Hello, I am 18 and a few months. Like a lot of people my age, I wish I could grow a few more inches. Now, I know this is largely an impossible task if your growth plates are closed bar very painful leg lengthening surgery; however, I am sure my growth plates are not closed yet and would like to know what I could take to increase my height.

For what it's worth, through copious research I have found these to 'apparently' help when epiphyseal plates are still open:
-HGH increasing supplements eg HGHup
-aromatase inhibitors which offset the closing of epithelial plates allowing a greater final height
-straight up HGH cycles (I am considering this)
-anti-estrogens, IGF to stop the closing of growth plates
-hexarelin 50mcg (potent pi3k activator - bare in mind I don't know what this is in the slightest)
-niacin (flush version)

Has anyone had any experience with these for height growth? Does this work at all?
My budget is pretty high, and so I would love to hear some input from you guys before I hop on the HGH cycles. Thanks a lot!

I don't know about increasing you height, but I can tell you will get shorter when you get older. I used to be a very tall 5'6" now I'm only 5'5" !!

I am around 5'8" right now lol. Hitting 5'10" would just kill most of my insecurities. My height is always on my mind, and no doubt, it negatively impacts my life. I know, I know, no one really gives a damn in real life. But..

To put it nicely, your attempts to increase your height will be both very dangerous and in vein.

Just buy a Medieval period Rack, but be careful. You don't want to over stretch and become too tall.

I understand what you're getting at. However, the topic at hand is whether these supplements have any effect on height before growth plate closure.

I mean no offence, it's just that I'm adamant in growing taller, both for my bodybuilding goals and my self esteem.

none of this would work... these things are typically attempted at an early age while there is plenty of time to still grow... you are never... and I mean NEVER grow 2 inches from this point with or with out any licit or illicit supplements. its simply too late for you. move on with your life bro.

How do you know, I have heard of kids over 18 have a growth spurt. Happens all the time.

I'm only 5'6 but I've noticed lately that the average woman is around 5'2-5'3 and the average man is 5'8-5'10 only. I tower over almost everyone I hang with and when I meet people who tell me they're 5'6-5'7, I call bs because how could you be that tall yet I'm taller than you?!?
Out of 20 people at work, I'm the only woman and I'm the 5th tallest person. :D

:tall Asian:

I also have to respectfully disagree with that statement. My younger brother went from 6' to 6'2" his first year in the Marine Corp. And that first year he didn't have time to lift. It was boot camp, infantry school, then weapons (he was an 0351 SMAW gunner) back to back to back.

ok... I can concede that natural growth spurts do happen at this age + a little older, and he could grow more... but at this point 2 inches aint even likely.

Exactly. I'm tall with long arms and 16" arms on me look weak. Put those on someone shorter than me and BAM! Just goes to show there are some advantages to being a tad shorter. Hopefully the OP can learn to love what he has and work on the things he has control over.

Lol, all these replies

In regards to the asian girl who apparently towers over many people at merely 5'6", people like you are the sole reason I'm such a bitter **** about my height. It obviously is not your fault at all, we all have preferences. I'm an asian guy and I get rejected by asian girls due to my height all the damn time. Girls of other races don't tend to care hence my past girlfriends being non-asian, but it just hurts when some asian girl wouldn't date me based on my average height.

I'm rambling. I just need a few more inches, if none of these methods work, I'll probably go with HGH injections. Thanks guys.

Well, I'll tell you, it goes both ways. I've never been hit on by any Asian guys because I'm too "big" for them. I'm not the typical petite little Asian girl and sometimes when I'm with my friends, I wish I was smaller. But.... Oh well, we have to embrace ourselves because at the end of the day, nobody will love you if you don't love yourself.

Just get huge. A shorter guy always looks better with muscles. I feel bad many of you are teasing him. I know how sensitive men are about their height.

sounds like the OP spends too much time in a certain other misc section which coined such a negative term that is "manlet"

Just lift heavy chit get strong and nobody will give two fuks about your height

Chill out most shorter men get real stacked if you stay in the gym, compared to some tall lanky *******. You can quote me on this in a couple years of you like.

OP, how tall is your mother? I'm sure you're aware of the crude formula for height prediction. Additionally, do you think or know about growth plate closure? If you have had a scan, which bones? Growth plates close at different times on different bones and even at different ends of the same bone.

I don't believe it's true. My mother is 5'2 and my father is 5'3 but my brothers are 5'10-6'0 tall. My younger sister is 5'7, I'm 5'6, and my older sister is 5'3.

At the end of the day, we just have to truly love ourselves. There's no magic trick, no magic pill. We complain about frivolous issues but some people are happy with less than what we have...

Which is why it's a crude formula...diet, health and nutrition play a huge (if not primary) role in determining final height. We know that in countries where medicine and nutrition have improved, mean height has increased. Your parents stature may be explained by the quality of healthcare and nutrition available to them prenatal to late teens.

Now back to you...I thought you were around 5'8" and now you're stating you're 5'6". I was prepared to actually give you some constructive feedback rather than some witty comments but given your inconsistent responses I'm afraid I may be wasting my time...sorry OP, I'm out.

Feel lucky you made it to 5'8 and stay in the gym. You'll get ***** guaranteed girls who care how tall you are = shallow, probably fat themselves. I'm 5'10 maybe a hair under and ive never questioned NY height or had a girl turn me down due to it. They care more about a well defined body and a big hog

Op, I understand where you are coming from. I'm a woman I have dated shorter men that have expressed their insecurity about wanting to be taller. You don't want those women who would even tell you things like if you were taller. As long as you training and maybe taking other things, it should boost your confidence. And if your Asian you should be expected to be really tall anyway. You could also try going for shorter girls. I would never say to a guy if you were taller, I would date you. Many pro mma fighters are short. I've dated 2. And you would know their name and who they were, if I told you. And some of the comments were so rude, when he already stated how much his height made him insecure.

Please don't generalize that we shouldn't expect to be tall because we're Asian. It's like saying if you're Black, you're suppose to have a big effn c*ck.

We understand that OP is insecure about his height, we all have our own insecurities. But like I posted the other day:

We live a life of FREEDOM on the "outside"
but so many remain SLAVES on the "inside".

To the Asian chick, I think actually you said one of the rudest comments towards him. Asians are known for being not being tall. Most Asians are not tall. Most Asian women are petite also. Most are not bigger like yourself.

Don't address me as "Asian chick". I'm a woman just like you. We all come in different shapes and sizes so again, please stop generalizing your bs on this forum. Take your freaking rant to Instagram or Facebook.
