A member asked:
Does hgh make you taller because of igf-1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Growth hormone stimulates growth by both directly binding to various cells in the body and thereby stimulate growth, as well as by stimulating the production of IGF-1. IGF-1 then binds to various cells and stimulates growth through other mechanisms.
