    Height growth plus I am talking about.
    It says it will make your hormone growth, healthy nutrients other stuff inside in it that you will need it.
    It is made in USA. Why shouldn't not increase height. I don't understand

    How old are you?

    Over the counter supplements are designed to relieve your wallet of weight, nothing else.
    They will NOT increase your height, stamina or anything else they claim.

    I am 18 years old. It says in the product it says it will produce growth hormones, your puitaitary gland in your brain. The technology has been changed, why shouldn't it be impossible. There are many things that has been invented. Could you tell me why shouldn't this be impossible?

    This is impossible because at your age the growth plates in your bones have fused already. Nothing is going to "unfuse" them. Height is determined by genetics.

    Is only genetics. There are people who short and there children are tall. So how can this happen then. Is not only genetics, its eating, sport too. In this product there is enough nutrients, that can make your growth hormone get taller. Why? Could you tell a doctor?

    Genetics is not only your parents, but grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.

    You are given what life gives you. This product will not help you at your age.

    But it says there are people who has tried the product in their thirties and it did work? Could you ask a doctor?

    No, I won't ask a doctor because I KNOW this won't work? Why? Because I'm the next best thing to a doctor... I'm a nurse.

    It's impossible for people in their 30s to gain height.

    You see, there are areas in your bones all over your body that are not fused together when you are young. They are called growth plates and are there to promote growth. When you reach a certain age these growth plates fuse together and nothing is going to increase your height once they are fused.

    But there are people in my family that are tall why then I haven't been tall.
    And also what about stretching exercises that make you grow taller, will they make you taller?

    Look, nothing will make you taller than you are. It's possible at your age that you MIGHT grow an inch or two, but not probable.

    I'm sure there are people in your family who are short too. Am I right?
  • Jun 8, 2011, 06:42 AM

    Yes there are people in my family that are short. So I think I look like them. There are people in my family are tall but I didn't look like the tall ones. I look like the ones who are short.
    But why do they sell these products? They say that their prodcut has been checked by Food, Drug, Association.

    They sell these products to MAKE MONEY! And it seems you have fallen for it.

    If you decide to take them make sure to have your kidney and liver functions tested frequently.

    But they said that if didn't work there is money back guarantee? So why do they do this then.
    And it won't work you sure? If I buy I will waste my money do you think?
  • Jun 8, 2011, 06:50 AM

    Most people won't ask for their money back. Yes, I'm sure it won't work. Yes I'm sure you will waste your money. I guarantee it 100% and I'm not even asking you for money up front.

    But why wouldn't they ask for their money back?
    Couldn't they tell police? They could say that they said that if this product don't work you will have money back guarantee and I haven't received my money. So could police help them to get their money? And why wouldn't they ask for their money back guarantee?
  • Jun 8, 2011, 07:02 AM

    Why would they call the police? What are the police going to do? No the police won't help get their money back, they have more important things to do.
