study above shows that children taking HGH had 3.5× higher risk of developing slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) compared to those not taking HGH
Final height of short normal children treated with growth hormone - PubMed
Long-term therapy in this group of children appears safe but the small increment in final height, approximately 2.8 cm in boys and 2.5 cm in girls, does not justify the widespread use of r-hGH for short normal children.
this study above shows that its more or less safe BUT shows that growth in normal children is only ~2cm
Short- and long-term (final height) data in children with normal variant short stature treated with growth hormone - PubMed
An increment in height prediction was observed during the first 2 years of GH treatment and maintained thereafter. However, there was only a minor increase in final height over predicted height which does not justify the general use of GH in children with normal variant short stature.
this study shows the same thing
just food for thought and proof that HGH isnt as good and effective.
I would even say that HGH isnt worth it considering the probable long and short term health problems
