Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor, I m a recently married woman aged 26 yrs. My height is 4ft 9inches and my body weight is 48 kgs. And i am under an alopathic medication for Thyroid since last 12 yrs. My question to you is will medicines like Speed Height or Step up help me grow my height atleast by 2-3 inches?? If not,please suggest an alternative medication urgently. Thank you.
Please do not get influenced by any advertisement or health product which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful. An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 16-19 years in females. Considering the fact that you are 26 years old, your growth plates had already fused. Under such condition, neither food supplements nor specific exercises will be effective in increasing your height. Just accept your height and try to feel comfortable with it.
Take care.
