They can be given once you have reached puberty or very behind in starting. The negative side to HGH is it makes your organs, feet.....grow too. This can stress the body. Don't go on them unless it is neccessary.

You might find this interesting. Fortunately I live in the UK where hormone growth promoters were banned some time ago.
Not sure how reliable the research is though.

Consult your doctor. HGH is serious stuff.
Answer by Andrew Clements
I only know one guy who takes HGH.
The only effective HGH is injections. And they must be taken often (I think at least once or twice daily). A doctor should prescribe it, although u can buy it without a prescription I think (In Canada...Don't know about USA or other places).
HGH pills, liquids (or anything taken orally) DO NOT work. Also injectible HGH is not cheap.
As for whether it would be good for u personally, I'm no doctor and couldn't even begin to answer it even if I saw u in person. U will need to consult a real doctor for a valid opinion.

Answer by Bilbo
You are usually done growing by about 21, so going on being taller than your parents, I would think that's it.
After that you start shrinking imperceptibly as your posture changes and gravity kicks in. Forget the hormone things they won't help and could give you nasty side effects.
Answer by Fluffy Cheryl?
oral growth hormone does not work as it is destroyed by stomach acids.. GH only works if injected just under the skin.
Answer by Spring is Here!!!
I don't think so. It may hurt you more than help you, plus the needle would hurt like heck.
Answer by "moonbuggyrover"
Usually growing stops at the age of 21. My brother is still 17 and he has the height of 5"6. My father is 5"5. you can grow still and stop at some older age. You just have to eat nutritious foods. I recomend you not to eat junkfoods and foods that are high in carbohydrates because that makes you short and weak. You also sleep early anfhave enough sleep. You should sleep at the afternoon too. if you sleep in the afternoon, you became tall and in the night you became more intelligent, but that will happen if you have enough.

You could get arrested for child endangerment.
If it is a prescription medication for YOU & the child takes it - drug charges would enter the picture. Child abuse comes to mind. Any charges city, county, state or federal officers deem necessary.
The Department of Family & Children's Services would probably remove the child from the home because you are deemed unfit to be responsible for him.
Answer by RADA
I don't know why this myth/urban legend is so damn popular..
I think I answer this question 4-7 time a week, if you search Y! Answers, you'll see 100s of responses telling you the same thing. "Weight Lifting DOESN"T stunt human growth!
There is ZERO medical evidence that weightlifting caused X individuals who were supposed to be Y tall to only reach Z in height.
Just like your hair color, eye color, sex, etc, your height is predetermined by your family genetics at the moment of conception.
Weight lifting/physical fitness WILL NOT, CAN NOT, DOES NOT stunt your growth!!!!
In fact is has been scientifically proven that proper weight training can stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more Growth Hormone (GH), which may have a positive affect on someones overall height. Also, persons who are into weightlifting and physical fitness tend to take better care of themselves, which can allow their body to maximize its overall height potential.
Only 3 things can change or "stunt" normal human growth:
Malnutrition
Disease
Excessive, Chronic Drug Use
Massive injury to an individuals spinal cord may affect their overall height, but the body would still "grow" to its predetermined height and size. So even a weightlifting injury would not "stunt" growth.
Answer by jamescotton
I've read that extreme muscle movements specifically squats and dead lift, both which suck to do, will stress your body so much that it will raise the HGH level.
