A member asked:
Adult height is 5'7. if i took human growth hormones, how much taller would i be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No taller: At age 44, taking hgh (human growth hormone) will not make you any taller. Once your growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, have fused (closed), you cannot grow any taller.
