A member asked:
Would mk-677 help a 16 year old grow taller if his growth plates are still open?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not any taller than they would grow naturally. Even growth hormone, given to people who are not deficient only reach their expected final height, but may do so sooner. As an over the counter supplement, it is not required to meet the safety and purity standards of drugs approved for prescription use.
