I thought your height growth plates and facial ones close or stop growing at like 18 but just found out for males it can range from like 18-21 depending when you started puberty. I’m about to turn 20 and I started puberty late, would taking GH or IGF help grow bones and maybe increase height I’m 6 foot anyway but could get more

Well, if theyre open, u can grow
But u would need to use high doses. Using IA together, and u wouldnt miraculously increase several cm
Same for ur face. But idk, get tested

i dont think that HGH is guaranteed to create osteoblast activity - at least, not in the places you want it. and even if, you could still be reaping more risks then benefits by practical overdose of either GH or IGF-1.

let's say - you have a growth hormone deficiency. specifically, in young and older adults receiving GH treatment, the treatment is often 2-fold. it can either (or both) result in bone formation and resorption. this is normal, however, not something to worry about - it's bone remodeling. HOWEVER, it makes a couple of things definitive. one, GH treatment (injections of GH) in either deficient or normal healthy adults can contribute to both osteoblast and osteoclast activity (as we mentioned before, of course excluding overabundance within treatment). but two, bone remodeling as a process isn't guaranteed to give you the bones you want, rather it's replacing existing bone with healthier, stronger bone.

TL;DR, there is a possibility for growing bones, sure. possible to grow in height as well, sure. all of these things are possibilities, though. you could just be increasing the rate of bone remodeling in the end, nothing is guaranteed.

i'm fairly uneducated in this so i'd invite you to do your own research. very easy, dont rely on chatgpt. go through medical studies.

At 19/20 your plates are probably closed, you could get an xray of your wrists them post it here to see if they're closed, but realistically they are

Don't waste your money on gh or any peptides really, it won't help your height.

Remember, self love is important :p
