Just curious, I know that when the growth plates in one’s legs are open cartilage forms from them and then turns into bone with time. Does anyone think that it would be possible to inject stem cells into one’s growth plates and have them become cartilage which would then become bone?

I’m posting this question again, verbatim in the hopes that I get some better answers.

Please try to address my specific questions as opposed to offering other insight.

I am male, if that isn’t already implied.

{I will turn 16 on the 8th of September, 2007
I am 5′ 6 tall and weigh about 145 lbs

Height has always been a sensitive issue in my eyes and I can understand its importance because of how it is perceived by society.

Suffice it to say that I don’t want to stay 5′ 6 for one reason or another.

I have looked into other methods for height increase and found that most, if not all are ineffective, with the exception of the "limb lengthening procedure" and "human growth hormone," respectively.

Just judging from a cursory glance, the first of these two would not be feasible.

That leaves Human Growth Hormone. Human Growth Hormone
is available in oral sprays, pills, and injections.

Essentially, only the injections work.

I have about ,000 to spare offhand.

I have been reading prudently and found that HGH by injection, the cost that is, ranges from ",000 - ,000

I don’t quite understand the discrepancy. Nonetheless, I am willing to bear any discomfort or inconvenience if that is the issue at hand.

It is required that the epiphyseal plates be open for HGH to work properly, in increasing height gains in adolescents

In a nutshell I have three potential problems.

a)Do I have enough money to pay for the treatment (,000 no more, no less)?
b)Have my growth plates closed?

c)Supposing that cost and eligibility don’t pose an issue and I reach the treatment stage, about how much could I be expected to grow and what might be my final height?

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.}

I am a 19 year old male. I am 5′4 and my growth plates are closed. I have full facial hair, so i’m done with puberty. Is there anyway for me to increase my height permanently? I have heard about stretching and exercises, and human growth hormone, but i am not so sure that will help. Please help me
My mom is 5′4 and my dad is 5′6. My growth plates are closed. i weigh 130 lbs.
i get a lot of sleep and eat very well. I have a six pack. My body fat is at 6%.

I’m still at puberty, so if I use an inversion table to increase my height, because of the fact my growth plates have not fused yet will the height that I gain be permanent?.

I know there’s no secret formula for height and most of it is genetic, but you can’t deny that there are environmental factors. Are spines are almost always compressed. (That’s why I’m a good half inch taller when I wake up.) As a 14 year old girl who is 5′ 5” hoping for three or four more inches, through inversion, stretching, healthy diet, exercise and this supplement could I succeed?

It understands that you can’t grow much past 20 and that growth plates will fuse. It doesn’t advertise HGH or anything; it seems to be more about potential.
