Hi there my friend has a disability and wants to to take a height growth supplement and shes currently on meds.please let me know if thats possible thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Height growth is only possible if the growth centers are still open. They close in females ~3 years after first menses or by 17 in most. After they close, no supplement, meds, exercise or diet will add height. An x-ray if the wrist/hand can identify any open growth centers.
