Is It Possible To Increase Height Or Bone-cartilage Length After Growth Plates Are Fused And Are Growth Boom Supplements Effective Or Just A Scam?

Hello, I am a 26m, i have 5 7 . The issue is, that want to be taller so i have looked for ways to improve my height. For 2 weeks ago i am doing yoga, and hanging exercise regularly. So far this is the only way to reach my goal. But i wanted more, and i was curious about ways to increase also the length of my bones or the cartilage. (I would be happy with any result) I am not sure if my growth plates are fused, but more likely they are. Limb lengthening is not an option for me so i have looked for other options (supplements) which maybe are just scam, but i decided to give them a chance and first understand how they work (or at least how could :D). I have contacted some companies and one of them gave me some information: Dear Customer, Thank you for your email. Growth Boom will still regenerate your fused bones. It is a very complex process. If you are familiar with medical science we can explain it to you. Please check the attached schema. In this schematic image , you can see how Growth Boom stimulates growth. A schematic representation of hormonal control of body development and growth . Kisspeptin from Kiss neurons stimulates GnRH secretion by a direct effect on GnRH neurons. KiSS-1 neurons in the ARC involves in the negative feedback regulation of GnRH/LH by sex steroids. The expression of KiSS-1 mRNA in the arcuate is inhibited by estradiol (E), and testosterone (T). + = stimulation, – = inhibition Please let me know if you need further information Sincerely I am curious about your thoughts.

Hi,

After the bone plates are fused no further lengthening is possible unfortunately. Growth plate closure prevents further cartilage from being added to the long bones, meaning they cannot increase in length and the person cannot increase in height. The growth plates cannot be regenerated to further increase height.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
