I am a 21 year old who has been taking thyroid pills for about 3 1/2 years now (I have hypothyroidism). I haven't grown taller since I started taking the pills. I'm still 4'11".
I heard recently that taking growth hormones would help people who have an under active thyroid to increase their height. At 21, do you think it would have any effect on me if I took those growth hormones - or do you think it's too late for me?
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I believe the window of opportunity for growth hormone to help has already closed. Growth hormone is definitely a strong hormone stimulant for growth of long bones (leg bones, and arm bones) however the principal time for that hormone to have its effect stops about two years after the onset of puberty. Two years after the onset of puberty the parts of the long bones that allow for lengthening close/fuse preventing further growth.. I am assuming that you have gone through puberty two years or more ago. Unfortunately the administration of growth hormone after puberty leads to the condition known as acromegaly. When you think of this condition, think of Lerch from the Addams family, or jaws from the James Bond movies. One thing for sure, you have probably seen an endocrinologist in the past for your thyroid, an endocrinologist would be the exact person to see for your current question. In fact a lot of endocrinologist would be excited to see a patient like yourself because it is a problem very different from their usual day to day routine of diabetic patients and simple stable thyroid patients. Please don't get bummed or discouraged by my answer. There is limited information to go on, and there is certainly the possibility that an endocrinologist might have a completely different answer. One thing for certain, do not try to get your hands on growth hormone illegally/from the street. The damage that you can do by using that especially at this time in your life is fairly high. Not to mention if you start taking it now there's always the possibility that it may prevent any doctors in the future from helping you.
Unfortunately , at your age artificial or human growth hormone (hgh) that injected into your body will not be effective. What it is that can be effective at your age is Super-Growth .This product will regenerate your fused bones and boost your natural growth, without side-effects, besides It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job of thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping posture is very important for your body to grow. Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli.
ReplyDeleteDuring deep sleep, growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland is released into your blood stream and travel through your body and causes the thickening and lengthening of your bones. Therefore, you should achieve "deep level" sleep on a daily basis in order to coordinate your affords of exercises and proper diet. The following are some helpful tips on how to easily achieve deep level sleep.
Sleep in a comfortable and firm mattress.
Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and fresh smelling.
Sleep with clean, soft, and comfortable clothes.
Keep your hands and feet warm. Scientific studies have shown that warm hands and feet will help induce REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep. Cold hands and feet will keep you from deep sleep.
Drink a big glass of water before going to bed and when you wake up; this will help clean out your system.
Practice total relaxation and deep breathing for a few minutes before you go to bed.
Relax from head to toe. Close your eyes and relax every part of your body.
Maintain a habit of sleeping at the same time everyday, including weekends.
Sleep on your back with a flat pillow under your knees. This will align your spine properly and prevent any back aches caused by sleeping in a bent position.
Undoubtedly, the quality, quantity, and type of food we eat affect our height, growth, and health. We cannot emphasize enough how important your food intake is in determining how much growth you can possibly obtain. The types of food you eat will either improve or decrease your growth potential.
After careful consideration and research, the daily content of protein, carbohydrates, fats and water can be achieved if the following items were taken regularly. Please take note that this is a guideline and you are free to your own thoughts.
Carrots Fish Liver
Egg Yolk Beef Red Meat
Milk Cheese Apples
Green Vegetables Potatoes Nuts
Yellow Vegetables Almonds Bananas
Peanuts Chicken Beans
Peas Salt 6-8 glasses of water per day
If you eat a lot of peanut butter, your height will not necessarily stop. Neither does masturbation stop height.
What might stop you from growing is smoking, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, digestive problems, or lack of exercise.
