Had Kawasaki Disease. Super-Growth Height Enhancer. Is It Safe To Use?

My son is 16 and he found Super-Growth Height Enhancer on line. Is it safe for him to take this? He suffered from kawasaki disease two year ago and it damaged his hear to the point where he had to be treated with asprin and regular check ups with a cardiologist. His heart is fine now but I am afraid that this product will harm him.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Normally height increases only up to 18 years.
At this age epiphysis of various bone united after complete ossification.
Many factors plays an important role in height.
Genetic ,
heredity,
diet ( rich in protein),
exercises ,
growth hormone secretion .
Such type of height enhancer will work ? I doubt .
There is no scientific proof, rather they may harm.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
