A member asked:
I took hardcore whey protein(anabolic supplement in the form of powder shakes) @ 14 and i was 5'7. im now 17 and still 5'7. is my height stunted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
5' 7" sounds normal: 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 affect height.
