We get constant requests regarding information on what is the best hgh product for height increase. We decided we would write a post on the subject and give it its own special category so that people could have easy access to the facts. Repeating the same answer over and over gets old.
The simple truth is that there is no growth hormone pill, powder or spray, that will help you grow taller.
NADA! Nothing! Does not exists!
Sure, the web has hundreds of sites that promise incredible results if you just buy their special magnificent product. Every single one of these sites is a fraudulent scam. A lot of these are just the same group of con artists selling the same exact product under several different names.
The FTC keeps trying to put these people out of business but they just keep springing up with new names.
They don’t even try to sell you a decent product while stealing your money. Most of the products that they push would not do much to stimulate natural release in a 50 year old.
There is no scientific evidence that any known secretagogue supplement will cause an increase in height. It won’t work for young children. It won’t work for teenagers. It won’t work for guys in their 20’s.
Get the pattern here?
So now you might be thinking that maybe you could scrap up the big money and buy injectable human growth hormone. Unless you are a child with a growth hormone deficiency, this won’t do you any good either.
The keyword here is deficiency. There is no scientific evidence that prescription hgh injections have any effect if a deficiency is not present.
Even in children who have low measurable hormone levels the level of benefits balanced against the hgh side effects are questionable. Many do not respond at all to the therapy. Studies show that those who do respond only experience an increase in height of about three inches. This can be after spending $50,000 on injections and medical expenses.
If injectable hgh won’t work what can you do?
Practice acceptance.
A 15 year old still has a chance of a growth spurt or two. By the time age 20 rolls around there is little chances of adding any stature. Height increase after age 25 is very rare.
So save your money. There is no magic pill.
Hopefully we will never have to write about this again.

Well it’s a good thing there are ppl like you to set things straight,
though mentioning viable alternative treatments would be in place here.
For example the only medically proven method in existence today is limb lengthening. A painful and prolonged experience that can add up to 15 cm of proportional height.

O’Rielly,
We were trying to stick just to our area of expertise. There were a number of other types of products being hawked that looked just as scammy.
Bone lengthening seems like a drastic alternative to me. I think most people would want to avoid anything painful and prolonged. Two words that i cringe at using together.
I can see that there might be some reason to go to that kind of medical extreme.

I’m one of those who’s really wary of hormone manipulation, so I enjoy seeing good articles that strongly caution against their use.
The body has a very complicated, delicate chemical (hormonal) dance and pumping in unusual quantities of any hormone disrupts that dance and just might result in serious issues.
Nice post.

Greg,
We are not against hormone manipulation. We just think that the marketing of magic pills to grow taller is total BS.
