How would taking human growth hormone (HGH) affect a 15 year-old boy?
I have currently been taking a supplement called Alpha-GPC, which naturally increases HGH production in the body… Is that healthy? I know my hormones are raging right now but can it help me grow taller or will it screw me over in the long run?
Just to clarify i am NOT taking HGH directly because that is illegal and I have confirmed Alpha-GPC as being a healthy drug
If I were you I wouldn’t do it unless a doctor put you on it for some reason. Also, taking supplements is not "naturally" increasing you HGH production.
Taking growth factors etc. doesn’t always lead to increased growth in a physical sense, it can also lead to premature differentiation of your cells which could lead to the opposite effect to what you want.
But meh, i’m not an expert, so ask a doctor or pharmacist.

I’m not sure I would ever recommend it to anyone under 18 and certainly not for boys because they take longer to finish growing. Taking HGH supplements can be a great and healthly thing when taken properly and bought from a reputable company. I would highly recommend loads of research before deciding anything.
