlarged organs right? And maybe messing up the bodies natural hormone production? I’m guessing if your receptors arent as sensitive for skeletal growth but maybe organs are more sensitive so for every inch of height you’d have a more enlarged organ than someone tall with natural body.
