The only randomized double-blind study with a placebo-controlled group found a difference in final length of 0.57 sds. The study, which is 3.4 cm, involved children aged 10 years old, and the treatment lasted five years. So, if you started at age 10 and used it for five years, we can finally say that you might increase your final height by 1-4 cm. Don't forget that the dose was 0.074 mg/kg. Let's assume your weight is 70 kg; 0.074 x 70 = 5.18, which is approximately 16 IU. Since it was used every other day, the daily dose would be at least 8 IU. Now, remember that the children in the study were pre-pubescent, and you are now in adulthood, producing growth hormone and IGF-1 at a rate 2-3 times higher than pre-pubescent children. It's reasonable to assume that you would need at least 16-24 IU daily to achieve this increase, if you even get it, since you are no longer a child. Unfortunately, even this study tracked near-adult final height. After reaching this height, some people typically gain 1-4 cm. So, if they tracked real final adult height, the increase would likely be much less.
And no, the height gain will only happen if you use it for at least 5 years, because another double-blind, randomized study using a dose of 0.075 mg/kg/day on children aged 4-10 years, with a treatment duration of 2.3 years, tracked their actual adult height (when they were 20 years old). The increase? It wasn't actually an increase; it was a decrease of 0.2 SDS, which is approximately 1.5 cm less than the untreated group (JFL). The dose they used was 0.75 mcg/kg. As I mentioned, that was in pre-pubescent children, so you are now in puberty, so we will double the dose: 0.075 x 70 = 5.25 x 2 = 10.5 mg which is approximately 31 ius Therefore, I regret to inform you that if you use any dose lower than 31 ius , you may lose some of your final height.
Sorry to tell u guys , stop using ur non-RCTs full of bias , and The disastrous methodology and use high quality study and stop giving people fake hope , stop the fucking cope
