A member asked:
I am 16 yo 173cm should i consult doctor before eating growth hormone like melatonin , gaba ... to increase my height and hgh level ?

Yes consult a doctor: Although you may have seen advertisements for oral growth hormone, there is no pharmacologically effective growth hormone given by mouth. An endocrinologist can do a thorough assessment of your growth, and counsel you about potential benefits of growth hormone.
