growth hormone might help you be more muscular but i think it wont make you taller .. except you strat going to swim classes, basketball - take lots of calcium ... the main thing is to make your bones grow
What do you think? Answer below!
In general, the treatment of dwarfism and achondroplasts by growth hormone administration stops being effective once the hormonal revolution which comes with puberty has set in. So I am afraid that in your case chances of gaining height are zero.
ReplyDeleteAthletes and bodybuilders sometimes use HGH to gain extra muscle mass but they never grow any taller.
ReplyDeleteOnce your growth plates are closed no further height growth is possible.
Midgets and dwarfs with open growth plates can sometimes gain a few inches with HGH injections by a doctor because often their pituitary gland is malfunctioning and not releasing enough HGH but if a person with open growth plates has a normally functioning pituitary gland then HGH injections won't help to gain extra height.
