Questions. Has your friend had a bone age study showing open growth centers. If they are closed, nothing will add height. If open in a person with normal hormone levels even injecting growth hormone only pushes growth to where it would be naturally. These supplements are not pre-screened or regulated by the FDA. They do not need to prove effectiveness. I consider it a waste of money.
