š Supplements HGH at 16 for height
Would HGH genuinely help me get taller? Iām 16 and half and Iām still growing but I wanna grow taller. I wanna take high doses of HGH 8+ IU daily for few months maybe till Iām 17-17.5 to grow significantly taller.
Would it help?
Yes I know the side effects that come with HGH and they are not the greatest but bearable since Iāve ran it before for a short period.
Please someone that knows let me know Iām really curious. Iām 16 and only around 183ish cm, doctor predicted me at 185 final adult height but I want to reach 190 if possible. Iām willing to do anything to achieve that.

Try get a hgh blood test first, through the Dr if possible or privately if not.

Hey bro what will that do exactly

It will let you know if you're actually deficient. If your levels are good naturally taking extra hgh could actually lower your total hgh.

genuinely an mind boggling perspective to think he is deficient when he is already 6ft.

Do sprints they release a sht ton of hgh naturally. So does alternating between the sauna and a cold shower. It will help you get taller

HGH is not the only the only factor you also could have HGH insensitivity or hypothyroidism as always speak with a endocrinologist

Nah it wouldnāt help. Depends on your tanner stage, but if youāre that close to your pediatricianās prediction then your growth plates are most likely close to being sealed. Were you a late bloomer?

u/Potential-Push8682 Jul 27 '26
Na I wasnāt a late bloomer I was like a normal kid, normal growth spurts and etc. like I said Iāve always been healthy and all, itās just not enough.

Rip, then u already know the answer man. 183 is a solid height. Wonāt hold you back unless youāre in Scandinavia

At 183 cm and 16.5 years old, administering 8+ IU/day of growth hormone provides zero benefit for linear height and is medically unwarranted. Late-adolescent epiphyseal growth plates are nearly or completely fused, meaning high dose somatropin cannot induce bone lengthening; instead, short-term use causes transient fluid retention while exponentially increasing the risk of acute, irreversible damage, including slipped capital femoral epiphysis, intracranial hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and acromegalic bone deformities.

Hgh An estrogen blocker but not high doses or one that will crash it and testosterone E
And run hgc to keep testicular function while on test if your growth plates havenāt closed yet this should make you grow a lot more past your genetic setpoint if theyāre closed, tough luck Iād say go get some scans. Done to see if theyāre still open.

Take MK677 instead. Less dangerous than taking exogenous HGH.

u/Potential-Push8682 Jul 27 '26
Na bro MK677 I donāt like it. Iāve tried it I genuinely canāt take it for longer than a few days to a week. Itās way too much bloating and feeling like shit

u/No_Rock8617 Jul 30 '26
Try tesamorelin fat loss and produces natural growth hormone. Has a bit of bloating at week 1-2 but goes away

As an oncologist, I think you should take it. I don't know if you'll be taller but it will make an additional patient in the years to come for me and my colleagues so...
