Firstly I'm from England. It seems to me that America is the world leader when it comes to these so called miracle growth pills.
I'm 5 foot 7-8 inches, which I'm not comfortable with.... =( I was just wondering if any drug which increases height has been proven at all? Also whether you have taken any, or know off someone who has tried any thing like this?


Thanks in advance.
 
I'm not a doctor, but I strongly advise against buying anything like this. Chances are even if it does work, there are some extremely nasty side-effects. And I don't mean 'nasty' like 'really bad rash', I mean 'nasty' like 'kidney failure'.

Take something like this up with your GP.
 
As somebody of almost identical height, I have to ask what are you thinking?

Be happy with who you are. Don't feel pressured into taking some shady drugs for an extra inch or two of height.
 
I'm 6'4" and there's also drawbacks to being tall. Don't complain and be happy with who you are.
 
your kidding, right? online hormonal growth treatments? you realize how bad those things can be?

growth hormones basically force your body through a second puberty, and we all know how much fun puberty was the first time. another problem with this is that you can get a voice change, baldness, increase in weight, man-boobs, etc. in addition to possibly making you taller. seriously, you should never take any form of hormonal treatment unless its prescribed by a doctor. it would probably be safer to just do leg lengthings like some people who suffer from dwarfism do, though it will take a while and be painful.

and take it from someone thats 6'1", being tall isn't that great. you will have difficulty looking for a car that you feel comfortable in, you will be constantly harassed at stores by people asking if you could get stuff for them, and half the shirts you want will either be too short or if theyre the right length they will be baggy unless you happen to be at the very least chubby.
 
;_; ok, you guys have convinced me for the time being.

There's many reasons for disliking my height however. I'll name a few;

.... I hate it when I a family friend who's in school, then say 2/3 years down the line when their 17. The first thing I notice is that they are now taller than me...

..... I view height similar to age. The problem is Im nearly 23 and when Im around someone younger than me who happens to be taller. I feel like I completely lose the advantage of being the older/wiser person.

Sorta like I lose alittle of the respect, in a sub conscious way.


....... I hate it when a girl calls me short. Even if its not ment in a hurtfull way.


...... I hate that if I were to work out and get the muscle tone and fitness I wanted. Then to feel like my shortness eclipsed all my hard work =/
 
you kidding about the working out part? theres a guy in my area thats around 5'4" and consistantly wins the area's weight lifting tournaments. he's built like a tank, and its easier to notice BECAUSE of his height
 
Let's put it this way...

...You are taking pills that contain chemical compounds that go straight through your cell membranes into the nuclei and change how the way your cells are operating. They may not be doing what you want, but they will be doing something.

I'd have to agree once you get above 6"0 it's mostly the icing on top of the cake that every scrapes off.

Also not sure on the laws where you are, but steroids are illegal when your underage, or compete in sporting events, etc,etc.
 
Eating healthy and getting in a lot of nutrients is a far better idea than taking pills, but at your age I doubt you'll grow much more. Just deal with it, I'm somewhat small as well and people often misguess my age by multiple years, but if anyone judges me based on that then fuck them for being that superficial ?_?
 
You really, REALLY don't want to get taller.

When I started dating my long-time boyfriend, we were both in eigth grade. He was about your height. A little down the line now, he's almost 6'4", and doesn't fit ANYWHERE. ._. Hits his head of of pretty much every ceiling in my house. It's sad. Once you go above about your current height, things go to hell pretty fast. =/

Not to mention, shady internet drugs = addiction/poisoning/death/etc.

tl;dr of topic: Don't take the damn pills, dude.
 
Just beating the dead horse here.
I'm not very tall or very short, I'm 5'11 and 1/4"
I used to think i was a little on the short side untill I went back to Mexico at my current height. In America, I feel normal, at times short, at times tall, most of the time just "normal hight"
But when I go to Mexico, it feels very wierd. Most of the men there are about 5'7"-8" and so, most things are built for that height, it is then when I appreciate America and my height. I have to duck to go through most doors and i stick out in a crowd. and I can't go anywhere without somebody telling me how tall I am. I hear whispering and that sorts of things even if i'm only 3 inches taller than most poeple. So moral of the story, you are who you are and even if you don't like it at times, you might be presented with other situations in your life where you will be glad you are the way you are.
 
I am 5'7" and I am only 13, so yeah, I think I'm tall. Pills aren't good for you, in general, plus something over the internet can lead to death eventually. Also:

I'm 5'5 (or 6, if I finally grew another inch), you should be sort-of happy.Oh, I' m 16, go figure.

Hopefully I have a final growth spurt to like 5'8'' or something.You should be happy.

I didn't grow untill my late junior year. I used to be 5'3" and then I grew 8" in about 2 or three months. Growth spurts ftw. Your's will probably come along soon.

Blak, you have gave me some hope. I am a softmore (15) and am 5'6'' and a quarter (with shoes on a solid 5'7'') and am unhappy with my height. My parents keep telling me I shoot up (not so reassurring when my dad is close to the tallest of my family and extended family at 5'10-11'') but like my feet are bigger than his and my like my head is bigger and such. Doctor says ill be around 5'9'', but hes a (BAN ME PLEASE). And my dad told me he didnt grow till senior year in high school and first year in college, so i dont know what to think..

We're in the same hole then. My dad is also one of the tallest in the family (a 6'3" Mexican is pretty fucking tall) he also tells me the same thing, he says he didn't grow till he was 19, I am 19 now so i have given up hope of growing any more. If your body is like mine your feet will grow ridiculously fast then your body will follow. from a size 8 1/2 to a 11 i went.
