Is it possible for an adult to gain height using HGH?

Is it possible to gain height by using human growth hormone at ages 23-25? or is that too late?

1. nope, the growth plates fuse during the final stages of puberty. HGH is expensive it would run a good $1,500-2,000 a month to use dosages high enough to cause skeletal growth
2. Previous Answer is right. There would be no growth in adults. There is no growth because the cartillage plates in the bones have fused. Interestingly, some adults do have excess HGH production, normally due to a pituitary tumour (Craniopharyngioma). The symptom these people experience is Acromegaly. So HGH treatment in adults causes acromegaly where the bones kind of become thicker. This is noticeable in the jaw mostly, and happens instead of growth.
