Excessive Cartilage Formation – Elevated chondrocyte proliferation may result in abnormal thickening or enlargement of cartilage structures, leading to pressure, discomfort, or unexpected dimensional changes.

Skeletal Overgrowth – In individuals with open growth plates, surplus chondrocytes may undergo hypertrophy, directly driving accelerated bone elongation and increased stature beyond typical genetic expectations.

Disproportionate Remodeling – Rapid cellular expansion can create imbalances in skeletal alignment, manifesting as stiffness, joint strain, or shifts in posture as the body adapts to accelerated growth dynamics.

The side effects described are theoretical, based on underlying biological mechanisms, and have not been empirically measured in controlled studies.
