"How to grow taller..."

Hey guys

I really want to grow taller so I could achieve my dream height, I've researched about "growth pills" on the web but I haven't found one that I could trust just yet (apparently there are a lot of scam products out there)....

Any advice (especially to those who has experience of these things)

If you really are desperate, get your legs stretched. I wouldn't waste your money on pills.

There's very little you can do to make yourself taller. Don't be fooled into believing you can get any taller. (Unless you're still growing)

Just accept who you are.

If you're still growing then there really is no substitute for plenty of exercise and a good diet. Stretching and cycling are always good exercises.

I have seen these websites marketing "growth pills" and I 110% guarantee you that these are all scams. The pills themselves 9 times out of ten are nothing more than glorified multi-vitamin capsules/tablets and are no different to what you can get in places like Holland and Barett at a fraction of the price these unscrupulous criminals are selling at.

Multi-vitamins and protein supplements like L-Lysine, L-Arginine may be useful. In reality these are not magic growth pills like the website is making you believe. Supplements like the ones I have outlined above may help with growth in terms of providing you with allt he ssential vitamins but are not guaranteeed to help.

Anyways if these supplements were the real deal, why is there no scientific research to back up their claims? Most of these websites have no postal address for correspondance, what does that tell you?

If you google the nams of these companies you'll find articles about how they were shut down or how they've been proven to be scams.

If you're young you'll still have time to grow so don't get too down about it. But ignore these websites.

In theory that could work. Using an inversion table for about 30 mins a day decompresses the spinal disks which shrink in size over the course of the day meaning that you could lose 1-2 inches in height. This method may help to decrease the effect of that.

Search the forums. There was quite a good thread about this a while ago, the general consensus was that you needed to get Tall Juice from Asda :biggrin:

But yeah, if it bothers you that much, exercise and get some multivitamin and protein supplements, and see your doctor and see if he/she reccomends anything.

That advice gave me quite an embarrasing problem. I'd advise against it.
