A member asked:
I'm 17 years old and my hight is 155 cm can hgh help with my problem at this age or is it too late, also how much time does it take me to get 165cm ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. can review chart: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use, but unlikely at age 17 years.
