I’m 17 years old and currently 179 cm. I’m a late bloomer and my growth plates are still open. I haven’t reached the height I’m aiming for yet.
Height runs strongly in my family. On my mom’s side, the men are mostly 190 cm and above, with some around 195+ cm. The women are also tall, usually 175 cm and above, with some around 180 cm. My older brother had a similar late growth pattern and he ended up around 197 cm.
Because of this, I’m wondering if I should just trust my natural growth potential, or if I should consider taking peptides like CJC-1295 (no DAC) and Ipamorelin to try to
support additional height development.
However, I’ve heard that using peptides at this age could interfere with natural hormone balance and might possibly reduce final adult height instead of increasing it — which is something I definitely want to avoid.
So my question is:
Is it better to leave height to genetics when growth plates are still open, or can peptides be used safely without risking final height? I’m especially interested in advice from people with medical or endocrinology experience.
