A member asked:

Any way to stimulate my pituitary gland to increase growth hormone to grow taller?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dont try: You don't really want to increase growth hormone. Serious consequences can arise. Previous studies were stopped due to serious side effects of increasing growth hormone levels.
