Re: Hgh At Lowest Price!
August 11th, 2009
Hi, im 24 years old and I wanted to know what HGH product i should buy to get taller. My father is 6 feet 2 inches and my mother is average height for a women, and im only 5' 8" and i have brothers and sister who are taller than me. I never had a growth spurt like everyone has so ive set my mind ( even after reading about the side effects) on getting HGH to try to get taller. I know most men stop growing at 23 to 24 years old, so my question is what HGH product i should get that would give me at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches in height. Or what kind of doctor i should consult to get the proper treatments to increase my height.

myquest2009,

I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with your height. However, at your age, human growth hormone will not increase your height. The majority of height comes from an increase in the long bones. Unfortunately, your growth plates have fused, so they (femur, tibia) cannot increase in length.

The use of HGH after the growth plates have fused causes the bones to grow in thickness. This causes a disorder called acromegaly. It affects the face the most. It is often referred to as "acrougly" by some. There have been a few actors with this disorder, one played "Lurch" in the Addams Family movies.

You should use your energy to make the most of your height. No respectable physician is going to provide you with HGH.

yes, the poster above is right. once you reach 21, you'll stop growing so any growth enhancers wont work.
