Does hgh hormone help a 22year old man to grow taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth over: No. By age 22, puberty is over, the bone growth plates have fused, and you will not grow taller. Excess growth hormone at this time will make the bones thicker, but not in a good way. Check out "acromegaly", a disorder of pituitary gh excess.
