We all know excercise stimulates growth hormone besides sleep but what physical activity and for how long. My growth plates are still open and my doctor said I can maximize my growth potential in my genes. Please answer if only you have knowledge on the subject.

I am 15. I am 5ft 6 and a half. My shoe size used to be 8 but now i was measured as a 9 and a half so my feet grew!
I haven’t grown since last year, maybe half an inch.
But because my feet are still growing bigger does it mean that i still will grow taller??
oh and my mum is 5ft7 my dad is 5ft9 and my brother is 6ft and he is 17.
Does it mean because my feet have grown bigger that my growth plates haven’t closed yet??

I am about 5’10.5 . My father is like 6,1 and my mom is 5’2. My father said he stopped growing at aout 20-21 years old. You think theres a chance that I am still growing. And what kind of things can you do to help slow the proccess of your growth plates closing, I know lower estrogen and estradiol helps. What activities or foods can do that for you? Also if your a guy what age did you stop growing? I am 18
mom was actually mor elike 5’4
thanx but I wanted tips. And Im still growing because I grew after graduation last year, and my father told me he was growing till 20-21

i am starting to take hgh injection and i dont care about side effects i read them all and i realized everthing has side effects but what i want to know how much taller i can get if im 17 and my growth plates are still open and i just sarted taking it yesterday please give me good answers not how to grow naturally answers please

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.

i hear that taking glucosamine sulfate makes you grow taller…. read this……… its someones’ story!!!!

"I have seen a lot of bs on these sites, these are scams fellas. I was 5’3 and within the last month have gained 1 and ½ inches. My goal is to reach 5’11. I have begun taking glucosamine sulfate and I believe this is what is responsible. I am a 22 NYU med student and this is not for money or any other reason, I just want to spread the word to other short guys and let u know there is hope. Let me explain how. We have all been told that our growth plates close at around 17 or 18, this is not true. The epiphyseal plates, which is what they are called do not close until 25. Even this is not permanent, the plates weaken around the age of 50, this is called osteoporosis. These plates are what cause long bone growth in the bones of the leg. By taking glucosamine, the cartilage cells in these plates are stimulated causing additional growth after puberty. Trust me guys this is all verifiable, I am not a scammer, and do not represent any, I just know how it feels to be called shorty, shrimpy, midget, and all that other negative garbage. Trust me, you can grow as long as those plates are even slightly open. Don’t spend your money on the crap these scammers are selling, stretching devices and manuals, GH supplements or fucking shoes that are supposed to make u grow. These people are taking advantage of those of us who have to face the serious disadvantage of shortness everyday. Most of us don’t have GH deficiency, we are just the children of short parents, but through proper nutrition and supplementation we can grow beyond our genes."

"Look at Asians, my girlfriend is Japanese and is 5’6, her parents who were born in the 50’s are about my height. The only difference is that she was raised here on an American diet. It is not a coincidence that most of us short guys come from areas where the mortality rates were high. (I’m of Italian ancestry myself) In those parts of the world, our ancestors did not get enough nutrition and those kids who were shorter and reached the end of their sexual development earlier since they did not need as much food were usually the ones that survived to reach adulthood and have kids. Now what makes us short, fellas? Sex hormones, (testosterone and estrogen). The earlier you produce sex hormones, means the earlier u can have kids, unfortunately this also means that your growth plates aren’t open very long either, since sex hormones cause the closure of the plates, but as I said they’re not completely closed till around 25, so there is hope. So guys, believe me or not, throw away your money on trash scams, or go with what I’m saying, verifiable medical advice on how to get taller. Be positive and stay healthy though, diabetics should consult their physician before taking glucosamine sulfate. See ya when I hit that 5’11 mark.
Peace."

IMPRESSIVE HUH…… WHAT DO YOU GUYZ THINK!!!

Did I leave the impression that I was female…?

I’m not.

In light of that you could probably understand my concern
