🧵 How does growth hormone really work?

There is a lot of talk about this, but generally from a somewhat mystical perspective.
Is it really possible to stimulate this hormone? if yes, how? and we see some people claiming that it is possible to grow after the age of 18. I haven't read any scientific articles about this, but apparently it's false? Does anyone know anything?

the epiphyseal or growth plate at the end of long bones are responsible for growth. They grow mainly in response to IGF-1 secreted by the liver in response to rises of growth hormone. The release of growth hormone is controlled mainly by three hormones: Somatostatin, the principle inhibitory hormone, Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone which stimulates and initiates growth hormone release, and Ghrelin which is the 'modulating' hormone.
If you are looking for something to 'stimulate' growth hormone, ghrelin and its various pharmacological analogues are your friend. Compounds such as Ipamorelin, GHRP-2,-6, and MK-677 (LUM-201) are well known to various bodybuilding/longevity forums for their potential in helping muscle growth and retaining youthfulness. They are also easy to source from grey market peptide sites and are dirt cheap from china.
Unfortunately for you, epiphyseal plates close near the end of puberty, and exogenously administered recombinant human growth hormone only seems to elicit positive changes in the predicted adult height of children with growth hormone deficiency or those idiopathically short statured at 2 S.D. below the mean. These therapies are often also given before the onset of puberty, and last for years. Maybe AI genomics will save you. If you want to know more just talk to ChatGPT.

groundbreaking stuff. Also never heard of anyone administering exogenous ghrelin before but go on.

I also think it is weird that modern science has not found a more safe and reliable way to increase height of adults except for breaking your bones and stretching them like some medieval torture

Is anyone else having trouble replying to people on 4chan?

Who would’ve guessed trying to artificially enhance growth would have a risk of causing abnormal growths to develop. Very insightful
