I am 21 male,5ft8,any way to increase my bone thickness like hormone theraphy etc ?as i have super small frame,5 .5inch wrist,is the therapy safe ?

No!: At age 21 your bones are close to being complete. Over the next few years the bones will become stronger without increase in size. Now is time to increase your muscle size.
