Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Height enhancement medications what has been advertised are not clinically proven and approved by the authoritative agencies.
Once the growth of long bones is complete and the fusion of epiphysis (growing end of the bones) takes place, there is no possibility of achievement of the enhancement of height. Hence, practically, growth is complete by adolescence.
It would be a waste of time and money if you spend on such products without any appreciable results.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
