Suggest Remedy For Short Height After Taking Accutane

Hi, i am 19years old and my height is 5ft. 6in. and i am interested in taking height growth plus to see if i can gain a few inches. Does the supplement work? Also I took Accutane almost two years ago for like 4 months but stopped taking it since I read that it can stunt your growth. By taking Accutane could it have caused me to stop growing if there is still a chance to grow taller should I take Height growth plus.

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
Height is genetically determined when you are born,,
At the age of puberty there will be a growth spurt when you will achieve the total height..
You can take growth plus but it increases the overall metabolism of the body producing some unwanted effects also..
Accutane might have had a little effect when you were taking that but good that you have stopped it..
Take a well balanced high protein diet for good health..
Hope this information helps you..Take care..
