I'm feeling a bit worried because a few weeks ago, I started experiencing this tingling pins-and-needles sensation in my feet and hands. It seems to happen in my feet mostly when I'm sitting cross-legged. I went to my doctor, did some tests for vitamin B12, vitamin D, and thyroid, and it turned out my vitamin D was really low, at 29 nmolL. I've been taking vitamin D tablets, but the tingling is still there when I sit a certain way. Plus, my hands get super dry at night. Could all these be related to the vitamin D deficiency?

The tingling sensation in your feet and hands, especially when sitting with legs crossed, and dry hands at night, may be partially related to Vitamin D deficiency, but other factors like poor circulation, nerve compression, or peripheral neuropathy might also contribute; continue taking Vitamin D supplements and consult your doctor to rule out other underlying causes and consider additional tests or referrals to a specialist if necessary.

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.
