Reply to If Robert waldow became so tall because of an excess of hgh, then why does taking hgh not make you taller? by Komoasks
Non-scientist here with a total guess! Robert Wadlow naturally produced more HGH than he should, so this was happening during more of his growth periods like puberty as well where the effect would be significantly more pronounced. I remember reading something a while ago about how his record will never be beaten because physicians will recognize the condition early on and manage it to prolong the life and quality of life of anyone with that condition.
