Turns out that even by using HGH, you are unlikely to exceed your genetic potential height.

The only use for it really is GH deficient people. Most teens (99% of all of you) are not GH deficient so it seems to be rather useless for height.

A 5-year analysis of GH treatment in children with IGHD, MPHD, SGA, or ISS showed significant height SDS gains (1.6–2.1), but outcomes approached—not exceeded—genetic height potential (defined as mid-parental target height), with corrected HSDS improving toward the target

Meta-analyses for SGA (4 RCTs, 391 kids) and ISS (10 studies, including 3 RCTs) found modest adult height gains (~4–5.7 cm over controls), but these reduce deficits rather than surpass genetic predictions; response is variable and smaller than in GH-deficient cases, with no high-quality evidence for exceeding potential in non-deficient kids.

Also clinical guidelines confirm that in healthy children with normal GH levels, exogenous HGH does not boost final height beyond genetics and risks side effects like accelerated bone maturation.

Those jesters on tiktok didn't take hgh whilst it was being gatekept, they're just trying to scam you into buying their shitty course. Realistically, HGH is useless unless you have a GH deficiency which is unlikely.

I have been saying this ever since this idea became popular, these people just hear stuff and think ts true bc 70% of the community is retarded.
Yeah, creators would go to the pits of hell and back if it meant you'd buy their products/courses

I thinkthat GH can make you exceed your genetic potential, but by a maximum of 3 cm

Just looked through, yes that study does suggest that hgh can exceed the estimated potential height in young children but this is what it finishes with: "but this change was not significantly greater than that of the observation group"

Interpretation: "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 absolutely shows that the 3cm of POTENTIAL height gain is no where near worth the problems that hgh causes.

And what problems are you referring to ?
From my knowledge it has way more benefits than "problems". There is more to hgh than just getting taller

? Can you provide a study for that
If I'm not wrong Estrogen is the main factor in growth plate closure not IGF-1
As looksmaxer looksmaxer said, it closes growth plates early. I'm on the train rn but ill send a detailed explanation once I get home later tonight.
