Question

What is the optimal age for children to use growth hormones?

Answer

Before children start using growth hormones, it’s crucial to first determine if their height development is normal. If a child’s height is below average, it may be necessary to consider whether it’s due to nutritional issues or low hormone levels. If the latter is the case, growth hormone therapy can be initiated. However, once the epiphyseal line closes (usually after puberty), the effectiveness of growth hormone treatment is impacted.
