What are growth hormones?

Could growth hormones still work?

• So i'm 17 and will turn 18 on november 30th and plan on taking growth hormones then, because now i'd still need my parents consent. I've heard that males can technically grow until 21, so i think i should give it a try. What i want to know is, if there's anybody who could gain a few inches by taking growth hormones when he was 18, because i'm afraid that it will be too late for me. Also, could you recommend me a country where i can get a good and affordable hormone therapy, because i think to get one at my age in germany is impossible, if you're not a midget. It should be save there too, because i don't want to get aids or **** like that. Thanks.

• Answer:

  It's possible you could still grow. But, im 17 also and I havent grown since I was 13, im 5'9'' by the way. But that could just be me. Possible side effects if HGH include Nerve, muscle, or joint pain Swelling due to fluid in the bodys tissue Carpal tunnel syndrome Numbness and tingling of the skin High cholesteral levels Hope this helps!
