Why the FDA Doesn’t "Approve" Growth Hormone
Safety Concerns – Excessive GH can cause acromegaly, insulin resistance, heart enlargement, and increased cancer risk.
Benefit–Risk Balance – For many conditions (e.g., idiopathic short stature) the long‑term benefit is uncertain.
Regulatory Standards – Drugs must meet stringent evidence of safety, efficacy, and quality before approval.
Bottom Line
The FDA has no "growth hormone" product to approve; it regulates only approved drugs.
Any drug claiming to stimulate growth would be regulated as a prescription medication (e.g., growth hormone therapy).
You cannot obtain or legally use an unapproved substance that claims to enhance growth without going through the proper regulatory pathway.
If you’re considering any supplement or product that promises height increase, it’s best to consult a licensed healthcare professional and verify its regulatory status with the FDA or other official bodies.
