I'm 17 years old and my height is 5'6". I've heard about growth hormones like HGH, and I'm curiouswhat kind would be appropriate for someone like me? How does it work, and would it really help me get taller? I'm a bit worried about not growing any more at my age. Any advice on this would be great.
As a 17-year-old, your growth plates are still open, and you may naturally grow taller; to support growth, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins D and K, regular exercise like stretching and strength training, and adequate sleep; regarding HGH, it's essential to consult an endocrinologist , as HGH supplements are not recommended for non-medical use, and prescription HGH therapy is only approved for growth hormone deficiency or specific medical conditions.

I've been prescribed SHELCAL D tablets, and I'm just wondering how effective they really are. I know my bones are pretty weak and my vitamin D level is 18.5. How long should I be taking this medication, and are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Its good.. but probably you need to take for life unless you dont decide to take proper balance diet and sun exposure.
