Ignore anyone saying it wont work and thats it's a placebo, because its not, they are just to lazy to try it themselves.

1) Sleep at least 8 hours a day - growth hormone is produced when you sleep
2) Stretching give this workout and you'll difference in 180 days, even if its slight it's better than nothing :smile:

You can't mold genetics I'm afraid. Eitherway, short girls are cute.
I'm the same age and height as you, and I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. It's likely you've reached your full height by now, sorry :sadnod:

I'm 18 (turning 19) and only just 5ft 1. My sister is turning 16 and is something like 4ft 10, she probably won't even reach 5ft. Why worry about being short? I love my height, I could understand you worrying if you were male.

I think your spinal column fuses at a certain age, over the counter supplements won't do much to change that.

Sorry :redface: But there's nothing wrong with being short! You'll get used to it and will accept it, like I did :smile:

You will grow, just give it time :smile: and whatever you do, DO NOT take drugs etc.

I think they're more intended to aid muscular rather than skeletal growth, but either way , she should definitely consult a doctor before going down that route.

Maybe I'm just confident because my whole family (apart from brother and Uncle) are under the height of 5ft 3. But all my friends are at least 5ft 9 haha You have to accept yourself, there is nothing wrong with being short and if you're confident about it then I guess you get less hassle! I don't let anyone make me feel inferior simply because I'm shorter.

180* :biggrin: Good luck and also if you watch the vid it says not to be disharented if its doesn;t happen after 180 days keep with it, it will happen though.
Boys grow till 21 :smile: Just drive out the negative thoughts, postive thoughts make a huge difference.

I know this is a crazy theory, but why do you see so many rich tall kids, less stress, less worries, more sleep, more growth :tongue:

You can do it!

Oh and don't sleep until 2 hours after you have eaten, insulin counters the growth hormone :biggrin:
