Can taking pituitrophin help my 11 years old boy become taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I doubt it. This is a dietary supplement and as such is not regulated by the FDA or required to prove its claims. Final stature for males is expected to reach the average of both parent heights plus 5 cm. Good health, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep and exercise will support reaching their genetic height, supplements do not increase the final height.
