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.
