At the age of 18, HGH will likely not help you grow taller. ... No, it's way too late for hgh injections (and pills claiming to increase hgh are as good as worthless).Even with a healthy diet, most people's height won't increase after age 18 to 20. ... Increases in height are primarily due to the lengthening of your long bones, as the growth plates are still active or “open. Exercise is the best possible way to help you grow taller and achieve your maximum height, naturally. ... Proper exercise helps in toning and strengthening your muscles, releasing the growth hormones which are responsible for height gain.

No, I understand your concern for gaining height and worries about short height. It is pointless to worry about your height and even if parents have height the children may not get the same height as the genetics can undergo changes called mutation and parental traits need not be fully transferred to children. Your height is what you have you have got by your chromosomes and genes and is unchangeable or it can be said that your height is your god given height understand that it is not the physical height which makes a person great but on the other hand it is the value or height of his achievement in his life that makes him stand at an increased height in society and make him feel proud where physical height is immaterial. A person in his growing years can grow until he is 21 years of age by eating good balanced diets fruits and vitamins a lot of people are crazy to increase height and a person’s height is his genetic trait and we cannot, in fact, modify it. There are many false advertisements claiming to have a magical formula for increasing height which is nothing but money making and misleading advertisements. There are no safe allopathic / unani / homeo drugs or diet plans or surgery or any medical /magical methods and exercises to increase or decrease height and it is the genetic trait of a person and is based on parental height. There is no magical remedy for height modification. Many products marketed as height increasing products are false claims and will only take your money away. You learn to live with what height you have genetically got and many great men in history were not tall and they are known for and famous for their great deeds. Understand that it is not the physical height of anyone but his or her great achievement is hailed by others or society.

Hello, Short heightedness can be due to heredity reasons (genetics), lack of proper nutrition: lacking in essential vitamins and minerals, substance abuse, lack of sufficient physical activity, endocrinal/hormonal problems, mostly related to hypofunctional pituitary gland. Also, problems with bone formation and calcification are responsible for shorter stature and built. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) also plays a determining part. HGH is secreted by pituitary gland and it is directly connected to how long your bones and cartilages grow. Here are some home remedies that you should include right away to increase your height naturally: ASHWAGANDHA: Ashwagandha can indirectly influence the release of HGH and helps the body in overall development. Take 1 tablespoon of Ashwagandha powder with a glass of warm milk (preferably with 1 tablespoon of shakkar) at night before going to bed. OTHER HERBS: You can also try some other beneficial herbs like shilajit, shatavari, guduchi, amla, and guggul. BALANCED DIET: Eat a High protein diet with chicken breasts and chicken soup, Bone broth, fish, eggs, Milk and other dairy products. Also, eat all seasonal fruits and vegetables (especially broccoli, spinach and turnips). WATER: Drink plenty of water (at least 5 litres) every day to keep yourself hydrated and to promote bone and muscle growth. Also drink 3 cups of green tea every day. CALCIUM: Calcium is a height booster as your bones are primarily made of calcium. Take a calcium supplement with Vitamin D, magnesium and zinc (at night). MULTI-VITAMIN: Also, taking a high quality multi-vitamin for a month or two helps to provide other essential nutrients to your body for overall development. EXERCISE: Exercise is probably the most important factor. You must give your body a stimulus (or reason) to grow. Do cycling, running, sprinting, Yoga, and meditation. Also, do skipping for at least 20 minutes each day in an open area. Do take part in sport activities like badminton, tennis, basketball, or any other sport of your choice for all round development of the body. Growth hormone supplements could be taken but consult your general physician first.

Growth hormone injection is good effective in increasing height of a person of age between 20-24 years or not?

Growth hormone injection is good effective in increasing height of a person of age between 20-24 years or not?
As you are 21 years of age and hence there is fusion of the bones and hence your height is not going to increase even after giving growth hormone injections.
