21 Yrs, Want To Increase Height. How To Boost The Growth Of Hormone Production?
Hello Doctor, I m 5 10 but I want to be taller. I ll be turning 21 in February. It is said that at 21 you stop growing. Is there anything I can do to increase my height? I want the coveted 6 ft mark. I ve read about an HGH cocktail, a mixture of 3 tomatoes, 250 g broad beans and 250g cabbage. Heard it boosts growth hormone production . Is it true? and will it be helpful?

Dear user, Hi! I am really sorry but I am not aware of any GH cocktail. But at 21 years of age most of the bones ahve already fused and you will not grow that i know as endocrinologist. Secondly you will grow as per your genetic potential and not according to what you want. So as per your genes if you have attained the maximum height possible for you you will not grow. Regards!
