Has anyone used or know anything about growth pills or herbs? Right now I'm about 5"5-6 and I'll be 17 in February, I'm hoping I'll grow at least 5-7 more inches before I'm done but as the years go on my chances look to be slimming down. I haven't really grown at all since I was 13 (Was about 5"4 when I was 13 so maybe only an inch or two) and have been told that I probably have one last growth spurt in me but I'm not so sure. I plan on competing in MMA when I hit 18 and I think it'd help if I was taller.

There are a few products on the market that claim they will help you grow in height, but they are complete BS. You are likely are almost at your top height. A quick X-ray of the growth plates in your wrist would likely show whether your body still has the potential to grow. While there is still a chance that you have one more significant growth spurt in you, its pretty unlikely and if it did occur, it would "only" be 2-3 inches maximum. Sorry, but that's what I know from my education as an exercise physiologist.

I had a small growth spurt, (1 inch) around age 20, but for the most part you're probably done growing in height by the time you're 16 or 17, unless you were a late developer and haven't had that first big growth spurt, which may be the case if you haven't really grown since age 13.

you still have time for a good growth spirt... although i wouldnt count on it for sure.... no pills or herbs are remotely safe and cant help you grow in that way, so dont even bother... embrace your current height and if you get anymore then go with it

You also shouldn't believe any ads for pills that will make your junk bigger, lol.

Yeah never did lol.

A friend of mine though took growth hormones about 2-3 years ago and grew 3 inches. Whether or not that was the pills or just natural we'll never know. (And I'm talking about height, not his "third leg" lol)

you might have another spurt, one of my dads friends grew 2 or 3 inches when he was in college (i think he was 20), so theres a small chance. The pills n such, I'm not sure, but I would assume they are a waste of money.

Ya the chances are slim, they say males dont finally stop growing till 21, but i have never really seen that to be the case.

When i was 16 i was 5'10, at 22 im 6'3 so i grew considerably, but from what your describing i would say you might have anouther 1/2 left, but that is more then likely it.

I can't imagine there are any legit products that will really increase your height.

I would be hesitant to use anything that claimed it could anyway.
