What would you do in my shoes to get that extra inch out of interest?Appreciate the support
I am not 100% researched on the topic since my growth plates are closed, but I still have some interest since the influence of growth hormones on bone thickness does not go away after growth plate closure.
From what I can tell, low doses of growth hormone spread throughout the day is the safest and most reliable way to promote growth, but growth hormone is very cost prohibitive.
99% of people on growth hormone use GH made in UGL's (Underground Labs, typically in India and China), and the quality is questionable despite even 100 IU of it costing at least a few hundred. At minimum, if you were to do bloods, you would find that 100 IU of pharmaceutical grade HGH would give far better results in comparison.
But pharmaceutical grade HGH is far more cost prohibitive and difficult to obtain. Personally, I do not want to describe how to source it and cost can vary a lot.
Peptides, such as Mod GRF (1-29), CJC-1295+DAC, etc, are the next best thing. They work by stimulating your own pituitary to release excess growth hormone. A short period of research will show you the difference in GH output and half life between the different peptides.
I would never use peptides personally, because although the research is small, some of it points to an increased risk of cancer with using peptides over HGH injections.
I am yet to be convinced, but would not risk it myself.
Research and studies on the use of Aromatase Inhibitors to treat short stature seem to speak for themselves. I welcome other people to correct me if I'm wrong, but AI's seem like the most accessible option with the most proven results. Illegal in more countries than it is legal though.

I have also read of other experimental drugs stimulating growth and having proven results. But they are highly experimental where side-effects are just too unknown at this point in time.
