I'm 18 and my height's stuck at 5.3 feet. I really want to hit 5.7 feet. I'm eating right and exercising regularly, but still not seeing any changes. Could you help me out with some advice on how to increase my height? Are there any medicines that can actually help with growing taller?
At the age of 18, the growth plates in your bones may have already fused, limiting the potential for further height growth. However, if you are still looking to explore options, you can consider taking Growth Factor Plus. It is a supplement that contains a blend of growth factors and amino acids to support bone and cartilage growth. The recommended dosage is 2 capsules daily with food. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, along with regular exercise, can also support overall bone health.
