Grow Taller With HGH – A Myth or a Fact?

With the entire genome mapped, every protein in your body destined to do a different thing, it might feel like your genetics are set in stone and nothing can change the way you look.

However, there are some pills and products that claim to be able to override your short genetics and help you grow taller even after puberty. But do these pills work?

Since the idea of growing taller well into adulthood is a popular one, here is an explanation for some of the most common methods, helping you to decide which product is best for you.

HGH Pills

The idea behind HGH pills is basically that with an increased amount of human growth hormone in your body, you can finally have what it takes for your cells to increase and for you to build more tissues and get taller.

These pills, however, are not a direct source of HGH for your body. Instead, the pills are equipped with ingredients like specific amino acids that saturate the area around the pituitary gland, stimulating the brain to send the message to produce and secrete more of the human growth hormone.

While this isn’t the fastest way to increase your levels of human growth hormone, this has been shown to be the safest, because it eliminates the risk of overdose that comes with other forms of HGH.

Injections of HGH

Unlike HGH supplements, injections of the hormone are designed to immediately increase your body’s store of the human growth hormone. When HGH was first identified as a hormone that could increase growth, many people, especially athletes, were desperate to get their hands on it.

For this reason, many people used to depend on the human growth hormone that was extracted from cadavers, before synthetic versions of the hormone were produced.

However, these injections, while they may have been effective for a time, were soon deemed illegal because they carried the risk of not only blood-borne illnesses, but also of overdose symptoms like acromegaly, diabetes and heart attack.

Now, the only form of HGH injections that are legalized are ones that are prescribed and supervised by a licensed physician.

Surgery

Definitely the most extreme measure to take, surgical procedures to increase height are also the most expensive. Most surgical methods of increasing height is to saw the lower leg bones in half, inserting a device to keep them slightly separated, and then waiting for the bones to grow back together toward each other.

As gruesome as it is, this is also one of the most sure ways that you can increase in height. However, because the risk of something going wrong is so high, you would not be able to grow more than a couple inches with this surgery.

Because it is so expensive and recovery is so painful, there are very few people who actually undergo this procedure, although it is effective.

Since there are very few options for increasing your height that are both safe and effective, we recommend researching each product extremely well before making any sort of commitment.
