No: Unless you are one of those rare people that are kinown as pituitary dwarfs. Personally, I do not advise growth hormone for a healthy person, irrespective of stature.

Balanced nutrition: At seventeen your growth centers have minimal potential for growth ; simple measures help the best.Keep active ; a healthy diet but don't expect to grow taller than your genetic potential.Supplements or even growth hormone will not add inches unless you have a hormone deficiency.An x-ray of your wrist ; hand can be analysed for bone maturity ; your doc can give you an estimate of further growth.
