Hello all, welcome to my thread, quick disclaimer. I am not a medical professional, and all information comes from credible sources. I hope you enjoy reading, please rep my shit bhai!

What does HGH do when growth plates are open?


When growth plates are open, HGH stimulates the production of IGF-1, which promotes/increases the growth of bones and other tissues. It mainly increases the linear projection of long bones at the growth plates, contributing to increases in height, this is well understood forum-wide, and HGH is the most used pharmaceutical for increasing growth in humans.


The misconception of HGH dosing for growth

You may have heard many people saying 'just buy as much as you can afford' when talking about dosing HGH. It is commonly taught that the more HGH you use, the taller you will be, and you may see people taking >20iu/day of HGH in their cycles. This is a stupid idea, and my later points will prove this

HGH dosage is NOT linear

HGH isn't 'the more the better', its almost the exact opposite. For example, the results you will see off of 20iu will not be double that of 10iu, infact, you will only be seeing maybe 10-20% more results, for DOUBLE the price, and debatably double the side effects.


The negative side effects of running >10iu

Excess levels of HGH can contribute to faster bone-age, and growth plate maturation, this literally means that higher levels of HGH will close your growth plates faster. This is mainly seen in high dosage trials, around 16iu-30iu, where premature growth plate closure was directly linked to the high dosage of HGH in test subjects.

Many other side effects come with HGH, regardless of the dosage, complications such as bloating, insulin resistance, joint pain ect come hand in hand with injecting the substance, another horrific side effect of running dosages above 10iu, is the insanely inflated risk of diabetes, with it being almost unmanageable when running extremely high dosages.



Would you rather spend double the money, just to see 10% more growth, but with double the side effects?

Can you show me any study that proof your opinion?:aquaCry:
 
high dose gh can accelerate bone age in some populations but estrogen is the main driver of the fusion, which AIs can help with

in a couple trials i found, they used around the same hgh does but one used .7 mg/kg/week of gh, and if u were 63kg thats roughly 19 iu/day, and the high dose group acheived greater near final height

fda labeling also allows doses above a 10-iu/day equivalent for some pediatrics

many people on this forum also come to a general consensus that high/ish hgh dose is good
