    There are no exercises or foods that will increase your height, it is all a matter of genetics.

    How old are you? You still may have some time left to grow.

    You still have plenty of time to grow. Many kids keep growing until they are as old as 18.

    Sadly, there are no foods or exercises.

    What's wrong with being 5'3''? You're still young and you might still grow, but why don't you like your height?

    Sorry :) but you cαn't mαke yourself grow tαller unless you do the following:
    1-there αre pills out there cαlled mαxigro or mαxi height or whαtever it's cαlled but it does end up in loss of bone density, osteoprosis, kindey fαilure-- mmm nothing reαlly worth doing unless you wαnt to be pretty for α couple yeαrs then die...
    4- you get hormone shots- messes up your body though
    or my personαl fαvourite
    3-there wαs this one girl in englαnd thαt got her legs broken αnd they αdded some sort of extensions to her legs.. she hαd to leαrn how to wαlk αgαin -- αnd there wαs α 50% chαnce she might hαve died..

    However the BEST choice is: you cαn bulid up long leαn muscles αnd do dαily stretching to "αppeαr" tαller...

    this is comming from someone who is αs tαll αs the olsen twins... (5 feet right on the dot)

    I would suggest doing yoga and palates; these exercises can help elongate and strengthen the body. I'm only 5'0, so be proud of your extra 3 inches and learn to love your body for what it is; I do not think you need any type of hormone supplements!

    Satogrowth will NOT work on full-grown adults.

    Here's why: Its only function is to increase the body's production of growth hormone. Once an adult's bones are fully formed and fused, growth hormone will no longer have an effect on them. That's why adult bodybuilders, athletes, and Barry Bonds are still the same height they've always been, even after supplementing with HGH.

    Now, it might "work" in younger people who have not finished growing yet, as products like this were actually developed to HELP adolescents who had a deficiency of growth hormone.

    But then scumbag profiteers got ahold of the product and began selling it to ANYONE who would buy it, regardless of the side effects or the fact that it won't work on adults.

    Be careful using anything that messes with hormone production. You have no way of knowing if your hormone levels are ideal unless you get tested by your doctor. If you don't need HGH supplementation (which most people do not), then you're putting yourself at risk by taking this scam product.

    HGH is a banned substance for a reason: It's dangerous. Doctors can prescribe it to people who need the supplementation, and for these people it's a blessing.

    For the rest of us, we'll be better served by not listening to Internet spam.

    phil_stl disagrees: Stretching exercises, Multi-vitamins, Lycine, L-Glutamine ARE ways one can grow! (That are safe too)
    Wow this post is 5 months old!!

    Phil, can you please tell me how to stretch a bone once the ephysial plates (growth plates) are fused?

    True growth comes from the bone, specifically the long bones. Once the long bones have stopped growing and maturing, the ephysial plates fuse together which prevents further growth. This occurs typically around the age of 18, but can continue up until 25 years of age.

    Time for you to go back to Anatomy & Physiology class Phil.
