Why isn't HGH prescribed in small doses for LL patients consolidating? Wouldn't the HGH stimulate bone cells to grow more and faster so that callus if formed faster? Wouldn't it accelerate overall healing/recovering time? If prescribed while lengthening, assuming there aren't any ligament/tendon/muscle problems, if hgh causes the bone to heal faster then would a patient have to lengthen faster/at a quicker rate? Say maybe 1.5-2mm a day?

I think yes hgh will do something to make the process faster and the new bone stronger
-
The reason we lengthen 1mm/day is because of soft tissues

The only things you need to aid in consolidation are daily multivitamins. Calcium, Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C, Copper, Silicon, Phosphorus, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin K are all great for bone healing. A good amount of meat in the diet helps too.
There's no real reason to risk anything by taking HGH or even steroids (as asked in other threads). At most, ultrasound therapy should be the only thing extra if you really feel the need for it.

But let's say a patient stretches for months leading to the surgery. If his/her soft tissues are already adequately stretched can he/she lengthen past 1mm a day?

If you lengthen too fast you risk non-union, which is much more of a problem to deal with than pre-consolidation from lengthening too slow.

the tb 500 is most effective tu HGH
-
It's not required because the cost would increase dramatically from frequent injections and risky side effects. Even though it speeds up healing, your body can regenerate well with better results in it's own chosen amount of time.
Not to say someone can't do that, but it's been unheard of.

if done wrong it shuts you down and like steroids its so easy to abuse when your doing LL your body stops producing test or HGH your life is going to feel like and work or anything like that just makes the process even worse lmfao

Hgh is amazing and would make ll a lot more enjoyable. Better pain management, better consolidation, more determination, better sleep, better recovery after physiotherapy. Betz has been known to prescribe it and I bet some American do tors have aswell. It is amazing drug

Does he prescribe it to troubled patients or just standard?
