>There is literally a hormone called Human Growth Hormone

once your bones are fully ossified (between 18 and 23 usually) the amount you'd have to take to get any height increase would totally, utterly fuck your organs to absolute shit, to like big lenny levels
that being said i knew a kid at school who was the son of a russian squillionaire. he was really small and weedy until the age of like 13 when he left school for three months to go see some "specialist" and came back like three inches taller and way beefier, and he's like 6'3 and huge now and we're all pretty sure he had some serious hormone therapy. so yeah if you get on the HGH during or right after puberty it probably has the potential to rescue childlets from a lifetime of misery, but if your parents aren't willing to procure you risky illegal hormones before you're too old you're fucked

Do HGH supplements work? I don't have money for normal therapy.

>>42398885

your bones cap themselves off at a certain age. you'd have to know in advance that you were going to be short and have the funds to do it at a young age.

>>42398885
Probably, but not necessarily. You can find out for sure with a bone age x-ray, it will show whether your growth plates are closed.

healthcare brah here. will answer questions.
>>42397887
will piggyback on this. the amount of GH taken as an adult will not only fuck you up, it can possibly throw you into a major imbalance and cause acromegaly (bones grow wider, your face looks like shrek, your organs grow too large to function correclty) Pretty much you grow wider and larger instead of taller.
>>42399123
seconding. epiphyseal plates are the section of your bone that allow for bone growth. once you reach the end of puberty these plates begin to close and you will no longer grow taller, just wider!
In order to benefit from growth hormone you pretty much would have had to take it before puberty ended, and even then it's not worth it. you need adequate calcium for bone growth and strength, vitamin D for absorption of calcium for bone growth and generally a fuck ton of other vitamins and nutrients
>Tl;dr Manlets exist for many reasons other than genetics.
No GH will not help you as an adult.

>>42399050
If you want to know if a supplement actually works the first thing that you should do is to check WADA's banned substance list for it
Also chink generic HGH is like a buck an iu, so you might have the money for that

Lookup the cost for HGH

Not only HGH won't make you taller past a certain age, but it has also become prohibitively expensive due to regulations. A decade ago a dose of HGH costed like 3€ here as it was mass imported from China. The EU imposed some regulations that prevent individuals from buying it and also banned or restricted importing it from China, so now the cost of an HGH treatment is on the thousands of euros, which effectively prices out most parents from being able to afford it.

And of course as always it was because """"""""""safety""""""""" reasons. Not because our economies are a cartelized piece of shit and the producers wanted to force everyone to have to pay more.

God I hate the EU.

Probably because it's outrageously expensive, dangerous, and requires like bi-weekly injections for several years.

Why are there always like six non-fitness related threads on the front page of this shit board at any given time? The only one that's even remotely funny is the one about the gym bard. Do you guys really want this to just be /r9k/ with a different sticky at the top?

Hahahaha
Youre fucked nomatter what chinky

Lionel Messi abused HGHs and he's still a manlet. They help but they're not going to make a midget into a normal person.

>>42400670
Are you implying that it isn't at least moderately unsafe? It's not like all of the potential side-effects are even known, and really the benefit isn't that large relative to the fact that you're fucking with a child's hormones during the most volatile period of their life. I would never give my kid that shit unless they were like sub-5'

>>42400696

1. Because theres a sticky
2. Because working out doesnt take that much knowledge
3.All the niche lifters have their threads
4. You sound like a bitch
5. Tell your mother I'll call her tonight

>>42400746
People could go to their doctor and get it done cheaply, now except for extreme cases they can't and when they can it's very expensive. What I'm talking here is about the real world results.

Something being unsafe is not an argument for regulation. Don't be a bootlicker.

yea bro you don't rely on any regulatory agencies for safety on a daily basis right?

>>42400929
Exactly.

>>42398885
Most likely. You have a slim chance of continued growth being possible, but unless you're near the manlet cut-off you'll still be a manlet.

Pace didn't continue at that rate unfortunately, but I hit 181cm when I was 17, and now I'm 185cm at 24. Size 12 US shoes.

Completely different for me, I was always the tallest until like 4th grade, then I just slowed down and stopped fully at manlet cut-off point (180cm). In kindergarten I looked like I could have down syndrome, that's how big I was (140cm at 6).
